Honestly, who wrote this? Yeah, I know its from Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), but who on this staff wrote this rather great piece of comedy regarding military-style rifles. He wants to ban them, buy them back, and prosecute anyone who doesnt abide by his proposed law (via USA Today):
Reinstating the federal assault weapons ban that was in effect from 1994 to 2004 would prohibit manufacture and sales, but it would not affect weapons already possessed. This would leave millions of assault weapons in our communities for decades to come.
Instead, we should ban possession of military-style semiautomatic assault weapons, we should buy back such weapons from all who choose to abide by the law, and we should criminally prosecute any who choose to defy it by keeping their weapons. The ban would not apply to law enforcement agencies or shooting clubs.

As I’ve said, the Crazies are fighting the Insanes for control of the Democrat party and the Crazies (bless their hearts) are winning!
Swallwell is one of the more aggressive of the dictatorial based Democrat/Socialists I’ve ever encountered. He obviously has no consideration of the constitution in his purview.
Come and take them, drive carefully.
Come and take them, drive carefully.
The 2nd Amendment was written precisely to address any future event in which a tyrannical moron such as this ever came into some position of power.
Dream on. There are well over 5 million AR-15s alone in private hands. It is Americas most popular rifle. You can fantasize about a ban but that ship has long since sailed.
IMO, something like this has to finally happen to wake this electorate out of its fat and lazy stupor.
Maybe trump finally getting thrown out of office or these whacko lefty assholes getting too full of themselves and finally coming after our guns will be what finally gets this ball rolling. One can hope.......
Honestly, democrats want to destroy the Constitution. They just won't admit it.
Molon labe, bitches.

Nunn v. State, 1 Ga. (1 Kel.)

.
“’The right of the people to bear arms shall not be infringed.’ The right of the whole
people, old and young, men, women and boys, and not militia only, to keep and bear
arms of every description, and not such merely as are used by the militia, shall not be
infringed, curtailed, or broken in upon, in the smallest degree; and all this for the
important end to be attained: the rearing up and qualifying a well-regulated militia, so
vitally necessary to the security of a free State.”
Eliminating the welfare programs which facilitate single moms raising generations of fatherless boys in poverty would probably eliminate about 80% of the homicide rate.
Lots of ways to accomplish that over time.
Offer wives thinking of divorce a bounty to let cops seize hubby's guns while he's at work, then arrest him as he arrives home. Offer kids a bounty to turn in their parents next time they're mad at them(or a get out of jail option the next time they're arrested for drugs or driving drunk) . If there's ever a fire at your place, and somebody finds a gun in the burnt house afterwards, you are arrested.
Under the much ballyhooed Australia gun ban, only about 20% were turned in. And you're right. With an 80% non-compliance, the Dems would turn millions of innocent people into criminals overnight just by decree.
Terrific, we finally get to use our second amendment.
Incoming state level GVRO laws aka Red Flag are intended to do exactly that. Angry spouse or liberal neighbor whines to nearest po-po, “He threatened me, he has guns, and I’m afraid for my life”.
Po-po goes to (liberal) judge, a GVRO is issued, and with no notice or input from said gun owner, the po-po show up at his doorstep & it’s over. Forget about ever getting them back.
I hope your angle about po-po offering bounties to denounce gun owners doesn’t become law. But it could. Scary.
Then well be completely safe to oppress whoever we want!
funny, that’s what people in NY said- yet noone went after those that outlawed their guns/ammo magazines etc-
