And don't rest easy! Once semi-automatics are gone, they'll go for those revolvers, bolt action rifles, slide and lever action long guns, and finally single-shot rifles and derringer pistols. After the guns are all gone they'll go after bows and arrows. These people are never satisfied. Never!Proving once again they're absolutely clueless on firearms, nearly 200 House Democrats have indicated their support for legislation banning all semi-automatic firearms nationwide.
They aren't just talking about the dreaded AR-15 here. Every new Glock, outlawed. My dad's old .22 Browning target pistol, which my 13-year-old insists I leave to him in my will, would be among the last of its kind. And -- try not to think about this too hard, or you'll cry -- the Colt 1911 .45, perhaps the American sidearm, would be no more.
We'll get revolvers and bolt-action rifles and that's about it.
The Assault Weapons Ban of 2019, authored by Rhode Island Democrat David Cicilline, would also ban "high capacity" magazines. Not that we'd have any new semi-automatic firearms to feed them into, anyway. Now that Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas), brother of Democratic presidential candidate Julián Castro, and Rep. Cindy Axne (D-Iowa) are on board, the bill is just 20 votes away from passage through Nancy Pelosi's House.Showing she has absolutely no clue what she's talking about, Florida Democrat Frederica Wilson told The Hill on Wednesday, "Assault weapons were designed for one purpose: to kill people in war. Ordinary citizens should not own or have access to assault weapons." A .22 target pistol is now an "assault weapon." Good to know, Congresscritter!
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) says he's looking at a huge list of possible new restrictions, including the above-mentioned bans on semi-automatics and "high capacity" magazines, along with banning those on the FBI's terrorist watch list from buying guns and nationwide "red flag" legislation.
Remember when Ted Kennedy found himself on the TSA's no-fly list and had trouble getting his name removed, even though he was a United States Senator with a (known) body count of just one? Imagine how well a typical American would fare, trying to get their name removed from the FBI's watch list if it somehow got on there by accident.
