Here We Go Again: Democrats Push Bill to Ban “Assault Rifles”

by Chris Black

Following the Florida high school shooting, House Democrats are working hard at trampling over the 2nd Amendment in the Constitution. As usual, the left’s response to a crisis is to ban guns/trample everyone’s rights via legislation instead of addressing more complicated issues, like their 4-5 decades long ‘liberal’ policies and the social/moral decay that followed. Getting back to our news story,  Rep. David Cicilline, (D-R.I.) announced on Monday that House Democrats are going  all in on what has been described as the Assault Weapons Ban of 2018. More than 150 DEMs in the House already signed on the respective bill according to Rep. Ted Deutch (Florida Democrat).


The Assault Weapons Ban of 2018 bill supported by the vast majority of the Democrats lists more than 205 types of handguns and rifles that would be banned, provided the bill passes through Congress and gets signed by President Trump. Obviously, the now (in) famous AR-15 rifle and the iconic AK 47 are on the list. The bill would make it, let me quote:
 
“unlawful for a person to import, sell, manufacture, transfer, or possess, in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce, a semiautomatic assault weapon.”
 
If you know anything about firearms, you probably realize that the Democrats are looking to end the Second Amendment once and for all, as the vast majority of handguns and rifles are semi-automatic; forget about the made-up term “assault weapon”, which means absolutely nothing and it’s aimed at scaring the crap out of people who don’t know squat about guns. The NRA tweeted on Tuesday:

In the aftermath of the Florida high school shooting, the left-wing corporate mainstream media has been calling for no less than a complete repeal of the 2nd Amendment in the US Constitution, and if you think I am exaggerating, check out this or this (by the way, NPR is taxpayer funded, let that sink in). However, regardless of the left’s pipe-dream to destroy individual freedoms  and to confiscate guns, it’s highly unlikely that President Trump would sign such an unconstitutional bill into law. Here’s Trump:
 
“What we are looking for are solutions that don’t ban a class of firearms for all individuals but ban all weapons for certain individuals who are identified as threats to public safety.”
 
The POTUS said that the left is just doing what it does best, playing politics that is, as they were not capable of passing gun control legislation when dear leader Barry Obama from Honolulu was President and they controlled both the House and the Senate:


Look at other countries with gun bans. Ask the people of those countries if they fear their governments. Ask China, Russia, North Korea, South American countries, Middle East countries. When people fear their government, there is tyranny. When the government fears its people, you have freedom.
 
Unless the 2nd  Amendment has been repealed (newsflash: it hasn’t been), then Rep. Cicilline and every Demoncrat who sponsored this legislation is committing a felony.
 
18 USC 242 (Conspiracy Against Rights):
 
If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; or
 
If two or more persons go in disguise on the highway, or on the premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so secured—
 
They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include… an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

  1. There has never been a government that banned it’s own ARMED FORCES from “Keeping and Bearing” ARMS.
    Find one government in the history of humanity that felt a need to document a “RIGHT” for it’s ARMED FORCES to possess ARMS.
    Oppressive Governments are ALWAYS banning the People’S RIGHTS to arms.
    The claim that the Founding Fathers wrote the 2nd Amendment to give Our ARMED FORCES a “right” to keep and carry ARMS is S-T-U-P-I-D.
    The only reason for the Second Amendment is to clearly spell-out the GOD GIVEN RIGHT of INDIVIDUALS to keep & bear ARMS.
    The only reason for the BILL(list) of RIGHTS was to codify INDIVIDUALS’ GOD GIVEN RIGHTS.
    Has there ever been a government that was not chock full of it’s “rights” up to and including declaring itself to be the Lord God Almighty?! (Rome, Egypt, Israel,etc)
    Does the 1st Amendment mean the GOVERNMENT is allowed to give speeches? Try shutting up any Politician. But THEY would LOVE to shut YOU up, hence the FIRST Amendment.
    Anyone who tells you the 2nd Amendment applies to the Army or State Militia, is telling you they think you are STUPID.
    There has NEVER been a government that felt it had to codify it’s army’s/soldier’s “RIGHT” to “Keep and BEAR ARMS” because there has NEVER been a government that refused to allow It’s own soldiers to KEEP and BEAR ARMS!
    The Second Amendment was given to the People, like all the other rights in the Bill or Rights. This was confirmed by the SCOTUS in the DC vs Heller decision, where they stated that the “People” in the Second Amendment were the same “People” that are mentioned in the First and Fourth Amendment.
    The 2nd Amendment clearly guarantees the “right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms”, and certainly not “the Militia”.
    Why would “the Militia”, a type of army manned by citizen-soldiers as opposed to full-time “regulars”, need a constitutional amendment to guarantee they have the right “to keep and bear arms”?
    Is there any specific statement anywhere in the Constitution that the army Congress is empowered to raise has the “right to keep and bear arms”?
    Of course not. …………. That is assumed.
    “The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it.” — Thomas Jefferson
    It is implicit in the nature of all kinds of armies —- be they militia or regulars, volunteer, conscripted, or mercenary — to be armed.
    They are all “armed forces”.
    They all “bear arms”.
    They all carry guns.
    That is what they do.
    It certainly no more requires an amendment to the Constitution to state that “the Militia” has the RKBA , than a specific statement that the army Congress is empowered to raise may be manned by armed troops.
    “The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals … it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government … it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen’s protection against the government.” Ayn Rand

  2. Meet the New World (ZioCON/Communist) Order .. Once it is understood Communism and Zionism are both trees split from the same trunk and the same root system, the picture becomes clearer. Both had the same goal: World Domination. Which one won? Putin, a Christian, stopped the ZioCON/Communists (dual citizens) looting of Russia and, when he started to prosecute them, they fled to Israel. Today they’ve shifted their focus to the USA and, and in addition to looting the USA, they’re bringing their Iron Curtain police state down on us. Until Trump, at the risk of being called an anti-Semite, gets the courage to do what Putin did and toss the ZioCON/Communists (dual citizens) out of the US Government, the USA will continue its’ downhill slide and, if they ever get the guns, millions of Christians will die, just like they did to the Christians in Russia.
