Blumenthal helps intro #SayNo2MoreAmmo ‘assault magazine’ ban – The “Assault Weapon” Scam is back!!
Twitchy ^ | February 5, 2015 | Twitchy Staff

As Twitchy reported, Republican legislators in Colorado this week introduced several bills intended to repeal restrictive gun control legislation passed in 2013, only to have each bill passed by the Senate and blocked by the House along straight party lines.

Today is #ThrowbackThursday on Twitter, and Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) has also decided to pivot back to 2013, joined by other Connecticut politicians to introduce a new effort to ban high-capacity magazines under the #SayNo2MoreAmmo hashtag campaign.

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal
Joining @SenatorMenendez @ChrisMurphyCT @WhipHoyer @RepDianaDegette @RepTedDeutch @RepEsty @NewtownAction to call for action on gun violence
Jim @Workmatic
@SenBlumenthal you should just ban killings... Oh wait.
Brian Vogel @VogelNation
@SenBlumenthal criminals DO NOT obey laws, which includes magazine limits #GunSense #2ndAmendment #DefendTheSecond
PsychicDogTalk Radio @PyschicDogTalk2
@SenBlumenthal Yes, handicapped old folks with arthritis who have trouble reloading don't have a right to self defense via modern weapons!
R D @RD_MOLONLABE
@RepLoisFrankel will the secret service be doing away with them as well? What about law enforcement?

Good news people! “Assault Weapon” Scam 2.0 is here!!

This time It’s “Assault magazine” Scam [We’re not talking repulsive socialist rags like ‘Mother Jones’ nah]

Nope! these are metal boxes with springs that can “Assault” people.

Someone randomly decided you only ‘need’ 10 rounds… soon to be 5 rounds.. then 3 rounds.. then..

And they also don’t know of the concept of the Tactical reload, OR that with practice someone can swap mags in 1 – 2 seconds whenever they choose to do so..

NOT to mention that Criminals [By Definetion] AREN’T going to bother following another law piled on top of all the other laws…

So, let me get this straight.

Someone pulls out a gun and starts shooting people...which is against the law.

But we need laws to prevent the same killers from carrying higher capacity mags.

Yeah, it’s almost like if they don’t obey the law about killing people, they also won’t obey the law about having ‘high capacity’ (however that is defined by the gun grabbers) magazines.

You can tell they’ve just been itching to have another mass murder happen to they can trot out their emotional appeal to have people to give up their freedom.

You should only be allowed to carry one round at a time for self protection and it can’t be loaded in your gun. We can call this law the Barney Fife Firearms Violence Enabling Act of 2015.

And to think, 53 years ago they “ONLY wanted to register handguns! Long guns will not be affected”.

We see how long that scam lasted!

Single shot eh? When the first anti-semi auto bans were proposed, the Chicago cops raided a drug ring and confiscated lots of guns.
Almost all of those shown on TV were SINGLE SHOT shotguns with their barrels cut way below 18 inches.

Yeah, it’s almost like they don’t have the Balls to come out and say – we want ALL your guns, but like dirty little liars try to grab them a little bit a time.
