The House Judiciary Committee's Assault Weapons Ban Fallout
townhall.com ^ | 9/30/2019 | John R Lott

Posted on 09/30/2019 8:04:59 AM PDT by rktman

If you want to see how extreme the Democrats have gotten on gun control, you just had to listen to a House Judiciary Committee hearing last week.

It is one thing for Democrats such as Beto O'Rourke and Rep. Eric Swalwell (R-CA) to call for confiscating AR-15s and civilian versions of AK-47s. But in the committee hearing this past Wednesday, the loudest applause came when Democratic witnesses called for bans on all or at least the vast majority of guns.

"I believe that any weapon that can be used to hunt individuals should be banned," announced Charlottesville Police Chief RaShall M. Brackney in the hearing. Brackney and other witnesses showed just how far the Democratic Party has gone on gun control in only a few years.

Brackney was given a chance by Congressman Greg Steube (R-FL) to correct the record if she might have misspoken, but she only doubled down. Steube pointed out that any firearm could be used to hunt people down, and Brackney responded by repeating the point. She only clarified that police and the military would still be able to have guns.

Yup. Looney friggin' toons. Any hammer can by used to hunt people down. A little bit more of a mess but doable. Or a pitchfork. Or machete. Or................ We know the drill. NO civilian firearms is the bottom line. Answer---UH, NO!

P.S. Thanks to bobbee frankee for somehow tying Kent State to ARs and AKs. Or something. Nice try 'stretch'.

Does NC have a Red Flag law?
Police Chief RaShall M. Brackney obviously should not have a weapon.

I’d like to see all the laws repealed, all the way back to the National Firearms Act of 1934. None of it is Constitutional in my opinion. Throw it all out. These yahoos have pushed too far, and I think we need to wipe out everything they’ve done.

They understand it very well.

They do *not* believe it is relevant.

They do *not* believe the Constitution is relevant or controlling.

They believe limitations on government power are immoral.

“I believe that any weapon that can be used to hunt individuals should be banned,”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That would be all weapons, including ones that are not firearms.
Crossbows, regular bows, slingshots, baseball bats.

Hi.

From what I have heard, Brackney is a special kind of stupid.

No. Violent totalitarian thugs. They know exactly what they want to do.

They want to impoverish you, enslave you, and kill you.

Plan accordingly.

Even here on FR we have some of those.
Especially the fans of the Cubanadian who want another usurpation.

They understand perfectly. They just don't care.

Don't give them the benefit of the doubt.

They're not "insane".

They're not "stupid".

They're evil.

Your Opinion has nothing to do with it. These Laws are blatantly Unconstitutional, PERIOD. It is not necessary to qualify your Statement.

Hate Crime Laws are blatantly Unconstitutional, but even our GOP Representatives have no problem supporting them.

A police officer is a trained weapon that hunts people daily. This so-called police chief wants to ban all police officers.

One would think a Police Chief wouldn't get so publicly drunk and strung out on street drugs to say something so incredibly stupid.
