US Assault weapons ban passed in House of Representatives - House takes a shit. Tells the Senate jannies to clean it up.

The House of Representatives voted to pass an assault weapons ban Friday evening, with legislators narrowly approving the bill with a 217-213 vote.

The legislation will now head to the Senate, where it's unlikely to break the filibuster.

Two Republicans, Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Penn., and Chris Jacobs, R-N.Y., broke with their party to vote yes on the bill. Five Democrats, Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas; Rep. Jared Golden, D-Maine, Rep. Vicente Gonzalez, D-Texas, Rep. Kurt Schrader, D-Oreg., and Rep. Ron Kind, D-Wisc. broke with their party to vote no.

President Biden said that a majority of Americans agree with the assault weapons ban and called on the Senate to pass it.

"The majority of the American people agree with this common sense action. The should Senate move quickly to get this bill to my desk, and I will not stop fighting until it does. There can be no greater responsibility than to do all we can to ensure the safety of our families, our children, our homes, our communities, and our nation," Biden said. "Today, House Democrats acted by unifying to pass an assault weapons ban to keep weapons of war off our streets, save lives in this country, and reduce crime in our communities."

[Too Many Catgirls]

The House does dumb shit all the time.

The majority of the American people agree with this common sense action. The should Senate move quickly to get this bill to my desk

Is this a direct quote from President Biden? Because if it is, I wouldn't be surprised.

 

[mlanguishi]

Waiting for mass school shooting anyday to push it over the top. This time they are real close to their immediate goal. Canada style is long term.

 

[Sithis]

If any Houston kiwis wanna rack up some $50 gift cards you could totally just slap some metal pipes and wiring together on some wooden planks and turn them in as nonfunctioning guns here's some food for thought

 

[Drkinferno72]

Now will it pass on Senate

 

[Back me up!]

So what guns does it actually ban in the bill? And what happens to people that already own said guns?

 

[mlanguishi]

It basically gets rid of over 10 round standard capacity magazines and most semi-auto rifles. Magazines are for pistol/rifle. It's a supercharged 1994 AWB, with no sunset risk for them this time.

Nobody would lose what they already own and you could still get used ones, but this could encourage a universal registry system and only allow legal transfers for the 'pre-bans'.

Nope, it bans possession, too.



They say it doesn't, but that's a lie. They just voted to make you a felon overnight.

 

[LaxerBRO]

Politics should never move quickly. It should take at least six months to a year for a bill to go through Congress.

 

[Beautiful Border]

So how are they defining "assault weapons"? Is it the same way they did in the AWB, with a bunch of arbitrary cosmetic features?

No they aren't.

They say it doesn't, but that's a lie. They just voted to make you a felon overnight.

If you already possess them, they're grandfathered.

Paragraph (1) shall not apply to the possession of any large capacity ammunition feeding device otherwise lawfully possessed on or before the date of enactment of the Assault Weapons Ban of 2022.

So how are they defining "assault weapons"? Is it the same way they did in the AWB, with a bunch of arbitrary cosmetic features?

They say it doesn't, but that's a lie. They just voted to make you a felon overnight.

This isn't that much different than the 94 one, but they might push the 'possession' thing a lot harder this time and just confiscate/fine/possibly jail anyone arrested or interacting with cops that owns one.

"
If enacted, the bill would make it a crime to knowingly import, sell, manufacture, transfer, or possess a semiautomatic assault weapon or a large capacity ammunition feeding device. But some of these weapons would be allowed to be grandfathered in.

Sounds like they're just enriching Tyrone at the cost of everyone else

 

[More AWS-8Q Than You]

Christ above, they'd ban the Hi-Point carbines? Have they no decency? I guess that ten-round single stack is fucking scary.

 

[Bulk Bogan]

"“(xv) Kel-Tec Sub-2000, SU–16, and RFB."

Sub-2000's inclusion was inevitable, as was the SU-16's and the PLR-16's lower down... but where's the RDB? It's a 5.56 bullpup that takes STANAG mags, where the RFB is 7.62 and takes FAL mags. Very strange!

"“(v) Streetsweeper."

Oh look, they just Ctr-c'd the 90's AWB again, just with some added stuff. This plus the fucking Calico weapons... I know I'm not supposed to read this, but Jesus Christ, get new lines. Anyways, you know, can't wait till the American Troubles. Ça ira.

 

[make_it_so]

Just remember that this isn't about public safety.

It's about the Oligarchs wanting to protect themselves from the growing numbers of angry masses by disarming them.

 

[Milwaukee Macho Man]

Ruger needs to start pumping out more Ranch Mini-14's. I've been trying to find one for over a year now.

 

[Bland Crumbs]

President Biden said that a majority of Americans agree with the assault weapons ban and called on the Senate to pass it.

Well if Biden said it you know it is not true!

 

[Aero the Alcoholic Bat]

The only thing that needs to happen is someone to sue them over this. The Supreme Court has struck down so many gun control laws, so the democrat-controlled legislative branch is flailing their arms desperately trying to get a few things in before they're raped up the assholes later this year.

That's why it's moving so quickly.
