The guy who coined the term "assualt weapon", Josh Sugarmann of the "Violence Policy Center" did the left a solid by coming up with the catchy term that actually has no meaning.

This time around, the Dems are once again shooting themselves in the foot by pandering to the AWFULs (Affluent White Female Urban Liberals), and hoping that gun owners won't notice.

This is dumb. It's hard to get gun owners to vote sometimes, but when we perceive that our rights are under active threat, we become the most motivated of voters.

[Salvavida]

Not if they count the votes.

[gov_bean_ counter]

But assault abortions are ok…

[Noumenon]

I hate these monsters with a radiant, sun-hot passion.

“... the Dems are once again shooting themselves in the foot by pandering to the AWFULs (Affluent White Female Urban Liberals)...”

Oh, I like it (”AWFULs). You didn’t copyright it, did you?

[metmom]

If only…..

[antidemoncrat]

The Democrats are finally coming out of the woodwork and saying an assault weapon is any semi-automatic weapon and should be banned. This first. Then any weapon that holds six rounds and then any shot gun that holds more the 2 rounds should be banned. Then the rest will be confiscated.

"... May Cost Democrats This Fall"

Probably have to wait and see what the Soros & Bezos response is...
Until we actually see how all those votes already counted & stored in the church, school, and liquor store basements turn out at 4 AM on November 7th...

....”....a more general definition of prohibited rifles, which hinged on the presence or absence of five features: a folding or telescoping stock, a pistol grip, a bayonet mount, a grenade launcher, or a “flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor.” ...”

In addition, these assault weapons of war [sic] are most often painted black..! they have those detachable clips things [sic] that hold lotsa and lotsa bullets [sic] and them things was what we used in the VeetNam war, right, and the AR stands for ASSAULT RIFLE!! and they are just SCARY LOOKING, so logically, they need to be banned...!!

(P.S., sh*theads, you can take my beloved AR-15 out of my cold dead hands..... as we say here in The Lone Star State, MOLON LABE - “Come and take it”.....!!)

Communist Chinese wanting our land

OBiden bringing in Taliban, Ukrainian, and other military aged men, and permitting cartels to seize blocks of our border and urban areas. Prisons emptied into the US, and people with diseases.

The gov’t wants and legislated that citizens disarm.

I take it the Congress thinks they and their families will escape. They’re wrong.

[cranked]

This will have no impact on them rolling street ballot drop boxes, nor will it effect the UPS’s ability to carry bags upon bags of forged and fake ballots across state line after midnight, etc.

The fix is in.

[Salman]

The previous "normal" concept of winning or losing elections perhaps no longer applies?

At any rate the Dems are acting like that's the case.

[Howie66]

I sure as hell hope that it costs KEVIN McCARTHY his seat as well. That worthless little twerp couldn’t manage to reign in TWO FOOKIN’ RINOs from voting FOR this UNCONSTITUTIONAL POS!

We cannot afford to see KEVIN McCARTHY become HOUSE SPEAKER if we actually have something close to “FREE, OPEN and HONEST” Elections this November. And there is no guarantee of that happening.

[piytar]

Who are the two turncoat Republicans? (Probably already listed down thread.)

[Chad C. Mulligan]

The guy who coined the term "assualt weapon", Josh Sugarmann of the "Violence Policy Center" did the left a solid by coming up with the catchy term that actually has no meaning.

He didn't even invent it - he just translated the German word sturmgewehr

It's hard to get gun owners to vote sometimes, but when we perceive that our rights are under active threat, we become the most motivated of voters.

This November every legal gun owner in America should be at the polls on election day with four friends and every voting age member of their family. Every eligible voter should be voting against the Reps who voted yes on this bill.

How each representative voted is Here. If your representative is a Democrat you can save yourself some time, nearly all of them voted to take away your rights.

For those of us in New Hampshire both Kuster and Pappas voted against our 2nd amendment rights and they voted to destroy the jobs of hundreds of New Hampshire workers who depend on Ruger and Sig Sauer for their income. And that's not counting all the subcontractors, machine shops, and other businesses that depend on work from Ruger and Sig Sauer.

Talk to a friend, talk to your neighbors, volunteer to work as a poll watcher, and vote in November.

“The Dubious and Doomed ‘Assault Weapon’ Ban That the House Approved Today May Cost Democrats This Fall”
If this headline was written in the United States, it should read:
“The unconstitutional scary rifle ban that the House approved today should cost democrats everything this Fall”

[firebrand]

but when we perceive that our rights are under active threat, we become the most motivated of voters.

No weapon forged against us shall prosper, as someone once said in a different context.

[Luke21]

Nobody ever talks about gun grabber Mark Kelly in Arizona. He gets a free ride.

[Paal Gulli]

"Assault weapon" is a redundancy because all weapons are made for assaulting. Bows & arrows, daggers, tomahawks, fish-knockers, brass knuckles, ... all assault weapons.

And these doofuses are too bog-ignorant of how firearms work (and in particular what makes them dangerous) to write effective law, witness all the AR-15s on the market (as well as those currently sold in Kommieforia) with little more than cosmetic changes to skirt the law. And that's just a small sample. Franklin Armory, the eternal bane of the gun-grabbers, even makes an AR that isn't semi-auto!

There's no law they can write that can't be skirted, mostly because all they know about guns is that they're afraid of them.

[Celerity]

A lot of these right-wing journalists and commentators are smart folks.

Why do they, we and even those on this site, think that elections matter ?

They haven’t. And not in 2020. No, No democrat wins re-election without cheating.

It doesn’t matter if the people hate them or not. Pelosi has been a representative for CENTURIES and she will never lose - no matter how bad it gets.

Even Lori Lightfoot for god’s sake. She’s like a damned tick. All of the democrats are.

This is not about voting anymore. Hasn’t been for a long, long time.
