H.R.5087 - Assault Weapons Ban of 2018

[BlindOne]

Anyone aware of this bill introduced in Congress February 2018? I’ve read it and it literally bans all semiautomatic rifles and pistols. We need to contact our senators and congressmen about this bill and let them know we are aware and want it squashed. This is a back door attempt to take our guns.

Here’s a link to see it.

I agree this has to die a horrible death. However it looks like it will sit in committee and die anyway just like:

Not just this bill; all of the sponsors need to die a horrible (political) death as punishment...pour encourager les auters.

I agree! I'm way more in the know since I've found OSA and this bunch of detectives that lurk here.

You and me both!

Ditto.

Any congressmen named Byng?

Happy to see somebody else got the allusion.

Wasn’t that introduced not long after the Las Vegas incident, during all the political knee jerking?

Yes, hopefully it will just sit there and die too but it’s scary when things like this are introduced.
