House Democrats Introduce Bill to Ban Manufacture of ‘Assault Weapons’
On December 16, Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI) will introduce the “Assault Weapons Ban of 2015″
to ban all manufacturing of “assault weapons.”
Besides banning the manufacturing of AR-15s and related firearms, the ban would put in place “new restrictions on the sale
of already existing assault weapons.”
According to The Hill, Cicilline said, “Assault weapons are designed for the sole purpose of killing as many people as quickly
as possible. We need to do everything we can to reduce the toll of gun violence by keeping these weapons out of our communities.”
With a total of 91 Democrats pushing the “Assault Weapons Ban of 2015,” it is interesting to note that the New York Times
previously reported that the idea of a class of firearms called “assault weapons” is a piece of fiction the Democrats created in the
1990s. In an article titled, “The Assault Weapon Myth,” the NYT explained that Democrats created the phrase “assault weapons” in
hopes of stigmatizing an entire category of guns—blaming those guns for rising crime—then banning them.

So the military has to turn in all their select fire weapons? ;)

The bill won't get anywhere in the House. Probably won't even make it out of committee.

Not worried about any federal bills as election year is coming, but any local shit may pass.

So, since there were only 284 total murders committed with ALL types of rifles last year, what percentage are "assault" rifles responsible for?
I suspect it's in the single digits, but lets be generous and figure 30%. That works out to about 85 total murders that would've been prevented by banning an entire class of firearm.
The percentage of the total population is so small I'm not even going to try to figure it out. I'm pretty sure lollipops kill more.
This is about control, and usurping our 2nd Amendment rights, nothing else.

This is the very reason it's important to join HRA & HDF.
Sorry if I sound like a broken record, but we can't let our guard down.
