Senators back bill limiting gas-operated semi-automatic firearms
N ^ | 15 alr 3035 | y Chris Woodward

(The Center Square) – U.S. Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Arizona, has introduced legislation he says will save lives and protect communities from gun violence while protecting Americans’ constitutional right to own a firearm.

Gun rights groups said the legislative proposal is clearly unconstitutional.

The GOSAFE Act would regulate the sale, transfer and manufacture of gas-operated semi-automatic firearms by establishing a list of prohibited firearms and prevent the unlawful modification of permissible firearms.

Moreover, Kelly wants to mandate that future gas-operated designs are approved before they are manufactured. Unlawful firearm self-assembly and manufacturing would be prevented under his bill. Machinegun conversion devices would be prohibited.

High-capacity ammunition devices would also be limited under the GOSAFE Act.

Referring to himself as a gun owner, combat veteran and husband of a gun violence survivor, Kelly said that he has first-hand knowledge about the damage weapons such as these cause when in the wrong hands. Kelly's wife is former U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Arizona, who was shot in the head during an assassination attempt in 2011.

Electric-operated semi-automatic firearms are still A-OK?

Any article or person that uses the phrase “gun violence” as responsible independent agent is automatically discrediting itself.

I have never seen a gun commit an act of violence, only be used as a tool by the person committing the violence.

Let’s try this:
Car violence
Bat violence
Water violence
Hammer violence
Screwdriver violence
5th story window violence

Yaa, kind of silly ain’t it!

It is a good thing for Senator Kelly to out himself in this way.

He is a Senator in Arizona only because of the machinations of the Cindy McCain RINO machine in Maricopa County.

You are correct.

“Gun violence” is an Orwellian propaganda term. It is meant to prevent us from thinking about guns and violence as separate things.

It is meant to direct our thoughts to gun control as a way to reduce illegitimate violence.

I was checking that pesky constitution thingie and could not find where the fed was granted the right to regulate firearms of any kind....
However, I did find the 4 words “Shall not be infringed”...
Only a lawyer would have to interpret these words.

“Machinegun conversion devices would be prohibited. “

For a long time, they already have been prohibited. Years ago there were some exceptions with background checks and fee paid for full auto weapons. Not easy to get now, closer description is no longer available. That does not prevent the bad guys from having one.
