Abigail Spanberger ran for governor of Virginia as a sane, middle-of-the-road Democrat, but once elected immediately went communist crazy. Among her rapidly developing acts of comradely solidarity is an “assault weapon” and magazine capacity ban.
There is, of course, no such thing in firearm nomenclature as an “assault weapon.” There are military assault rifles, which fire intermediate cartridges and have select fire—automatic—capability, but such rifles are essentially banned by federal law. What Spanberger is targeting is America’s most popular rifle, the semiautomatic AR-15 and anything like it. The bill also bans magazines of greater than 15 round capacity, which encompasses many standard magazines.
The law is, on its face, blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court’s Heller and Bruen decisions make clear bans on firearms in common use are unconstitutional. There is every reason to believe arbitrary bans on magazine capacity are also constitutionally out of bounds.
But virtually no other blue state exceeds Minnesota where legislative craziness, and rampant fraud, is concerned. In Bananas, Woody Allen’s Latin American dictator seized power and immediately went crazy. In a classic scene, he ordered the people to change their underwear every half hour and wear it on the outside “so we can check.”
Where guns are concerned, Minnesota is easily as deranged, as George Washington Law Professor Jonathan Turley reports:

Look closely at Spanberger’s eyes. Her soul is dead.
Are you serious? Do your carry a receipt for every object on your person? Can you prove ownership of your pants, shoes, socks, underwear, pocket knife and firearm at any time of day? That is ridiculous. The firearms receipts created by the FFL are often printed on flimsy paper that discolors quickly.
Maybe is is just proof of not being under disability to possess a firearm. That would be a felony/Probabtion marker check. That would be better since we often carry our husbands and wives equipment.
Should this affront to liberty pass in Minnesota and of course be signed gleefully by Governor Tampon Tim Walz, how many Minnesotans will go happily to their local police station to register their guns? I expect mass resistance and large numbers of Minnesotans will simply ignore this edict or if asked will claim their firearms were lost in a tragic boating accident. Then what? How many LEOs will be sent knocking on doors looking for guns without warrants or probable cause and how many officers would willingly do this? Certainly there are plenty of “Karen’s” who would snitch on their neighbors, but how would law enforcement agencies react? This garbage is clearly unconstitutional, but the taxpayers of Minnesota will be stuck with the legal fees for court appeals until this legislation is finally struck down as unconstitutional.
Most gun parts can be made easily.
The barrels are more difficult to make, that is why factory-made barrels are made and sold.
It is possible to make low-quality (submachine gun grade) barrels fairly rapidly.
Some advanced Russian weapons are usually made from consumer items.
Many states do not require a FFL to transfer private party firearms person-to-person. I don’t know how many I acquired this way....oh, wait. Now I remember.....Zer0.
A person in the USA can buy all of the parts to make several types of guns except for the lower receiver. There are 80% finished lower receivers that can be bought and finished with a router, a drill, and template jigs. I have heard that it is not difficult, though I certainly would not know for certain.

If you buy a gun, expect to have to cough it up or suffer severe consequences, such as loss of Social Security and Medicare benefits.

We don’t keep a record of buyers!
But every database we use keeps track of requests. If X databases get searched in a row, then that can mean only one thing.
That is why I proposed a Const amendment. Times have changed. It not safe for law enforcement to encounter people on the street any more.
it’s from all the Abwehr and Gestapo taint they smeared all over themselves [Paperclip] after the war...
“What is needed is to make “stop and frisk” Constitutionally approved and if a weapon is found proof of ownership required.”
Replace weapon with pretty much anything and you’ll be regularly relieved of anything valuable and have to spend a large portion of the value fighting to get it back. They’re only just these past few years getting rid of these unlawful seizures.
Court is a revolving door for criminals because the penalties are either non existent or not enforced. Never let politicians erode rights in leu of killing, exiling or lengthily incarcerating criminals...
What they’re salivating over is the idea of packing the SC until it can’t disempower them any more.
Yes I know. They are trying to do what the 2A was meant to stop.
Most of us knew she was/is a hard core communist

Allen W. Dulles, who became, as I recall, the second, and perhaps the most influential director of the CIA, was an admirer of Woodrow Wilson. In other words, he was a doctrinaire Progressive.

Nixon was also an admirer of Wilson, wasn’t he?
Yes sir, A.F. Dulles was an insidious poison injected into the American body politic. As controversial as J. Edgar may have been at the FBI, IMHO, Dulles’ lower public profile made him the more dangerous and destructive of the two.
