52 senators warn of sweeping ammo bans, say Second Amendment 'at risk'

Now you know why the government bought all that ammo.

[servantboy777]

There are billions of rounds of the most popular ammo round the world. 7.62 x 39, x 54, .223/5.56, 9mm, .45acp, .308

Even if the idiot in the white hut attempts an ammo ban, there will rise a huge black market through Messy-co. Prices will skyrocket, but the ammo will still flow.

[Old Sarge]

Remember how Obola promised Sarah Brady “we’re doing gun control under the radar”?

And yes, the Senators are warming up to it - because there’s not going to be a vote that they get tied to.

[nothingnew]

At least that’s what the Republicans told us when they wanted our votes to “take control” of the congress.

Well,the pubs are just the other side of THE UNIPARTY.

“Pens without ink are useless.
Cars without gas are useless.
Printers without paper are useless.
Lights without electricity are useless.”

Politicians without morals are useless.

[Vaduz]

Obama likes the way Hitler and Marx operated.

[JimRed]

...because it pierces police body armor.

So does an ice pick.

...there will rise a huge black market through Messy-co. Prices will skyrocket, but the ammo will still flow.

Bureaucrats at the order-giving level may start dropping like flies from "accidents" when it comes to that. Or maybe just disappearing.

[servantboy777]

Well not sure bout all that, but folks will get the ammo they need. Americans are a pretty resourceful bunch.

[M Kehoe]

A majority in both the Senate and House — 52 senators, 238 House members

Would those 52 senators, 238 House members advocate shooting those who would enforce that law/regulation?

No?

Piss down my back and tell me it's raining...

I contacted my idiot congress creature about this and he is a part of the “Republican leadership” and his response was there will be no gun control legislation that gets through congress this year. I replied you half wit obama is doing it through regulation and executive orders with the ATF. Are you going to do anything or wait for the birds to come and cover you with leaves??? No response.

The Repussicrats will do nothing. The NRA and GOA will remember this I’m sure.

[TYVets]

He never heard of 0bama's executive orders?

He must live on the back side of the moon.

Your self control is better than mine.

Only 2 Senate Republicans did not sign the Letter.

Grassley in IA and Kirk in IL. Even the RINO GOP Senators signed this letter.

Now the question, which ComDem Senators would vote to defend the 2nd Amendment? Somewhat fateful question for our nation.

[Texas Fossil]

My mistake, took data from article. Looks like Grassley (leading group) did vote for it.

I pulled my list from the text of the article.

But Kirk in IL was not listed.

[marktwain]

It is not an illusion at the state level and below.l

[cableguymn]

you sure make one hell of an assumption that I am NOT doing anything.

[hattend]

...sent a letter of opposition to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives,

Whew, they DID send a letter. I was worried. /s

The headlines makes it sound like these Senators amd House members are outside looking in. Don't they CREATE the laws?

[Alas Babylon!]

Well, looks like the opposition to the proposed ban actually worked:

ATF: Notice to those Commenting on the AP Ammo Exemption Framework(Suspends their M855 Ban)

[Starboard]

My post was directed at Republicans in congress, not you. Sorry if my wording was awkward or confusing. I didn’t intend to assume anything about you.

I’ll be more clear next time. ;)

Regards.
