Democrats attack from all sides and introduce legislation to come after ‘bulk’ sales of ammo

Once upon a time, Israel did this too—how’d that work out?

Just today I penned a blog on news out of Texas that a Trump-appointed federal judge had issued a nationwide stay on the ATF’s pistol brace ban—but the high was short-lived. Allow me to explain:

In a move that the Democrats and the bureaucratic left clearly would have anticipated, the judge in that case announced that “public safety concerns must be addressed in ways that are lawful.” Gee, what a concept, the federal government (at least somewhat and sometimes) being held to the supreme law of the land too?

So, the Democrats covered those bases too, and instead of trying to legislate through the unconstitutional bureaucracy, they’re going through the branch of government where lawmaking is supposed to take place; eight days ago Elizabeth “Fauxcahontas” Warren, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and California’s Robert Garcia introduced a bill they named the Ammunition Modernization and Monitoring Oversight Act, abbreviated as the AMMO Act. As the press release posted to Garcia’s official website says, the federal law “would restrict bulk sales of ammunition, would require businesses who sell ammunition to obtain the same federal license as gun dealers, and would require businesses to conduct a background check on buyers.” So what classifies as a “bulk” sale? From the text of the bill itself, “more than 1,000 rounds” of almost all calibers in a 5-day time frame—the one exception is .50 BMG, which in that case, 100 rounds meets the “bulk” definition.

Now, once upon a time, Israel enacted ammunition restriction legislation too—but a little over a month ago on October 8th, Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir made an emergency declaration to “allow as many citizens as possible to arm themselves.”

Meanwhile, the fake pResident left 700,000 FULLY automatic
weapons behind in Afghanistan while at the same time, he is trying to prevent Americans from buying SEMI automatic rifles.

Israel has now existed for 75 years. And the parade of politicians sucking up is truly impressive.

Is it b/c opportunistic pols want to make sure Israel remains a welfare client of
the US, and stays subject to political pressure from its benefactor government?

It might be time to consider that possibility.

Israel shouldn’t have to constantly prove it’s a viable nation......not just a welfare case.

I don’t believe that Johnson will allow this bill to even get a vote on the House floor.

>> I would like to think this would never pass. It would not pass....right?

Doubt it would pass the current House, or clear filibuster in the Senate.

But just to be safe, I’m gonna buy a BUNCH more ammo in the calibers I use, before the hoarders clean it all out. ;-)

Democrats need to quit going after the legal gun owners and get tough on crime. Their soft-on-crime policies have made cities dangerous. They babble about gun control which does nothing as criminals don’t obey laws but, in their feeble minds, they believe the public will think they are really concerned about the crime they create.

No, it won’t pass. But it shows you that the Rats want you disarmed and helpless just like the people in the Kibbutzim around Gaza.

Rights are not subject to popular vote. 114 is not in effect because challenges have blocked implementation.

Some laws are made to be broken.

Yeah, I know. I still didn’t expect it to pass. Figured it would ho down 2:1...which is still a sign of the pathetic times in which we live.

They’re all political “furniture”....those who simply shift seats on the deck.
