I don’t care what they do because it is illegal to ban any gun. I will not comply-—We’re not handing back our lawfully purchased arms to tyrants.

You underestimate the loyalty and rock solid stupidity of the Democrat voter base.

For example, My neighbor several houses down plastered his/her/its lawn with Creepy Joe and the Ho signs two years ago. The county is in demonstrably worse shape today as a direct result of Democrat policies yet they’ve plastered their lawn again with Democrat candidate signs. Democrat voters take stupid to a new nadir.

As I have pointed out numerous times to libtards the ban had zero effect on the number of semi autos in civilian hands, and based on my own observations actually increased interest in them.

The ink isn't even dry yet on the Dobbs decision and already the DemocRATs are thumbing their collective noses at it.

If, at this point, a ban or not a ban makes a difference to anyone they should turn in the firearms they already own.

They left off the shoulder thing that goes up and my personal favorite, the underbarrel chupacabra launcher.

“began debating legislation to ban certain assault-style rifles such as those used in recent mass shootings,”

What is an “assault style” rifles?

Do I have one swinging?

Top thought so after I got the Colonel’s daughter pregnant.

"...and another bill allowing lawsuits against firearms manufacturers..."

I presume we will be able to sue car manufacturers for people who drive their car through a parade, and ice pick manufacturers for people who drive an ice pick through someone's neck?

A reminder of Khrushchev comments September 29, 1959: THIS WAS Russian Prime Minister Nikita Khrushchev’s ENTIRE QUOTE from that day:

“Your children’s children will live under communism, You Americans are so gullible. No, you won’t accept communism outright; but we will keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you will finally wake up and find you already have Communism. We will not have to fight you; We will so weaken your economy, until you will fall like overripe fruit into our hands.” “The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.”

Do you remember or know all of what Russia’s Khrushchev said in 1959?

How do you create a Socialist State?

There are 8 levels of control; read the following recipe:

1) Healthcare - Control healthcare and you control the people.

2) Poverty - Increase the poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them.

3) Debt - Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.

4) Gun Control - Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state.

5) Welfare - Take control of every aspect (food, housing, income) of their lives because that will make them fully dependent on the government.

6) Education - Take control of what people read and listen to and take control of what children learn in school.

7) Religion - Remove the belief in God from the Government and schools because the people need to believe in ONLY the government knowing what is best for the people.

8) Class Warfare - Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. Eliminate the middle class This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to tax the wealthy with the support of the poor.

Fast forward to 2021.

Is this parallel to the Democrat Socialist Agenda????

With an open mind, you can draw your own conclusions.

One last historical fact that needs to be remembered: In 1964, on the floor of the U.S. Senate, Democrats held the longest filibuster in our nation’s history, 75 days. All trying to prevent the passage of one piece of legislation. You guessed it: THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT.

I just applied at Bank of America for a couple of those credit card-sized auto-sears.

Cute, but they should have proof read it. Cloaks, not clokes. And that selector is a selector since it has the little pin above it, holding an auto sear, making it selective fire. So, they are right, it is a machine gun.

If they really, really want them, maybe a few million of us ought to bring them to DC in person. And since we would need any .223/5.56 anymore, bring that too.

Just a thought.

The NRA was silent while trump banned bumpstocks. He could knock on some creepers doors and they would hand him their last round n last weapon and call it 4 D chess.

“U.S. House panel seeks to advance bill to ban assault-style rifles”

I wish they’d do something about 1970’s Leisure Suit-style assault rifles with their needlessly large polyester lapels.

No one needs one of those!
