[BearingArms] The U.S. House of Representatives passed three gun control bills on Tuesday, ramping up the pressure on the U.S. Senate to "do something" now that Congress has returned from its legislative session. The three bills include a measure offering grants to states to set up "red flag" laws, a prohibition on gun ownership for those convicted of misdemeanor hate crimes, and a ban on magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition. Later this month the House Judiciary Committee is also expected to pass a sweeping ban on semi-automatic firearms and magazines over 10 rounds.The additional gun control measures passed by the House are meant to apply pressure to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who said gun control would be "front and center" when the Senate returned, but has since said he won't bring any gun bill to the floor that won't be signed by President Donald Trump. On Tuesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said McConnell's inaction has led to the deaths of Americans.
Horrible, ineffective and tyrannical idea after idea. This is the full sprint to a total gun ban by the left. One can only hope that the Senate doesn't cave to this and Trump doesn't sign it if they do.
Otherwise the Republicans are dead as a party. And so is the US.
