survivalshop Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 Another weapons ban for the frakenstine ! On Wednesday, Senator Dianne Feinstein introduced S. 2095, which she is calling the Assault Weapons Ban of 2017. The 125-page firearm prohibition fever dream is perhaps the most far-reaching gun ban ever introduced in Congress. Subject to an exception for “grandfathered” firearms, the bill would prohibit AR-15s and dozens of other semi-automatic rifles by name (as well as their “variants” or “altered facsimiles”), and any semi-automatic rifle that could accept a detachable magazine and be equipped with a pistol grip, an adjustable or detachable stock, or a barrel shroud. And that’s just a partial list. “Pistol grip” would be defined as “a grip, a thumbhole stock, or any other characteristic that can function as a grip,” meaning the ban could implicate even traditional stocks or grips specifically designed to comply with existing state “assault weapon” laws. Needless to say, semi-automatic shotguns and handguns would get similar treatment. Also banned would be any magazine with a capacity of greater than 10 rounds or even any magazine that could be “readily restored, changed, or converted to accept” more than 10 rounds. While Feinstein’s bill would graciously allow those who lawfully owned the newly-banned guns at the time of the law’s enactment to keep them, it would impose strict storage requirements any time the firearm was not actually in the owner’s hands or within arm’s reach. Violations would be punishable (of course) by imprisonment. Owners of grandfathered “assault weapons” could also go to prison for allowing someone else to borrow or buy the firearm, unless the transfer was processed through a licensed firearms dealer. The dealer would be required to document the transaction and run a background check on the recipient. Should lawful owners of the newly-banned firearms and magazines decide that the legal hazards of keeping them were too much, the bill would authorize the use of taxpayer dollars in the form of federal grants to establish programs to provide “compensation” for their surrender to the government. This bill is nothing more than a rehash of Feinstein’s failed experiment in banning “assault weapons” and magazines over 10 rounds. Except this time, Feinstein would like to go even further in restricting law-abiding Americans’ access to firearms and magazines that are commonly owned for lawful self-defense. The congressionally-mandated study of the federal “assault weapon ban” of 1994-2004 found that the ban had little, if any, impact on crime, in part because “the banned guns were never used in more than a modest fraction” of firearm related crime. Don’t let Dianne Feinstein infringe on our Second Amendment rights with a policy that’s been proven to do nothing to stop crime.

Let's try and find some Germans that were at Normandy, and ask them if they thought the Garand was an assault rifle. Screw Feinstein and all of the others on the hill like her. It never ceases to amaze me how people that no NOTHING about weapons, are the ones that try to make up the rules. Fukin retard politicians.

DNP Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 That's just how it works man...nothing is scarier than something you don't understand. When all you know about something is what your imagination can dream up and what you've seen in the movies...I'm sure you can come up with some pretty terrifying things. Top it off with the fact that they don't really care and they're just playing the politician role...they'll never get it, and they don't really care if they do.

Happened to tune into "Parts Unknown" With Anthony Bourdain in New Mexico the other night. He goes out with some guys and an AR15 and a few other firearms into the desert. Interesting his comments as someone who is not that familiar with firearms. Says something to the effect of: "Some of the strongly anti-gun people I know should come out here with you guys". Keep this in mind, however; IF the Democrats dropped their stance on Black Rifles and firearms in general, they would probably be in control of the White House , the Senate, and Congress right now. Only reason we have a Republican up here right now is the Democrats anti gun platform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mineralman55 Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 Bourdain is a POS. He's just another elitist commie bastard. Some of the things he's said threatening Pres. Trump should have landed him in jail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue109 Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 And conversely. ..only reason there isnt stronger gun laws since 2012 is because of Obama. The republicans HAD to oppose him every step or risk loosing votes. They dont actually care about our rights for the most part. If we had a punk republican in office like McCain or Romney I guarantee we would be knee deep into another federal ban of some degree. they would sell it sugar coated like they were doing us a favor like NRA and Regan "we made this tiny compromise because it would be worse if we didnt...we did it to protect your rights" I voted for trump because he is not one of them (at least not yet) he doesnt play the game. He opens his big mouth and fires and worries about tomorrow, tomorrow. Hope he can maintain that. His comment on the texas church shooting was PERFECT. no other major politician would have stood up there and blasted that one back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 ^^^ This, right here. If we don't get these career politicians OUT, and get fresh meat in charge, that isn't corrupted, we'll have a gun ban again some day. I'm just glad I'm sitting on a solid, solid stack of bolt action rifles, as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Speaking of that. I need to find a good Remington 700 Long Action magazine conversion... I can't own a bolt gun that doesn't take magazines... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COBrien Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 Another interesting observation... The Ruger Mini-14 is specifically exempted from this bill, so long as it does not have a folding/telescoping stock or pistol grip. However, the Mini-14 Tactical does have a threaded barrel. So, would a Mini-14 Tactical, in a "traditional" synthetic stock, with a threaded barrel be a "semiautomatic assault weapon'? It's specifically excluded... The term ‘semiautomatic assault weapon’ means any of the following, regardless of country of manufacture or caliber of ammunition accepted: (A) A semiautomatic rifle that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and any 1 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.

mrmackc Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 Does the folding stock with pistol grip have to be attached? Also I understand firearms already owned are grandfathered and will remain legal to the present owners. These stupid laws only pose a problem to the liberals that don't have a clue how to build something more deadly than a firearm. Look at what terrorists can do with a IED, a Home Depot rental truck, a pressure cooker. Or a roll of baling wire. or a thousand other items. Throw Feinstine under a dump truck!

FreQRiDeR Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 I read this and the purpose of this bill, quoted from the first paragraph, "is to ensure that the right of the people to bear arms does not go unchecked". Umm, what ever happened to "shall not be infringed". ??? This bill is inherently unconstitutional. Dismissed.Case closed. Next! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
