H.R. 5807 Assault Weapon Ban of 2018

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

The mere fact that elected officials of the United States of America would propose legislation that is contrary to the Constitution of the United States and yet still remain in office simply baffles me.

The list of firearms you may be allowed to own (out of their most generous dispensation) can be found here in the draft text.

Regardless of whether or not this ever sees the light of day out of committee is not the point. The demonstration of hubris by these named people leaves me without sufficient vocabulary to express my utter contempt.

There are many on here that avoid joining clubs, groups, societies, etc... but I do believe that the assault on the NRA is of serious consequence and that being a member of the NRA has become of utmost importance at this moment in time. Something to consider.

With radical representatives like Maxine Waters and many others I am no longer baffled. They doing their best to represent and assist their constituents and donor base in their effort to burn the White mans Law and to turn the USA into a South Africa, Rhodesia or Zimbabwe.

Because the First ban was so effective. Strip people of their rights all to feel better. Some of the sheep in this country don’t deserve the freedom they enjoy.

Interestingly enough, this is not just a ban on new weapons, like the first AWB, it outlaws _possession_ as well.

And did anyone look at the appendix? In the list of firearms specifically exempted, it lists the Ruger Mini-14 - a semi-automatic magazine-fed rifle, which has been used in mass shootings in Canada and Norway

Apparently it's more important that a rifle not _look_ evil...

The active or retired LEO exemption of possession creates a special class of people.

So Congress favors “the cowards of Broward” over Avg Joe? (MD legislature does the same thing here, which is why Baltimore is so safe.)

H.R. 5807 Assault Weapon Ban of 2018 & barry soetoro, the all time best firearms sales devices in the history of the world.

Every time the .gov mentions "ban" 50 million more black rifles are sold, along with 500,000,000 5.56 rounds.

Good luck with your "ban". I think I'll go purchase another "black rifle".

They almost always pander to that class, just as many states pandered to them in the crafting of carry laws. Just part of the legislative "Rules for thee, but not for Me" mentality. Sometimes helps get "associations" on board, said partnership then becoming part of the ad campaign.

Plus ca change...

Hope your device is big enough to see his vitriol hatred for American values as he walks out of the State of the Union. As they say in the South " Bless his little heart"...
