President Biden will find it difficult - if not impossible - to get bipartisan support in Congress for new gun control measures, like a new assault weapons ban, which passed with bipartisan support in 1994 and expired ten years later.

We disagree.
***like a new assault weapons ban***
They banned NOTHING. Manufacturers simply changed the nomenclature of the firearms, removed the flash suppressor, removed the bayonet lug (how many people in the US have been murdered by fixed bayonets since 1900?)and made the folding stock solid.
They also limited magazine rounds to 10 rounds but millions of higher capacity magazines were still in circulation. And if you know where to look you could get a magazine marked “For Police Use Only”.
The government does not have the manpower or money to enforce the laws. Biden said so in 2013.

never tired to convert blanks to live rounds with projectiles.... somebody probably has done it or tired it.
remember ‘way back when’ and the Libs were telling ‘us’ that there was no way that 20 million ILLEGALS could be tracked down and deported so may as well ‘accept’ them?
Then, in the same breath, they suggested going door to door and collecting all weapons....
The ‘scary’ part is that people still listen to these fools and think they make sense....
The left wanted to get a ban in place, no matter the limited term, to begin the process, get Americans used to the concept & reality.
Then the “salami method” takes over and they whittle away the Second Amendment.
They, as usual, underestimated the majority and overplayed their plans.
That hat is so big I could cut it out of my screen and wear it.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why we have a sustained ammunition shortage! I don't argue with anyone's right to buy ammunition (other than the people who attempt to buy up all the ammunition to create an artificial shortage so they can then sell and gain an extortion level profit). However, it is the height of hypocriticy for an ammunition hoarder to complain about the scarcity and high price of ammunition.
Hidenbiden going after an EO means they didn’t have the votes.
Do people still make their own ammo?
Commodities are undergoing an enormous increase in price. Steel, copper, essentially everything. That, coupled with demand has made ammo more expensive.
The article looks like complete BS to me. A few examples from memory:
* The article claims gun owners are 'single issue voters'. If that were true, we would win more elections, like we did in 1994 (when USA Today stated that almost one out of every three voters was a gun owner voting Republican). In fact, too many gun owners are generally asleep at the switch, and don't get off their sorry @sses until the Dems are ready to pass yet ANOTHER ban.
* The polling numbers cited in support of gun control are probably from 'push polls'. Picture questions like, "Would you support a ban on semi-automatic military-style assault weapons, in order to save the lives of thousands of children every year?" Heck, I'll bet half of those supposedly favoring a semi-auto ban, couldn't even define "semi-automatic firearm".
* The article states that 'Mr. Trump radicalized the Republican Party'. In fact, D@mocrats following Alinsky's playbook radicalized politics in this country, and Mr. Trump's nomination was a result of Americans responding to that change, NOT the cause of it.
In all likelihood, the article is intended to keep gun owners sitting on their butts (by suggesting that gun control efforts aren't going anywhere), while simultaneously getting the left-wing coolaide-drinkers united behind the push to ditch the US Senate filibuster, and pass the biggest federal gun ban in US history...
Cowboy mounted shooting plus re-enactors. Blanks are also used to get gundogs and horses used to gunfire.
But for Tom Delay, we might still be living under Clinton’s AWB.
Necessity is the mother of invention.

And we’re still losing despite perhaps being a majority
You eschew violence
Fair enough
At what point would even u be ....at that point?
I just spent a week at PCB
I THINK WERE TOO FAT AND SLOVEN AND STUPID HONESTLY
PASTY BEHEMOTHS COVERED IN TRASHY INK....slurping down big bulls immersed in their phones playing silly games or doing Snapchat or Instagram
I mean some folks have to be stimulated every second awake by action on that device....often stupid pineapple games
that is a huge chunk of white America under 45
We are going to draw a revolutionary army from that ....
“The problem is: Straight partisan victories will be nearly impossible in the Senate as long as the filibuster is in force for non-taxing-and-spending legislation - like new gun laws.
“The filibuster is supposed to encourage bipartisanship - but given the new hyper-partisan reality, what it really encourages is gridlock.”
There it is. Why would The Hill be horrified to print that?
I guess the shell would have the primer in it so adjust the grains and put the lead in the end. Maybe. Lol. Not sure.
I would think maybe now more than ever.. maybe easier to get reload supplies than live ammo.
