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.

Time to invent fixed drums and using stripper clips again ;)
Idolatry involving inanimate objects exists as love or hate. Total obsession with inanimate objects in either aspect is one of the many causes of the destruction of the mind and spirit.

They don't care that it didn't actually do anything, they're just appealing to people's feelings. It's easier to connect with that than logic.
Ban the semi-automatic AR-15 but keep the wood stock Remington .223 rifle? Hmmmm. Same gun. It’s just that the AR looks means and nasty but the Remington looks like grandpa’s hunting rifle.
Indeed.
Every day, about 32 people in the United States die in drunk-driving crashes — that's one person every 45 minutes. In 2020, 11,654 people died in alcohol-impaired driving traffic deaths
A knife is an assault weapon if someone is using it to assault someone else.
Level III does not mitigate .30-06 or 7.62 x .54R round fired at 2800 feet per second and non-steel core. Weapons that utilize these rounds are not Assault Rifles. For now they are mainly assigned to assaulting the local deer population.
Congress will define an assault weapon as any weapon of war. Any caliber above .22 will be considered a weapon of war, therefore an assault weapon.
They don’t even want us owning Nerf guns.
Well soon must be before she loses her speakership role in 6 months and has to go back to her drunkard husband. Who in 1957 was involved in an auto accident, his brother was killed. You’d think he’d be more careful.
Not to be picky but sub-sonic 22LR are VERY EFFECTIVE sniper rounds. With suppressor, damn near silent. The Israelis have been using highly modified Ruger 10–22s for some time. In other words ANY gun could be considered an assault weapon using DemonRat logic.
I’m surprised that 6.5mm Creedmoor isn’t on that list of popular calibers.
Assault weapon - Any firearm that allows the bearer the ability to defend himself/herself against a tyrannical government.
She has slipped in her dotage and let the leftists set the agenda.
Now come on. You know that facts don’t matter to DemocRats. This has nothing to do with stopping crime. It’s about disarming the people so that any struggle against a tyrannical government can be easily quashed because the people will be badly outgunned.
O Rly.
You first, Nan.
Not even with letters, demonstrations, phone calls, or email. Not a finger will be raised in defiance. Not one.
Belt fed.
Remember the Assault rifle ban?
It banned rifles by name.
It declared flash suppressors and bayonet lugs bad.(How many people died from bayonets since 1900?)
Folding stocks were bad
Extended magazines bad.
So the manufacturers changed the name of the rifles to “Target Rifle”
Removed the flash suppressor and bayonet lug.
Made the folding stock solid.
Added a 10 round magazine.
And the rifles were still for sale all through the ban.
Meanwhile there were still millions of high cap magazines in public hands.
Bet there will be a run on gun stores as people buy up all the AR-15s they can get their hot little hands on.
It happens every time the Dems broadcast what firearm is now on their “To Be Banned” list.
No one really wanted an “A-s-s-ault Rifle” in the 1970s till the Dems cast their covetous eyes in that direction in the1980s. Suddenly AR and AK type rifles became hot sellers!
