January 1, Dems Introduce Bill Aimed at Guns — And They Don’t Need Any Republicans to Pass It
ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY…
1837: Charles Goodyear obtains his 1st rubber patent.
Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives have introduced legislation that would add a 1,000% tax on AR-15-style rifles — and they wouldn’t need any Republican support to pass it.
Rep. Donald Beyer (D-VA) and 36 other House Democrats introduced the “Assault Weapons Excise Act.”
“Congress must take action to stem the flood of weapons of war into American communities, which have taken a terrible toll in Uvalde, Buffalo, Tulsa, and too many other places,” Beyer said.
“I have voted in the past for commonsense gun safety reforms only to see them run aground on Senate Republicans’ filibuster; my bill presents a pathway to bypass that obstruction and enact lifesaving measures.”
According to Insider, the tax would apply to military-style “assault weapons” and high-capacity magazines that can carry 10 rounds or more.
Democrats intend to pass the measure through budget reconciliation, allowing lawmakers to maneuver around GOP opposition and approve legislation with a simple majority vote, the outlet noted.
“I think it passes the tests on the various requirements to qualify for reconciliation,” said William G. Hoagland, senior vice president at the Bipartisan Policy Center.

None of these criminal politicians are being held accountable by the people, but they will be held accountable before God.
People are so bummed down by the schools, the media , the liberal communist in the colleges, the left wing bought and paid for politicians. Every time these morons pass a bill against the constitution, they commit a felony, because the constitution is not a collection of 27 suggestions, ITS THE LAW TO KEEP THESE MORONS UNDER CONTROL, but they have gotten away with their treasonous actions for so long that they think they can’t be touched or held accountable.
Its past time to vote the whole lot of them out and into getmo

Misleading headline. A bill has to pass through TWO chambers and to get through the Senate it needs SIXTY votes to get past the filibuster. For that to happen TEN GOP senators would have to defect and, while there are that many RINOs, they don’t want to cut their political throats!

2nd Amendment! Does that sound like it is infringement??? It certainly does to me!
INFRINGE:

to commit a breach or infraction of; violate or transgress:
to infringe a copyright; to infringe a rule.
verb (used without object), in·fringed, in·fring·ing.
to encroach or trespass (usually followed by on or upon):
Don’t infringe on his privacy.

Well shit Ann if everybody thinks there that unsafe because of crime and need to PROTECT ONES SELF then maybe we should say SCREW an AR15 and just purchase a F—ing TANK, then anytime anyone want’s to commit a crime they’ll see the TANK and say OH shit this isn’t going to work. Hey Ladd you simple minded f— I never see any of your criminal comments about that BLONDE HEADED FAT F— (oops sorry again everything BEFORE and AFTER he had you guys raid the CAPITOL was all fake) he had you then and he still has you BRAINWASHED IDIOTS believing everything he says is true, I would bet if you could read his thoughts he’s probably sitting back saying (I got all these guppies on my hook, all I have to do is reel them in).

