Get ready for a flurry of gun control bills
« on: November 13, 2018, 08:22:03 AM »
A brief article on what's to come from the House now that the Dems have taken control, as well as the ultimate cause of the takeover, as also discussed on the election thread. I'm afraid I have to concur with The Captain's grim assessment. And am pretty sure we're going to see a pile of crap thrown at us here by the state legislature too.

CNN On What House Democrats Can Do About Guns

Get ready for a flurry of gun control bills, but don’t blame the democrats when they get signed into law.  A good number of the republicans will also go with the democrats, and my bet is that Trump will sign anything that isn’t directly opposed by the Fudds.

As long as any new controller initiative doesn’t affect bird shot and bolt action deer rifles, the NRA and company won’t oppose it.
...

California used to be a solid red state.  Texas would have been out of the question for democrats thirty years ago.  Florida and Virginia used to be solid red states.

It has all happened because of immigration, and we are watching the beginning of the end.  You all understand that, right?

Okay... well, that didn't take long. Actually the bill was introduced before I posted the above article, but didn't see this article about this bill banning 80% stuff and parts until yesterday (includes link to bill itself).

Democrats Introduce Bill Banning Sales and Advertisements for Gun Parts Kits

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2018/11/13/democrats-introduce-bill-banning-sales-and-advertisements-for-gun-parts-kits/

Democrats in the House quietly put forward a ban on 80 percent frames and gun parts kits while Americans were focused on voting and watching the outcome of the midterm elections.

The legislation, HR 7115, is sponsored by Rep. Frank Pallone (D-NJ) and has 16 Democrats as co-sponsors.

The bill states the purpose of the legislation is to prevent the sale, possession, or advertising, of 80 percent receivers, gun parts kits, etc.

The text of HR 7115 says:

To prohibit the sale, acquisition, distribution in commerce, or import into the United States of certain firearm receiver castings or blanks, assault weapon parts kits, and machine gun parts kits and the marketing or advertising of such castings or blanks and kits on any medium of electronic communications, to require homemade firearms to have serial numbers, and for other purposes.

Sadly we do understand. Is there a dislike button anywhere...  :(
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy.

If you use the data on "mass public shootings" from Vox, Gun Violence Archive, (Bloomberg's )The Trace, etc., there is an average of one "mass public shooting" per day, so it wouldn't be all that hard to predict by their standards. It would be pretty hard to miss by three days given their rate and frequency.

Of course they're totally full of shit lying scum, so that would need to be taken into account.

Sounds like you're using the "4 people or more"  definition of mass shootings.
