ht/ bad brad
Democrat ploy for mid-term reference. DOA.
What is it with Libtards and pistol grips. We need to come up with an appropriate name for this phobia.
PS. Sacramento is getting ready to explode. Black Lives Matters is going animal and the Sac city council and Mayor are encouraging them. Fun Fun.
A big waste of trees and ink.
IMHO.
Insane. I don’t own an ASSAULT weapon but I do own a BATTLE rifle, the indestructible (but heavy) M1, chambered, of course, in a REAL high-powered cartridge, .30-06.
It isn’t on the proposed ban list either by name or by its attributes. Yet.
The first amendment cruises along with computers, Internet, high power computers, social media etc… The 2nd amendment enforces the 1st amendment so why the Hell should it be limited? Oh, I know, so the Marxists can take over! I believe we the people “Know how to build Tanks, Helicopters, Nukes, mini-guns, RADARS, etc”, and if the left goes there we will be in for a BIG surprise in America. There will be a gun behind every blade of grass!!!!!
@Bad_Brad – I think the preoccupation with pistol grips is because it makes them think of their tiny penises, and they shamefully wish they could wrap their whole hand around their members when engaging in the only sex act they know instead of having to use needle nose pliers.
How about “korophobe” – fear of shrinking penises?
“…shall not be infringed.” All signers of this unconstitutional monstrosity have violated their sworn oath to uphold and maintain the US Constitution and should be removed from office.
Keep it up and go for it. I only wish they saved this for 2020. Because this is the crap that get’s American’s pissed. And not just gun owners.
Will never hit the floor for a vote.
thank you for the modification alert
write what you want … you don’t understand it in the first place … we’ll work around it … always have, always will
Seeing this list, I have a feeling I may be doing so shopping soon.
I can imagine (if you will) that any and all of my weapons (that recently suffered a terrible boating accident) COULD be considered “ASSAULT” weapons (including but not limited to: hammers, kitchen knives, chainsaws, ropes, chains, fishing tackle and yes) firearms, but regardless of their respective character (pistol grips and whatnot), none of them have assaulted anyone whilst in my ownership.
I am pretty sure that my Congressman will have nothing to do with this HB/BS.
“Speaking the truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act.” Geo. Orwell
ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ
“Threaded Barrel” Yea I can get around that.
“Heat Shield” That’s a hand guard. (Rail). That’s going to take some thinking. My opinion, this is next to air tight. It won’t pass. This time. Maybe another false flag will do the trick.
The truth is if they thought they could get away with it they would ban all guns, including muskets. That’s what commies do.
Why are we always giving these assholes legitimacy by trying to find work-around’s to whatever law they come up with?
Why don’t we stand our ground and tell them to fuck off and die?
Seriously.
Dumb asses: Assault weapon’s users = the assault weapon is a knife!
There are so many names on that list who signed on, it would be easier to see who didn’t sign on.
I kind of wish Republicans would let them vote on this, nothing drives people to the polls like threatening to take away guns.
I agree TSUNAMI.
Meerkat, I could assault someone with my hands, my head or my feet. I could use a knife, ballbat, chainsaw, nail gun, hammer, even a fork as an assault weapon.
Here’s the other thing. We should be able to purchase the same guns as our military. That is the crust of the second amendment.
OK, would they like the 250 million guns all at once? I will get right on it.
Dear far left, left, and just stupid, not ever ever going to happen.
“If it ever happens” I pity the leo that is tasked with this for I consider them on my side and good people for 98% of them.
It was 300 million just after oblowme took office. I’ll bet it’s in excess of 400 million now. Remember, it took only 3% to accomplish the last revolution.
The jaskasses of congress can put together this Christmas tree, of the suppression of the constitution, but can’t get their act together to repeal obama(doesn’t)care, DACA, immigration REAL control, a damn fence, and etc. JACKASSES.
So what’s next? Knives, baseball bats, trains, planes, cars, hell, even fists, fingernails, and hands can be defined as ASSAULT weapons.
