House Democrats introduce bill prohibiting sale of semi-automatic weapons

Quote:
Americans don’t own tanks or missiles; so why should our streets be flooded with weapons of war made for the sole purpose of killing people?
I guess he forgets that cops have tanks.



Typical Statist hypocrisy. I wonder why they don't draft a bill to defund the military...

Sure you can. But the guns and firing systems will need to be disabled. And you'll need special permits and special tires to drive it on public roadways. But by all means. . .

Handguns, various hunting rifles and shotguns are ample enough for home & body protection and to put food on the table.

Ban everything else.

Yep. It's not like they're actually defending our freedom.

This bill proposes to ban ALL semi-automatic weapons, which includes a vast majority of pistols. And lest one think this bill represents an outlier position proposed by someone way out in left field... 150 Democrats have signed on.

ETA: Actually it only bans semi-auto pistols with a "military-style feature," whatever the hell that is.
