House Dems propose bills to stop online ammo sales, ban mags

House Democrats have introduced a number of new gun control measures in the wake of a deadly mass shooting in Las Vegas.

Among the proposals are HR.3962 to ban online ammunition sales, H.R. 4025 requiring gun dealers to report the sale of two or more rifles to the same person in a five-day period, and HR. 4052, which would ban magazines able to hold greater than 10 rounds.

“Several of my colleagues and I have introduced commonsense legislation that, if enacted, would reduce gun violence and the tragic impact it has on our communities,” said U.S. Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, the New Jersey Democrat sponsoring the Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act.

Coleman’s proposal is much like a state law approved last year by voters in California in the respect that it would require federally licensed ammo dealers to directly confirm the identity of those buying ammo over the Internet by verifying a photo I.D. in-person. Also, the measure would require the vendor to report any individual sales of more than 1,000 rounds in a five-day period to the U.S. Attorney General. Garnering 29 co-sponsors, all Democrat, the measure has been referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.

Gun reporting

The Multiple Firearm Sales Reporting Modernization Act, sponsored by U.S. Rep. Norma Torres, D-Calf., would require FFLs to report the sale of two or more long guns to the same buyer within a five-day period to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.

Currently, dealers must report multiple handgun sales while a 2011 rule that requires only dealers in Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas report multiple rifle sales. Under the new proposal, it would be the law of the land.

“This bill is a long-overdue update,” said Torres. “Our law enforcement agencies need to know if anyone is stocking up on AR-15s and AK-47s.”

The measure, referred to the Judiciary Committee, has three co-sponsors including Nevada Democrat Dina Titus, whose district includes Las Vegas.

Magazine restrictions

Billed as the Keep Americans Safe Act, Connecticut’s Elizabeth Etsy would ban detachable magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds. Backed by several gun control groups including the Brady Campaign and the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, Esty contends it is needed for public safety.

“There is simply no good reason why sportsmen and women need more than 10 rounds in a magazine,” said Esty in a statement. “No sportsman or woman needs 30 rounds to kill a deer. It’s shameful that we protect our deer better than we protect our people.”

Referred to the Judiciary committee, Esty’s bill has 85 partisan supporters including virtually Nevada’s entire delegation to the House apart from U.S. Rep. Mark Amodei, a Republican whose district hails from the more conservative Northern part of the state including Reno and Carson City.

The bills join measures to ban bump stocks and other devices that can accelerate a gun’s rate of fire, mandates for smart gun use, expanded background check proposals and efforts to increase federal funding for gun crime research, all introduced in the past two weeks.

I dont think they dress the kills in Baltimore and St Louis. I think most of them are mostly dressed already.

If we had to actually explain to these fools the intent of the second amendment—to protect us from THEM, we would be thrown in jail.

No one is going to collect 300 million rifles and guns in this country. They could outlaw them. But they are not going to collect them.

Learn to make your own ammo. Track that Nancy...

I can assure everyone that the fascist deep state politicians are scared sh*tless of armed Americans. That’s true times two for the leftist bimbos married to those politicians.

Right - but how many people own one? These Demo-rats are talking hunting deer with assault rifles. Now how dumb is that thinking. Oh, wait .... never mind.

They’re also calling them high powered - when most of what they’re calling ‘assault rifles’ are legally barred from being used for hunting deer in many states... because they’re not powerful enough to humanely take deer.

If the Republicans had any sense of testicular fortitude, they'd call a press conference and say:

"Democrats are clearly pro-misogyny in that they are wasting time on ammunition while sexual predators roam Hollywood. Even Hillary Clinton acknowledged that the Oval Office has seen a sexual predator - her husband. The Republican leadership asks the Democrats to reject their harboring of anti-woman fundraisers, and not waste time on gun legislation, and join us as we announce the start of hearings on this poisonous atmosphere in Hollywood, with an eye toward regulating studios and actors and actresses as a public good."

Close to 600 killed or wounded and the communists in “Congress” are using this incident to try and disarm their political opposition.

LOL

Good luck with that scumbags.

I’m willing to meet them halfway.

Let them have any gun restrictions they want, but they may only be applied to Democrats.

The firearms training and safety classes, hunting clubs, competitive shooting, marksmanship, and ROTC classes got dumped along with other practical classes like auto shop, wood shop, metals shop, home RC, and the like. I guess to make room for gender bending indoctrination, political correctedness training, and paganism.
