Rep. Raskin Asks Congress to ‘Find the Courage’ to Ban AR-15s
Breitbart ^ | 07/22/2024 | AWR HAWKINS

During Monday’s House Oversight Committee hearing regarding the U.S. Secret Service, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) urged his congressional colleagues to “find the courage” to ban AR-15 rifles.

He pushed universal background checks and repeated the Democrats’ decades long push to close the so-called gunshow loophole, even though the AR-15 used in the failed Trump assassination was “legally purchased.” (When law enforcement speaks of a gun being purchased “legally” it means a purchaser passed a background check to acquire the firearm at retail.

Nevertheless, Raskin wants more background checks in the wake of the failed assassination attempt.

Where are the pictures? There is a blurry one of the shooter/gun on top of the roof after his head was blown off. It’s difficult to see exactly what kind of rifle it was.

Maybe Raskin should have Chicago pass more gun controls to slow down the murders there.

AR-15's are not the problem

The FBI is the problem

the FBI needs to be banned, dismantled, its leaders incarcerated or eliminated

the only thing they have to fear is AR-15's,

the foriegn rat infested FBI/CIA/N.W.O. needs MORE fear not less

NO WAY am I buying this was a "lone nut", it was an assassination attempt orchestrated by the same organization that has been after Trump since before he got elected ( the FBI)

I was hoping the next Republican would ask the same question about whether the proliferation of baseball bats make the SS job harder since he just told a story about his staff member being beaten with a bat.

If they banned them from all Leftists and enforced it, gun violence would decrease dramatically.

Granted, I am of the school that even those slices of human waste should be allowed to defend themselves, as illogical as that is given their stance on these things, but still...
