35 Senate Democrats introduce AR-15 gun ban, cite 'domestic terrorism'
2021-03-13
[NYPOST] Thirty-five Senate Democrats have introduced legislation to ban "assault weapons" including popular AR-15-style semi-automatic rifles, citing concern about "domestic terrorism" following the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

Lead sponsor Sen. Dianne Feinstein
...Dem Senator-for-Life from Caliphornica. She has been a politician since about the time she was weaned. Feinstein was the author of the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban, and tried it a second time in 2012. Feinstein has chaired the Select Committee on Intelligence since 2009. At age 80, Feinstein is the oldest currently serving United States Senator....
(D-Calif.) enlisted a majority of her fellow wardheelers as co-sponsors of the "Assault Weapons Ban of 2021."

"To be clear, this bill saves lives. When it was in place from 1994-2004, gun massacres declined by 37 percent compared with the decade before. After the ban expired, the number of massacres rose by 183 percent," Feinstein said in a statement.

"We’re now seeing a rise in domestic terrorism, and military-style assault weapons are increasingly becoming the guns of choice for these dangerous groups."

Democrats frequently use the term "domestic terrorism" to refer to the actions of groups associated with a mob of President Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
supporters who fought police to break into the Capitol and disrupt certification of President Biden’s election victory.

#7  Another example of democrats creating a problem 'only more government can fix.'

"To be clear, this bill saves lives. When it was in place from 1994-2004, gun massacres declined by 37 percent compared with the decade before. After the ban expired, the number of massacres rose by 183 percent," Feinstein said in a statement.

I've seen rabbits pulled out of hats more believable than this pitch phrase.

"Why 183% cousin?'

"Because it focus grouped better, you twit."

#6  funny, my copy of the Constitution is missing the 'domestic terrorism' and 'military-style assault weapon' clause in the wording of the 2nd Amendment

?
Because of all those AR-15 toting 'terrorists' storming and shooting their way into the Capitol on 1/6, filling the halls with blood?
The gunslingers who pistol-whipped Ocasio-Cortez?
The Air Force veteran who shot and killed a Capitol Hill officer at point-blank range?

F--- you liars.

You have zero credibility, zero legitimacy, zero authority over us.

No one threatened you. But you are now pushing us -- the MAJORITY, the people who still love this country and cherish its laws and its Constitution -- you are pushing the normal, quiet, law-abiding majority to the wall.

Another Lexington & Concord is coming. Is that what you power-mad, ridiculous contemptible lunatics really want? Is it?
