House Democrats introduce bill prohibiting sale of semi-automatic weapons

Should be prosecuted for violation of his oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution. I'm good with the death penalty after due process and conviction

Purjury is purjury. There are ways of changing the Constitution of any State .making laws is not one of them.
 
This is why they went after McCain so hard the other day- so that the "Conservative with a conscience" and "war hero" can convince his fellow Republicans to grant his dying wish- "sensible gun laws"(meaning ban any gun that any of their personal security would have). Get ready for a media blitz promoting the few "Brave Rebublicans willing to fight the NRA". I remember as a youth reading about the horrors of the different communist revolutions and always wondering how these things could have happend, and if people realised at the time what they were sliding towards... I realise that Trump is a clown- but know this: he is the only thing standing in their way- there is nobody else!
 
80 Million gun owners need to stand together:

Privileges and Immunities Clause states "No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States." In the Slaughter-House Cases (1873), the Supreme Court recognized a difference between a person's rights as a U.S. citizen and their rights under state law. The ruling held that state laws could not impede a person's federal rights. In McDonald v. Chicago (2010), which overturned a Chicago ban on handguns, Justice Clarence Thomas cited this clause in his opinion supporting the ruling. numerous lawsuits have arisen that have referenced the 14th Amendment. The fact that the amendment uses the word "state" in the Privileges and Immunities Clause -- along with interpretation of the Due Process Clause -- has meant state power and federal power is subject to the Bill of Rights.

Since the Second Amendment did not create or grant any right concerning firearms, the right enumerated in the Amendment has to be an existing right separate from the Amendment. Thus, repealing the Second Amendment would not eliminate any right because the right enumerated in the Amendment was not created by the Amendment. The right to keep and bear arms exists independent of the Constitution or the Second Amendment.
 
I dunno. SCOTUS should be on our side, especially if Trump gets to put 1 or 2 more justices on the bench. But Justice Thomas barked at the bench for refusing to take on more 2A cases. There's something to be said for that if they aren't hearing cases that effect our rights.

there's all the other judges he gets to appoint besides SCOTUS

Look! here's a vacancy!
9th Circuit Court of Appeals judge Stephen Reinhardt dies at 87

the 9th circuit is liberal as shit. maybe the right appointee can help reign that in a bit. They have to be better than "the liberal lion" that just kicked the bucket.

If the Dems win the midterms getting a pro-2a appointee confirmed will NEVER happen after what happened with Scalia.

I recall Reinhardt being especially heinous as well. Good riddance. Time for a few more to take the long dirt nap.
 
How does one go about attaching a rocket launcher to their rifle? If anybody has an answer I think I have a new "Because I can" NFA item I want. I had to look it up and make sure nobody made something stupid that I didn't know about just to be sure.

It can be done.... Just not often
 
On gun control I believe the GOP will take a beating in the midterm elections. The left has the momentum and the numbers to get the job done. And to add insult to injury, I'm sure by then many of our trusted GOP leaders will be jumping ship in order to get much needed votes. At least we know the democrats are dirt bags, so we already know what to expect from them. But when someone we trusted and voted for turns on us, well that really pisses me off !!!
I'm not so sure. While the gun issue might lower voter enthusiasm for Republicans I don't see the Dems picking up any new ones. Furthermore, the economy, immigration and international issues seem to favor the Reps, despite what the media says. I think the GOP will do just fine nationally.
Within Mass however is a different matter. I can't see how the Dems could lose to Baker. They would have to be something beyond incompetent to not take the governorship
 
The definitions named rifles include allmost all the other rifle types one can obtain here in MA. It’s a pretty exhaustive list. Now that semi auto pistols have been in the news, look theyvmade the list too. While your average pocket pistol isn’t named. Boy is seeing, semi auto pistol capable of using energy from a spent cartridge to load the next round, language terrifying. Hate to sound like the guy in the off ramp, but the end is near. Once we disarm our selves one of the older traditional powers will take us over, like Russia or China. I hope this flops, so poorly that this gets put to rest, if not if the Democrats take the mid terms, we are cooked. If the democrats take the mid terms, trump is toast too, which means we are in serious trouble as a nation. I’m so diasapointee Russia was able to get us to eat each other, we did all their hard work our selves.
 
164 dem sponsors

Cosponsors - H.R.5087 - 115th Congress (2017-2018): To regulate the importation, manufacture, possession, sale or transfer of assault weapons, and for other purposes.

Appears that the dem party has decided to fall on the sword of gun control which is a guaranteed fail based on historic losses when they go full retard.

Bright side of some of this is Rep Scalise's comments

WATCH: Shooting Survivor Steve Scalise SLAMS Leftists Pushing Gun Control

Lets recall that he was shot by one of the many unhinged bernie supporters last year........

Call Rep Scalise and thank him for supporting your RKBA (202) 225-3015

Washington, DC Office | Congressman Steve Scalise

He's my rep, not much more I can do than vote for him next time.
 
No idea why you'd say that. Trump is as liberal as any democrat you're going to find.

If this ban comes up after the dems take congress in the midterms trump will absolutely 100% sign it.

My point was more that currently nothing like this would end be able to reach the presidents desk. If the democrats take either house or senate or both, Trump gets impeached, and all sorts of hooey flows to the commander in chiefs desk. Trump and the republicans represent the only line between what we know, and socialism. So more thinking that the dems want to rip this country apart.

Not sure if serious, contrary to popular belief gun control movement is a political loser of an issue that virtually nobody cares about outside of MSM and hard core moonbats.

If GOP loses seats its going to be because of either shitty people running for those seats (RINOs etc) or some wobbly state doing a "trump referendum" type
thing, not "because they didn't vote against guns".

The GOP is going to take a beating because they're spending like drunken Democrats. The independents and conservatives who reluctantly voted for them last time, have had enough.

Problem is the end result is usually that it puts the heroin addicts back in power, lol. Same curse, different branding.

I'm waiting for the next round of "quantative easing" probably proposed by whoever the moonbat is that replaces trump long term... or even shorter than that.
