January 1, House Passes Sweeping Gun Control Legislation

Published

on

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY…
1898: U.S. Marines land in Cuba during the Spanish–American War.

The U.S. House of Representatives passed sweeping gun control legislation in a 223-204 vote, with five Republican lawmakers crossing party lines to vote in favor.

The Protecting Our Kids Act would raise the minimum age to purchase semi-automatic rifles to 21, require safe firearms storage, and ban the import, sale, manufacture, transfer, or possession of large-capacity magazines, among other provisions.

“Who will be able to tell their constituents that they stood with them and not with the gun lobby?” Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) said from the House floor.

“Americans are watching. They are begging us to protect them and their loved ones from gun violence, who among us will answer their call?”

However, the sweeping legislation is “all but certain to fail in the Senate,” Axios reported.

    Oh yes, lets put more burden on law abiding Americans. We all know the criminals and psychopaths will jump right in and obey the law. Oh, wait! It is all about helping China disarm America, silly me, I forgot. Yep, better make sure those secure places you are forcing America to store their evil guns in have strong locks, you all know how those treacherously, conniving, evil guns can figure out how to escape and go shoot people.

        Kids today are influenced by violent video games to a point that guns and death doesn’t seem real to them . Should we send them to the front lines in Ukraine.? Can police search every home to see that every gun carrying American has a gun safe? About age limits for guns has it stopped underage drinking?
        No sadly None of the new laws will work.
        Right now this is all a political show by the Democrats . Someone funded that poor kid in Texas . How else could he have afforded all the ammo , guns and new truck.? Why did the police take so long to enter the school to apprehend him? These are the real questions that need to be answered in this terrible offense.

      All the legislation in the world won’t change a criminal’s mind, they’ll find a way to hurt someone whether they have a gun or not. Force all the legalities on the legal gun owners and the thugs will continue as they are. Take ours away, they’ll still have theirs and we will be a bird’s nest on the ground free for the taking!

    Another display of ignorance and ineptness on display for all to see. No wonder congress has such poor ratings single digits aren’t they? Hard to give them even an F, they can not solve a problem, not the gun it is the person behind the gun we must work on. Crazy people can’t have a gun period! All agree with that, so now lets do something to make schools safer, lets immediately hire security full time on school hours, to secure the entrance from those armed people that carry an arsenal into the class room with the ease of entering a laundrymat. Even one professional security guy could secure the comings and goings of people during school hours, give him the authority to levee deadly force, frisk, ask questions,, state reason for entrance, and ID’s. All this chit would be immediately controlled, we pay enough taxes to the DEPt of EDUCATION right ( more than any other country in the world per student) now to handle the cost. Lets demand to get er done! We been screaming this over and over for years now, Politicians just can’t hear, they can only speak. Apparently.

    The best way to stop all this killing is to vote all Democrats and the few Republicans that jump sides out of office. Get the judges that Soros has bought off also out of office, fully fund the police and then if someone starts a killing spree catch them and give them the death penalty. George Soros is a anti American and should be deported out of our country and all his assets should be taken and paid toward the national debt that stupid Joe and crew has run out of sight.. Also these Democrat cities that all this raiding, burning and destroying should be put under the national guards and stop all this destroying. The guard should be given permission to shoot the rioters with no charges against them in case the rioter is killed while doing his or their looting and rioting. Get strict on all this destroying or it will never stop and also close the borders .

    Why do we never hear the number of DEMOCRATS who “crossed the aisle”? Oh, because THEY ALWAYS vote in lockstep. But never is there any criticism of that. It’s always “How many Republicans will cross the aisle”, and if none do, it’s the end of the world. I’m so tired of these hypocrites. AND the turncoats.

    I will eventually give up my firearms starting right AFTER all weapons of MASS DISTRUCTION are DESTROYED! That means ALL WEPONS OF ANY USE IN A WAR! that means that ALL military weapons go first, including all Military nuclear stuff, all canon’s, anti-tank guns, Machine guns of any caliber, ANY WEPON OF MASS DICTRUCTION included, BE it BIO, chemical, or nuclear!! I do not want to be that protected during MY SLAVERY (HAPPENING NOW) (as they are trying to impose on me now) by taking things like my RIGHTS to vote and to protect myself away from me and mine as they are doing right now.

    I thought it interesting that the democrats who want to minimize the police are now asking for only criminals to be able to have guns. I want all American’s, especially those who want gun control, to look at the world and see what countries, who don’t allow the public to have guns, live like. I don’t want to live like that, and I don’t have any guns.

    Unfortunately, the RINO’s will swing the vote each time.

    SO WHAT! The bill will not make it through the Senate without a lot of corrections, if at all. I’m pretty sure the Democrats in Congress are just virtue signaling knowing they’re gonna get their little hinnies roasted in November. We will see them pull out all the stops, and crash and burn in November as they rightly should. We MUST kick these bums out for trashing the country in less than 2 years, and never let them take control again until Jesus returns. They can have the world after that. We’ll be long gone and won’t have to put up with them!

    If we don’t address the issue of a persons mental state the gun legislation is ineffective. Why not leave the age at 18 since many of our military are only 18 and required to be proficient with guns but require two or three adult sponsors who are willing to attest to the persons mental stability before allowing the person to be approved for the purchase of firearms of any type. Sponsors would need to be someone who knows the applicant very well, like an adult family member, pastor, etc.

    Forget the age issue and address the issue of mental health. Why not require the first time applicant to provide notarized statements of support attesting to their opinion of the applicants mental stability. These sponsors, perhaps two or three, would need to be someone who is familiar with the applicant such as a family member, pastor, teacher, etc. Limiting possession to persons 21 or older would be a “slap in the face” to our young men in the military.

    NO LAW ever stopped a criminal from getting a gun, knife, etc. if he truly wanted one…..when they got rid of reform schools and decreased mental evaluations (five mental institutions closed in VA) due to the ACLU Supreme Court case the police, parents and schools could no longer recommend as easily as they use to…

    1) 18 is the age of majority in this country. At 18 one becomes imbued with all the responsibilities of adulthood and is, therefore, entitled to all the rights AND privileges of adulthood.
    2) The requirement for gun safes is a backdoor into requiring firearms registration, so the police will know exactly which homes to search for gun safe compliance.
    3) Not a single thing in this bill will have any effect on criminals. It will only serve to penalize law-abiding Americans for crimes they have not committed – or for potential crimes the Left fears one MIGHT commit.

    Stupid, ineffectual legislation that will only serve to waste time and tax dollars before it is struck down by the courts as unconstitutional – but not before it makes many Americans, like myself, into criminals for refusing surrender our magazines, our guns, our rights, or for refusing to spend money we do not have on gun safes we do not want or need.

    Agreed, laws do not, and will not ever stop criminals, that’s why they are criminals. Here’s an idea, how about enforcing the laws that are already on the books. I know that it is a novel idea, but in reality that is what is missing. In Chicago, Cook County, Illinois laws are simply not allowed to be enforced because they hurt someone’s feelings.
    The snowflake kleptocracy that is this entire country is more corrupt than it has ever been. Term limit are necessary. Representatives should be volunteers. NO PENSIONS for the time that is served as a representative of the people. All should live as the rest of us are living, such as paying for your healthcare. Let’s get back to loving our country and not ourselves.
    WAKE UP AMERICA YOU ARE BEING DUPED!
