Now we all know about the cries about the second Amendment that the left is coming for your guns.. First I am not a big gun person but I do have a couple as you never know if you will need one.. That said, our buddies on the left here have always said the Democrats are not coming for your guns and that is basically make believe from the right.. This past week the house passed new gun legislation that makes it harder to buy guns with enhancing back ground checks.. Again I don't have a problem with background checks. But the way I see it it will make it harder to sell a gun privately.. This alone could be a plus for the dealers.. Now I would have to think that all "Criminals" will abide by any new gun laws?? You know put off that armed robbery scheduled for the weekend because he failed his background check?? Well now the bill that was passed in the house goes to the Senate where it will most likely go to the shrewder but not before some democratic senators can add to it.. Here is from the California Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA)
Dianne Feinstein Introduces Ban on 205 Different ‘Assault Weapons’
Dianne Feinstein Introduces Ban on 205 Different ‘Assault Weapons’
Following Thursday’s House passage of a Democrat gun control bill, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) introduced a ban on 205 “assault weapons.”
The legislation, called the “Assault Weapons Ban of 2021,” is co-sponsored by 34 Senate Democrats. It would also ban ammunition magazines holding more than ten rounds.
Feinstein’s ban would allow current owners of “assault weapons” to retain possession of them, but if the gun is transferred, a person must undergo an FBI background check before receiving the firearm.
Her “Assault Weapons Ban” also bans bump stocks, which have been illegal since March 26, 2019.
Feinstein announced her ban stating:
It’s been 17 years since the original Assault Weapons Ban expired, and the plague of gun violence continues to grow in this country. To be clear, this bill saves lives. When it was in place from 1994-2004, gun massacres declined by 37 percent compared with the decade before. After the ban expired, the number of massacres rose by 183 percent.
In contrast, the Department of Justice’s National Institute of Justice (NIJ) issued a report indicating the 1994 “assault weapons” ban did not reduce crime.
The Washington Times quoted University of Pennsylvania professor Christopher Koper, author of the NIJ report, saying, “We cannot clearly credit the ban with any of the nation’s recent drop in gun violence. And, indeed, there has been no discernible reduction in the lethality and injuriousness of gun violence.”
The NIJ report continued, “The ban’s effects on gun violence are likely to be small at best and perhaps too small for reliable measurement.”
