Would nullify all State laws that exceed Federal laws for rifles and shotguns.

And what about pistols? And, for NY, what about knives?

[Repeal 16-17]

Federal preemption being used for a Conservative cause, what a concept.

This should get through the House, but the Senate would be more difficult. Would the Senate RINOs support this bill?

[LIConFem]

Sounds great!!! But it won't pass in the Senate. McCain, Collins and Murkowsky (at least) will see to its demise.

[DoodleDawg]

And if a future Congress passed laws restricting magazine size or type of firearm that states could allow would people be happy with that as well?

It's a 10th Amendment issue. Leave it at that.

[1Old Pro]

LONG OVERDUE.

Add pistols and put a clean bill to a vote.

This would be good... but right now, its the best excuse I have to not have to go and visit the in-laws in NY State.

[umgud]

How about we just demand that the constitution and the 2A apply to all states, maybe have gov’t finally define the word “infringe.”

[Pollster1]

That would be a very big win for real Americans. Given how long it is taking to repeal the restrictions on silencers, I am not an optimist, but I would love to be proven wrong.

I hope it passes and I hope it nullifies the Massachusetts clone of the defunct Federal assault weapons ban. Sure would be nice to get a Ruger Mini-14 tactical with a flash suppressor and a 30 round magazine.

But, I won't hold my breath.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

No how’d that pic URL get there?

[i_robot73]

HOLY SHITE! An actual, legal, Constitutional use of Federal power (to protect a Right of We the People, from abuse by the State)?!

Does it negate any/all ‘gun control laws’ at the Federal level as well (for the same reason)? One can dream, no?

Yeah, I don’t see this seeing the light of day

[from occupied ga]

WOW!! There is one person in NY who is pro gun. Not from NYC or Long Island I’m sure

[upchuck]

The Second Amendment refers to Arms and is not specific. Arms means any type of weapon.

Perhaps the congressman could change the language of his bill to refer to arms instead of mentioning a few specific types of arms? Or phrase it as “arms, including, but not limited to, pistols, revolvers and rifles.”

[TBP]

Excellent!

[rarestia]

This is a trojan horse. The second amendment is pre-existing. There’s no need to legislate it. Putting in laws like this can be abused in the future. If it turns out the Dems take control of all three branches of government again, the Second Amendment would be functionally gutted.

This is bad law.

[arrogantsob]

But, but Congressional Republicans are useless, or worse.

[Mat_Helm]

The common negative response to this congressional bill is you would prefer that nothing is done because if the democrats gain control of all three branches of government than they will either pass laws that gut the second amendment through congress or due away with it all together. This did not happen under Obama, but under Clinton the assault weapons ban became law and then sunsetted and was not reauthorized. But laws have happened and will occur again and again. If you rely on the Supreme Court, it took over 75 years to allow handguns in Maryland before Hellar. The SCOTUS is the only check and balance to runaway legislature and even that is not working. The elites know if they ever tried to take away guns nobody is going to listen or comply and CW2 begins. So instead our rights are gutted one law at a time at the state and local level and you either ignore them and face criminal charges or wait a lifetime for the court to finally act at the highest level and even than they may play politics against liberty and history and still get it wrong.

Again, what if your state did this:

• AR pattern rifles may not have a standard bird cage flash hider/muzzle brake, no pistol grip, no magazine release and it must be fixed, no more than 10 round magazines allowed.

• No .50 BMG rifles unless you purchased one before the deadline and registered it with the State.

• Not a single new pistol is sold in your state because a firing pin microstamp is required, loaded chamber indicator is required, and many other features deemed required by the Department of Justice and not one manufacture complies so no guns are coming in legally.

• No open carry and most of the counties do not allow concealed carry so you cannot carry a weapon ever.

• No mail order ammo to your home. Must have a Department of Justice (DOJ) card approved to buy ammo and pay $5 for every transaction or have your ammo mailed to an approved DOJ licensed dealer who charges another fee.

• No silencers or suppressors allowed. • Only one gun purchase a month.

• Must have a gun safe or lock if any child under 18 is in your home. No loaded guns ready for use in this case or you are violating the law in your own home while taking measures to defend your children living there.

• Countless more regulations and edicts and laws so many to name and detail it would make your forefathers heads spin.

• Welcome to California and other states like it!

Many of us already live in the place you fear could happen. You to someday likely will face this future unless we change the courts and pass federal laws to stop the culture of destruction of the second amendment and I welcome any relief at any level because right now Russians have more gun rights in their country than I have in California. I welcome any help from any direction because every other branch of government has already failed. I am a life member of the NRA, but even they could not fight the democrats and failing courts of California. Pass this law and begin somewhere and don’t make me wait until I am in my grave to see the courts make changes and I could care less if you are worried you might end up living under a federal law like the ones listed above we are already living under in my state.

Libtards will now rediscover the 10th Amendment.
