Bill requires background checks for high-cap mags, assault weapons

In an effort to “stop mass killings by violent terrorists,” Texas Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee proposed a bill that would require patrons undergo a criminal background check before obtaining “a large capacity ammunition feeding device” or a “semiautomatic assault weapon.”

According to the bill, the measure would amend federal law to prohibit the transfer “until the Attorney General has verified that the prospective transferee has truthfully answered questions about whether the prospective transferee has been contacted recently by Federal law enforcement authorities.

"In an effort to “stop mass killings by violent terrorists,”" I think she meant "stop mass killings by violent AR-15'" But, sjl so draw you own conclusions. Say, who's the guy in the hat and robe anyway?

Texas Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee

Blathering heap of brain damage.

Is she still looking for the flags the astronauts planted on Mars?

She is so stupid that upon the viewing on the Martian land rover, she personally called Nasa to order them to move the lander camera to the American flag planted by Niel Armstrong. Check it out.

” “until the Attorney General has verified that the prospective transferee has truthfully answered questions”

which would be never under obama or hilary admin. They would claim the AG is focused on more pressing issues and will get to the verification when time permits....

In Canada they just drill a hole and set a rivet so you can only put 5 rounds in the mag

The most dangerous place in Houston is being between Sheila Jackson Lee and a Channel 13 TV camera.

“she personally called Nasa to order them to move the lander camera to the American flag planted by Niel Armstrong. Check it out.”


During a 1997 visit to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, Jackson Lee, who was then serving on the House Science Committee and on the Subcommittee that oversees U.S. space policy, asked a guide whether the Mars Pathfinder would be able to show an image of “the flag the astronauts planted there before.” When it was subsequently pointed out that the flag to which she was referring was in fact the one that Neil Armstrong had planted on the Moon—not Mars—in 1969, Jackson Lee complained that she was being mocked by bigots. “You thought you could have fun with a black woman member of the Science Committee,” her then-chief-of-staff wrote angrily in a letter to the editor.

and the problem is you and the other law abiding citizens of MA are the only ones that will follow that law. That is the crazy thing about all of these laws, the libs and dems somehow think an islamic terrorist or person intent on mass killing will follow that law. The other problem with these proposed “assault weapons” bans; it is relatively easy to modify hand guns, rifles, magazines, etc into anything you want. A law will not stop that.

Intelligence tests for Congress should be attached to that bill.

They should have told her that they couldn't do that because it would cause the planet to tip over and capsize.

So....every owner of a semi-automatic rifle is by definition a terrorist? Is every owner of a car guilty of killing someone while DUI?

That is the limit for center-fire semi-auto rifles.

For pistols it is ten. However, it is legal to put 13 9mm in a .40 magazine. Go figure.

Yeah, and one of the background questions will be, “What year did the Apollo astronauts land on Mars?”
