Whatever Biden recommends is going to be DOA in the House, and will likely never even get through the Senate. So this is just a waste of time.

I'm an old man now and the thought of "we will put you in jail", doesn't really bother me at this point. Your gonna give me 40 years?? LMAO... That would give me probably 25 years more life than I figure I have left anyway....
I'll do the same with mine. I wonder how they expect to find these dangerous things?

I encourage Democrats to continue to play politics with this. I believe they last did it in 1994.

Do you have any Idea how much revenue in the form of taxes the gov't collects from us smokers every year? LOL, they'll never ban smoking, nor do they want those who smoke to stop. Thats all just a big put on. Anti-smoking propaganda promoted by the gov't to help big pharma sell it's drugs and to help local gov't pass laws that infringe oin the rights of private property owners which results in fines for violators, which ALSO results in more revenue......think.

Some people are so easily duped..........

Sheeple.

Is this a surprise to anyone? This has been a goal waiting for an opportunity. Notice the Obama administration DID NOTHING until the second term. Why no move before the election after the Colorado shooting?

Just watch- .50bmg guns will be included in the ban despite the weapon never being used in any mass shooting and only one gun related crime I can recall. It isn't about safety, it is about control.

Of course it is. Any firearm enthusiast worth his salt hears the term "assault weapon ban" and then looks to see what is classified as an assault weapon knows that it has nothing to do with getting rid of "weapons of war" because the weapons they have listed are not weapons of war, they are ordinary firearms designed to look like weapons of war. From there, it becomes clear that that it isn't about limiting access to excessively dangerous weapons, but limiting access to weapons in general. It's a gun grab, plain and simple. It's about getting as many weapons out iof the hands of ordinary citizens as possible, by whatever means necessary, even if it means lying to the less educated and unsuspecting public.
