Pelosi Says House to Consider Assault Weapons Ban Soon
NEWSMAX ^ | 6/1/22 | Luca Cacciatore

Posted on 06/01/2022 9:12:42 PM PDT by Blood of Tyrants

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told a crowd Wednesday in her hometown of San Francisco that the lower chamber will propose legislation banning so-called assault weapons in the coming weeks, The Hill reported.

Speaking at an event regarding gun violence prevention, Pelosi, D-Calif., said a bill tackling certain types of rifles would come after the House considers red flag laws — measures designed to keep weapons from potentially violent people.

On Thursday, the House Judiciary Committee is also preparing to field a slate of anti-gun bills. Among them are proposals to prohibit high-capacity magazines and raise the minimum purchasing age for certain rifles.

Typical Soviet tactic, make the others look militarist, while you make yourself look on the civilian police side of things.

It is a declaration of war, a militarization of society, much like Putin sending hypocritically riot cops amongst tanks in Kiev. Same people, same legal hypocrite procedure of blood thirsty warmongers.

In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the authority given believers in Mt 16:10, 18:18 and Luke 10:19, we now bind the strongman (Luke 11:20) over all plans and entities which are attempting to push through the US Senate and Congress an AWB ban.

We loose, in Jesus’ Name, the warrior spirits and holy angels to attack, pull down, and destroy the evil spirit powers feeding and abetting these actions.

We loose upon them confusion and destruction - send to them please - the spirits of dumbness, stupidity, idiocy, and foolishness, and also clumsiness, isolation, blabbermouth, chatterbox, talktalktalk, and and dissension, to promote quarreling amongst thieves.

Make their way dark and slippery, so that they unbalance on camera and in person. Send them the spirit of truth, that they tell the truth when it is disadvantageous for them, and the spirit of error, that they make many many many mistakes, missteps, and misjudgements of power and timing.

Let this bring many of these leaders to the end of themselves, and that You may then offer to them the blessing of Salvation, that they may accept it and be saved.

And let many freedom loving (believers only) read and repeat this spiritual warfare prayer OUT LOUD to the spirit world, taking authority over evil spirit powers in the unseen realm, that they must obey, so that evil is stalled and/or stopped in this one area at this moment.

In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, amen.

As much as I do not like her politics, I used to think Pelosi was too smart to be this stupid. It looks like I was wrong. The Democrats are looking to get slaughtered in the midterms and they know it. Pandering to fears they are trying to create, or more accurately impose and enforce, is only going to alienate voters even more.

Great idea! Because it had no affect on crime the last time we tried it, 1994-2004. What a wonderful idea, propose something that will do no good. It is not just that we think it won't do any good, we know it won't do any good because we already tried it. ;-/

An "assault" weapon ban is predicated on the insane idea that someone preparing to break dozens of other laws, commit multiple felonies, will somehow be deterred by this one more law. Sure. :-/

So, Nancy. If this law is not intended to improve public safety, just what is its real purpose?

I agree. It is not a winning issue with the American people BUT so it seems we are ruled now by our Globalist/NWO elite overlords, not a constitutional duly elected President. Anything goes. The only one is Clarence Thomas. Bless his heart.

Doesn’t stop from saying AR-15 over and over again. ‘O…. I’m, sure anyone who lives with those dangerous guns are just thankful to have a legal method to keep those Assault Weapons of mass murder from jumping up and attacking the good people (aka politicians). Won’t sork. My deer rifles will much easier from much greater distance. Deer rifles, some would say they are sniper rifles and are much more deadly.

What is the most popular ammunition in the U.S.?

Notice the top two calibers.

The guns preferred by the drug gangs in Chicago. Notice, there are no AR-15 here:

Its simple.

Cops have level 2a/3 armor.

No mainstream pistol round, to my knowledge, can go through level 3 armor. 44 magnum is the only one to my knowledge that can pierce standard 2a armor.
Some mainstream rifle rounds can.
Less rifles to deal with= easier time come confiscation time.

No.

I am tired of these tyrants continuing to attack my rights in all matters and it’s high time for this to come to an end.

Someone should tell these people that the Military and some law enforcement agencies are the only ones with “assault weapons.” Very few civilians own assault weapons. BTW, The Thompson sub machine gun is an assault weapon and has been around since 1918.

Good point. Unfortunately, no one has the balls to confront a liberal gun grabber with facts.

“Define assault weapon.”

“I know it when I see it.”

This will be interesting. The logic that Scalia used in Heller was that a ban on M-16 was constitutional because it was long standing, but a ban on handguns could not stand becuse handguns are in common possession/use of the public.

Regardless, it’s clear that the government is 100% hostile to an armed public, and Courts are at least lukewarm hostile.

All for the chattel human’s well-being. Back into lockup, COVID!

-- Define assault weapon. --

Tempt them - everything that fired a projectile is an assault weapon.
Especially roman candles and BB guns.

As expected they want to re-institute an AWB that did absolutely no good.

It won't happen. The political climate has changed too much since 1994. Thirty years ago, the guns that fell under the ban weren't widely owned. Today, the AR-15 is the most popular rifle in America, with 20,000,000 in circulation and four thousand more sold each day.

Taking a page from the leftists' playbook of refusing to enforce laws they don't like, there'd be plenty of county sheriffs who wouldn't enforce any sort of mandate. Additionally, you'd find red state governors who would declare their state to be "Second Amendment Sanctuaries" and ignore the federal ban. Manufacturers would relocate to these states and continue on, business as usual.

And this is all even if they could get a ban passed. They can't. It's DOA in the senate.

We have learned a lesson from the horrific tragedy in Uvalde:

Government will mandate that your children be vulnerable, hold you back at gunpoint while they are murdered, and then try to lie about it.

And then they’ll tell you that it all happened because you own a rifle.

Define assault weapon.

They won't make the same mistake they made last time using a bunch of physical features that gun makers just worked around.

They'll make it simple. An assault weapon for the purposes of this law is any semiautomatic rifle capable of accepting a detached magazine.
