"No one wants to take your guns"
Posted: Sun Mar 04, 2018 1:27 pm
Never believe this lie when you hear it coming from the left. When they say "no one wants to take your guns," they are saying "we would love to take your guns if given half a chance. We would love nothing more than to pass a law that would instantly turn 150 million gun-owing Americans into felons if we could."
The new law put forward by House Democrats (with over 150 sponsors) would pretty much ban almost all semi-automatic rifles and hand guns. This is a full frontal assault on the Constitution, but notice how they don't even care about that.
Liberal logic: "There's no practical way way to deport 11 million illegal aliens." (next breath) "We can confiscate over 300 million firearms in America."

House Democrats introduce bill prohibiting sale of semi-automatic weapons

House Democrats have introduced a bill banning some semi-automatic firearms in the wake of the Feb. 14 shooting at a high school in Parkland, Fla.
Rep. David Cicilline, D-R.I., announced Monday he is introducing the Assault Weapons Ban of 2018. More than 150 Democrats have signed on in support of the legislation, Rep. Ted Deutch, D-Fla., said.
"Today I joined @RepCicilline and 150+ of my colleagues to introduce the assault weapons ban. It’s time for Congress to listen to the will of a majority of Americans and pass sensible legislation to get these weapons of war off our streets. #NeverAgain #MSDStrong," Deutch tweeted.
The bill prohibits the “sale, transfer, production, and importation” of semi-automatic rifles and pistols that can hold a detachable magazine, as well as semi-automatic rifles with a magazine that can hold more than 10 rounds. Additionally, the legislation bans the sale, transfer, production, and importation of semi-automatic shotguns with features such as a pistol grip or detachable stock, and ammunition feeding devices that can hold more than 10 rounds.
Cicilline’s legislation names 205 specific firearms that are prohibited, including the AK-47 and AR-15.
“Assault weapons were made for one purpose,” Cicilline said in a statement. “They are designed to kill as many people as possible in a short amount of time. They do not belong in our communities.”
Deutch vowed during a CNN town hall last week to introduce a bill banning semi-automatic weapons.
The town hall featured students, teachers, and parents from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, and occurred one week after a gunman opened fire there.
Seventeen were killed and several were injured in the shooting.
Police said the shooter used an AR-15, and the incident has reignited the debate over stricter gun laws, including whether a ban on semi-automatic weapons is needed.
