Tell me again how they don't want to come for our guns

On March 20, 2018, H.R. 5087, the Assault Weapons Ban of 2018, was referred to the House Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, Homeland Security, and Investigations. Congressman David Cicilline (D-R.I.) introduced the House AWB bill along with 164 original cosponsors, on February 26, 2018. As of Tuesday, March 27, 2018, the bill boasts a total of 174 cosponsors plus Congressman Cicilline. Like Cicilline, the 174 cosponsors are all Democrats.

Concurrently, a Senate version of the AWB, S.2095, introduced by Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), is pending in the Senate Judiciary Committee. As of March 27, Senator Feinstein's AWB bill has 29 cosponsors, all of whom are also Democrats. 

Senator Feinstein's AWB bill would legally define a "semiautomatic assault weapon" as:

A semiautomatic rifle that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and any one of the following:

(i) A pistol grip.
(ii) A forward grip.
(iii) A folding, telescoping, or detachable stock.
(iv) A grenade launcher or rocket launcher.
(v) A barrel shroud.
(vi) A threaded barrel.

The proposed AWB would also make it illegal to manufacture or sell many semiautomatic pistols, semiautomatic shotguns, all shotguns with revolving cylinders, all Kalashnikov or "AK" rifles, various AK pistols, all AR type rifles, and a host of other firearms named in the bill, for private use. 

Furthermore, the bill, like its 1994 predecessor, would also ban all magazines, belts, drums, feed strips, and similar devices that carry more than 10 rounds. It would grandfather existing semiautomatic assault weapons and large-capacity ammunition feeding devices, however with strict regulations as to their storage and transfer. 

It is debated whether the 1994 AWB succeeded in reducing mass shootings for the 10 years that it was in effect, and such a bill, if enacted into law, would constitute a severe infringement on Americans' constitutional right to "keep and bear arms" under the Second Amendment and would lead to more deaths of Americans, not less.

The National Academy of Sciences and the U.S. Centers of Disease Control - anti-gun groups - set out to find the most useful gun-control measures by scrutinizing the world's gun-control laws. Both came to the same conclusion: Not one gun-control measure in the world actually reduced violent crime and murders. The National Academy of Sciences issued a 328-page report entitled Firearms and Violence: A Critical Review on gun-control laws in December 2004, with its findings. And across the world, including in this country, when gun-control laws have been passed, violence of all types has gone up. This has been true even in countries where gun ownership has been largely eliminated, including in England and Australia, where crimes such as robberies, rape, and murder climbed precipitously after guns were taken. Too, passing such feel-good measures would almost assuredly mean that measures that would actually help reduce mass shooters, such as allowing school staff to be armed, would likely not be passed, leaving students and others in virtual shooting galleries.

Recognizing the dangers an AWB poses to the Constitution and the adverse affects the bill would have in likely facilitating more of the very types of mass shootings that the bill's proponents seek to prevent, please contact Congress as requested below.

Phone your representative / s (See; http://clerk.house.gov/member_info/mcapdir.aspx) and your two senators (See; https://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm) and ask them to stand for the Second Amendment by opposing the passage of the Assault Weapons Ban, both H.R. 5087 and S.2095, as well as any other related bills banning any firearms deemed as "assault weapons."

Here is a sample of an e-mail or letter we need to send to our Representatives in Congress. If we could get 50-60 people to write an actual letter, it would convince them not to mess with our Rights.

 

Phone your congressional representatives (See; http://clerk.house.gov/member_info/mcapdir.aspx) 

and your two senators (See; https://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm) 

This must be done sooner rather than later if we want to stop them from stripping our rights away from us. Do it today!

 

To; Senator,------   OR, Alternately, To; Representative ------

On March 20, 2018, H.R. 5087, the Assault Weapons Ban of 2018, was referred to the House Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, Homeland Security, and Investigations. As of March 27, this bill has 174 cosponsors. Concurrently, a Senate version of the AWB, S.2095, introduced by Senator Dianne Feinstein, is pending in the Senate Judiciary Committee. As of March 27, it has 29 cosponsors.

Please oppose and vote NO against the passage of the Assault Weapons Ban, H.R. 5087 in the House and S.2095 in the Senate.

The proposed AWB would also make it illegal to manufacture or sell many semiautomatic rifles, pistols, shotguns, all shotguns with revolving cylinders, all Kalashnikov or "AK" rifles, various AK pistols, all AR type rifles, and a host of other firearms named in the bill, for private use.

Furthermore, the bill would also ban all magazines, belts, drums, feed strips, and similar devices that carry more than 10 rounds. It would grandfather existing semiautomatic assault weapons and large-capacity ammunition feeding devices, however with strict regulations as to their storage and transfer.

If enacted into law, the AWB would constitute a severe infringement on our and other Americans' right to "keep and bear Arms," as secured by the Second Amendment. It's way too broad in Scope.

Again, I implore you to stand for the Second Amendment by opposing the passage of both H.R. 5087 and S. 2095.

In regards to Feinstein's weapons ban bill;

 

When you support this bill, you ignore your sworn oath to defend the Constitution as written not as you want it written.You ignore the will of the vast majority of VOTERS, to pander to the vocal minority of VOTERS. If you pursue this issue and vote for it, we will be coming for you in your next election to remove you from Congress. We are sick and tired of the Progressive nonsense being spouted by the Democratic Party Gun Grabbers. In the last ten years, the Democratic Party seems to have had a massive brain malfunction, and, they have forgotten we are supposed to be a Constitutional Republic with Democratic principles, constrained by the written Constitution. If you want to ban guns in civilian hands do it by the Constitutionally provided method. Try and Repeal the 2nd Amendment if you can, then ban them. NOT BEFORE.

In Closing;

By Sponsoring or Co-Sponsoring this Legislation, you will have betrayed our trust. Should you pursue it and enact it, WE will come for you on your next election and remove you from office. Please don't take this as a Threat. It is NOT a Threat. It is what we WILL DO.

The Nanny Govt. led by the Progressive Socialist Democrats have systematically broken the 2nd Amendment for more than just guns. The Amendment states the RIGHT of the people to bear arms does not just mean firearms, it also includes every other type of weapon like a billy club, a stun gun, a knife,etc.

 

Yes a knife, and the knife laws are just as illegal as the gun laws.. the 2nd Amendment says “The right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed” and any law that restricts that right or requires registration or a permission slip is a violation of our rights as protected under the 2nd Amendment. Laws meting out punishment for using weapons in a crime are constitutional, laws restricting ownership or the right to carry are not.

The real problem is the multitude of differing local and State Laws on the books about every conceivable weapon in existence. A person could be committing a felony just going to the next city to shop for groceries while carrying a knife either openly or concealed even pen knives come under that rule in some of the Bluest States controlled by Anti-Everything unless it's for my friends mentality politicians. In short the Bloomberg Principle.