Don’t threaten us, you sorry incompetent fools. You try it, and you’re done, LEGALLY. You will be removed, for violations of your own constituents’ constitutional rights, the oath you swore to God, you’d protect, and discrimination against a whole class of citizens, who are 100 million strong. Do ANY of you degenerates know what the word Infringement means? It’s pretty damn simple, just like you all. You fools obviously have no idea what the biggest contributing factors were, in ALL of these mass shootings, do you? lack of attention to flagrantly outward signs of serious mental health issues, that were totally ignored by those who should’ve been aware, and could’ve made a difference. But NO, you try to hide your shame, by attacking law abiding citizens, and restrict them for the actions of individuals who won’t obey the laws already in place. You Dimms are derelict in your duties to protect the rights of the citizens you supposedly represent. Your attempts at controlling the people, will be refused, and unenforceable, as it will never pass scrutiny by the USSC, but it will identify all the domestic enemies we have to remove. Ask any real’ veteran NCO, of either the military branches, or the mid-grade law enforcement officers, who are in the damn trenches, working with the everyday citizens. Some of us, have been successfully defusing situation because the ‘subjects they are interacting with, they actually know. The intervention, in most of these cases should’ve been initiated, at the first signs of mental health issues, attention getting activities, are an early sign, something is afoot, and now is the time to address the issue, at that time, and you probably prevented even a small tragedy. Un-addressed small tragedies, can escalate dramatically, and rapidly become out of control. We all know that there are some folks who should never be allowed to obtain a firearm of any sort. Sometimes they fill out the 4473, knowing damn well they’re not supposed to attempt to buy a weapon, and they make false entire. if attention has been paid to this individual’s history, the authorities should recognize the name and research if it is the same person, and if it is, find him, or her, and interview them, to determine their intentions. Every one of these mass shooters gave many warning signs about their thought patterns, and intent. Paying attention to these signs, and acting on it, could make world of difference, in the possible outcome. These plans the Congress is proposing are absolutely ludicrous, and all it will accomplish is to restrict the law-abiding citizen, from the ability to defend himself, or herself. Dimms will make a statement that nobody need an AR-15, for hunting or range practice, Well the Second Amendment has absolutely NOTHING to do with hunting or range practice. It has everything to do with our right to protect ourselves against any enemy, be they foreign, or domestic, to include an increasingly tyrannical government, wanting to force more compliance and control of your every move. Well folks our country DOES NOT work like that, and it seems that We the People, must keep reminding the powers to be, that we are not subjects, but citizens, and that they work for us, not the other way around. Taking the citizen’s right to protect himself, of herself, is NOT going away, as it will accomplish nothing except create a target rich environment for the bad guys! THINK BEFORE YOU LEGISLATE!!! Except for the last three or four years, the in-place system has worked, until you started messing with it. We will do what it takes, to protect our freedoms, from YOU, if necessary!!! Semper Fi!

If the Democratic SOBs would ask the GOP to join in at the beginning something good might happen. What is HEL do they expect when they concoct something that sounds asinine to knowledgable gun owners and says this is what we want you to accept whether it makes sense or not. And to be politically incorrect, until the lunes are taken care of messing with the hardware wouldn’t help much. Messing with law-abiding citizens doesn’t take guns from criminals either.

They banned AR 15’s in Maryland years ago but allowed AR 15’s with target barrels. So, the sale of AR 15’s continued unabated but all with target barrels, which is better anyway. If the gun tax passes, gun dealers can sell AR 15’s for one cent with the purchase of a fun sized Snicker’s Bar for $800/$1,200/$1,800 or however much the AR 15 costs. Thinking about it, many states don’t tax unprocessed food (not fast foods). You sell the customer a loaf of bread for the price of the AR 15 and the AR 15 for one cent. That way the customer wouldn’t even pay regular sales tax on the gun!

1) Infringement means break or violate, in this case, a U.S. constitutional amendment.
2) This cannot be done without The U.S. Supreme Court’s approval. Good luck getting it past them.
3)
Infringe: Break, violate, undermine. Regardless of what ruse they try to use to obscure their intent, it still runs afoul of the second amendment. They are wanting to impose a “TAX” without following the law. AS soon as they do this it will be tied up in court, until the U.S. Supreme Court blows them out of the water.

The entire idea behind “gun control” is to eventually disarm the entire population so it will be easier to force us to comply with the dictates of the progressive socialists who are aggressively attempting to take over and control the entire country and every aspect of our lives. Just check out what goes on in the countries where the citizens have already been disarmed. If these totalitarian oligarchs can disarm us, then they can do anything else they want to us and we’ll have no way to defend ourselves against them. That’s why our Founding Fathers, in their wisdom, added the “Bill of Rights” to the Constitution–strictly as a precautionary measure against government tyranny.