Right now, I could be accused of a thought crime- illegal USE of an assault weapon —my foot to the butts of congress.
*UNIPARTY lives!*
The Vietcong kicked some ass with crossbows and flintlocks.
The mind is the only weapon.
Everything else is a tool.
As for this proposed abomination:
No.
Your move.
The list of stupid.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/5087/cosponsors .
Don’t you know, the 2nd amendment was only to allow muzzleload single shot muskets.
After all, they obviously didn’t mean to include any futureistic repeating weapons.
However, when dealing with abortion ( clearly never in the Constitution), the Constitution is a lining and flexible document which changes as needed.
Liberal logic is an oxymoron.
“Removable magazines” That pretty much bans most modern hand guns.
This is just one of those wastes of time theater productions for the upcoming elections.
Every.single.one.a.demoRAT.
Citizens of the United States – it’s obvious who wants to leave you defenseless against politicians and criminals (but I repeat myself).
Trump Vows To ‘Never’ Repeal The Second Amendment

My right to defend myself isn’t open to negotiation.
Every animal will defend itself (every plant, too, to the best of its ability).
This isn’t even a debate. This is a demand that you enslave yourself.
Jeez – ask the peasants in Charlemagne’s time, in John’s time, in Frederick’s time, ask the Jews of Germany in the 30s, ask the Belarussians in the 20s and 30s, ask the Ukrainians of the 30s, ask the negroes of the antebellum south, ask the New Yorkers at the time of the Sullivan Laws, ask the Brits just prior to BOTH World Wars, ask the Algerians under the French, &c., &c., &c. …
There’s a REASON our educational “system” sucks ass.
There’s a REASON our Media sucks ass.
There’s a REASON our political “system” is mired in the “swamp.”
There’s a REASON our politicians are duplicitous, lying, conniving sacks of shit.
And that REASON has NOTHING to do with Liberty and Freedom.
The past isn’t really past – it’s a specter hovering over us attempting to show us the foolishness and depravity of our species and to make a finger-post towards a better future.
izlamo delenda est …
A 2nd pistol grip on a handgun is already illegal unless you have the tax stamp.
Really, they named the Hi-Point carbine?
Their handgun rules would also ban the Ruger Charger pistol. It’s magazine loads in front of the trigger and many versions have threaded barrels.
How many belt fed semi-autos have been used in crimes? The two they name will cost you thousands of dollars.
DROP
DEAD
😡
All those firearms on the banned list and the dip-sticks don’t even know the definition of “Assault Weapon”. So, I have a few more suggestions to add to the list…dinner plates, butter knives rubber bands, ball point pens, paper clips, screwdrivers, hammers, spare tires, a sheet of paper, and the list goes on and on and on. My point is that ANYTHING can be a weapon to assault. Another point I would like to make is these people are acting like they are terrified because of the components or the looks of the firearms. So, consider this, Diane Feinstein is scary ugly so that must mean we need to not sell Halloween costumes any more? These idiots don’t even realize the number of firearms laws on the books that are not enforced that if they were, maybe, just maybe, some of the BS would not happen. But, NO! They not only do realize this fact, they ignore it so they can appear to do something for their constituents when in fact they are doing things for themselves. Kind of along the lines “Likes” on book of face, the more you have the better off you are. If they conceive, draft, and submit bills and the like then they must be doing a good job, right? Uh, NO…again. They do not want to fix anything but only appear to do so. If they really do fix anything then they won’t have anything to fix later. Bunch of damn piss ants. And yes, Republicans are included!
GFY democrats… you and all the stupid little suburban dumbfuck “moms” (control freak lesbians with government jobs and adopted sons they put in dresses) who do all your anti-gun leg work for you.
This bill sounds like a good way to start the next civil war.
When Texas joined the union it reserved the right to secede and divide into five states, although some argue that Texas lost that right by joining the confederacy.
Looks like it might be time to revisit that issue.
