December 16, 201510 yr http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/12/15/house-democrats-introduce-bill-ban-manufacture-assault-weapons/ On December 16, Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI) (D-RI-1st) will introduce the “Assault Weapons Ban of 2015″ to ban all manufacturing of “assault weapons.”Besides banning the manufacturing of AR-15s and related firearms, the ban would put in place “new restrictions on the sale of already existing assault weapons.” According to The Hill, Cicilline said, “Assault weapons are designed for the sole purpose of killing as many people as quickly as possible. We need to do everything we can to reduce the toll of gun violence by keeping these weapons out of our communities.” His bill has “90 Democrat co-sponsors including House Minority WHIP Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD) (D-Md.-5th) and Rep. Steve Israel (D-NY) (D-N.Y.-3rd).” With a total of 91 Democrats pushing the “Assault Weapons Ban of 2015,” it is interesting to note that the New York Times previously reported that the idea of a class of firearms called “assault weapons” is a piece of fiction the Democrats created in the 1990s. In an article titled, “The Assault Weapon Myth,” the NYT explained that Democrats created the phrase “assault weapons” in hopes of stigmatizing an entire category of guns—blaming those guns for rising crime—then banning them.
December 16, 201510 yr No bill makes it to the House floor unless the Speaker allows it. Only way it gets a vote is if Ryan OK's it.
December 16, 201510 yr I trust that this bill will have the traction it deserves.... The only question would be, will it affect the market pricing for them? Important for me, as I'm very close to making my 1st AR acquisition.
December 16, 201510 yr The Dems know this doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell - they introduce garbage like this so they can point it out to their liberal constituents and say, "See, we tried."
December 16, 201510 yr Bills like this should be a boon for gun sales though. I wonder if the gun manufacturing industry put them up to this to keep sales up.

Important for me, as I'm very close to making my 1st AR acquisition. This isn't the first AWB this guy proposed this year. But, hey, don't join the NRA or anything, guys.
December 17, 201510 yr Thank god we have Republican majorities in both houses! They're not doing much, but they assure that something like this is just a symbolic gesture on the part of the Dems.
December 17, 201510 yr I'm a life member ... Not you, they know who they are. Everything is Jersey Jersey Jersey screw the NRA until there's a bump in the night in US Congress.

The Republicans could run one of those water drinking bird toys against the dems and still win. Anyone remember the "Boggle Chicken" from King of the Hill. Boggle Chicken could beat Hillary.

December 17, 201510 yr The whole idea of an EO is to bypass the Congress altogether. Like Christie could give an EO to add self defense as a justifiable need!
December 17, 201510 yr Better worry more about O's executive order coming down the pike. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
