WASHINGTON, July 20 (Reuters) - A Democratic-controlled U.S. House of Representatives panel on Wednesday began debating legislation to ban certain assault-style rifles such as those used in recent mass shootings, and another bill allowing lawsuits against firearms manufacturers.

The bills face slim odds in the Senate, where they would need at least 10 Republicans allowing them to be brought up for debate. Republicans in the past have rejected similar bills, citing the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution dealing with the right to bear arms.

The House 'rats are at it again, very doubtful it will go anywhere in the Senate.

Will Slo Joe sign an EO banning assault rifles? (Good luck with that)

Even the semi-intelligent congress critters know gun bans are the fastest way out of a job. This bill should be DOA.

Dems just LOVE assault-style rifles. As long as they are in the hands of BLM terrorists who use them to murder whites.

There should be a bill allowing lawsuits against politicians when their stupid ideas become law and an American citizen is injured either physically or financially. Time to hold the Dumb Bastards in Congress Financially Liable!!

What part of “SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED” don’t they understand? Actually, they don’t care. They know they can do it and it’ll take years in courts to get it over turned. perhaps by then they’ll have packed the court.

If it was good enough for Miss America 1962 to shoot it is good enough for me.

I wouldn’t feel so certain about those worthless RINOs in the Senate. Especially Cornyn and The Post Turtle.

“ A 2021 study conducted by Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine found that the 1994 assault weapons ban resulted in a significant decrease in mass shootings.”

Interesting since every other study I have read says that the ban had little effect

Makes no difference what they do, the U.S. Supreme Court has spoken.

Are we ready to match the list of GOP traitors with the list of “up for Nov.2020 re-election?”

And save the other names for the next time?

They seem to think the hysteria of people saying “Oh, no, someone do something, do anything, to stop the gun violence right now, today” is going to be a magic carpet ride to a vote majority. Dems love that stuff.

they would need at least 10 Republicans

Just shout in the corridor "Hey, RINOs, come on down. They're gonna take the vote." Then stand aside.
