Anti-Gunners Now Targeting "Precision" Rifles

Come get them boys. Read about me in some obscure google search.

Wonder why there's no fuss concerning over 100,000 overdose deaths in 2020/2021???

Most likely because that is less than what they had the year before in Commifornia. But seriously, what should one expect from a state where homeless poop in the streets and the majority of the people is under drugs most of the time?

some quotes

“There’s been this huge craze in shooting competitions to become a thousand-yard sniper,” Busse said. “A lot of people want to be that long range, thousand-yard sniper. Like they literally fantasize about taking some guy out from a mile away, because the gun will shoot a mile. You don’t hear it coming, you don’t see the shooter. The bullet just hits somebody. And this MCX Spear will essentially introduce that kind of capability to the semi-auto AR-15 world. All of a sudden, people will be able to kind of live out their fantasy of becoming a long-range sniper with an AR-15-style gun.”

It is worth noting that the first modern mass shooting was a sniper who killed 14 in 96 minutes with a bolt-action rifle from a tower at the University of Texas in 1966. Somebody with a semi-automatic MCX Spear could kill that many in a fraction of the time at an even greater distance.

‘Proud’ Gunmaker Figures Out How to Make Mass Shootings Worse​

Democrats push for 1st semi-automatic gun ban in 20 years @ Associated Press, by Farnoush Amiri, 7/20/2022.

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Democrats pushed ahead Wednesday with legislation that would ban certain semi-automatic weapons as they considered their most far-reaching response yet to this summer’s series of mass shootings.

Democrats hope that the 100-page bill moving through the Judiciary Committee will pass the House before the August break. But that is far from assured because some moderates in the party, especially those from swing districts, are wary of a vote on broad gun controls before the November elections — especially when the bill has little chance of becoming law due to opposition in the Senate.

Democrats can afford to lose only four votes if Republicans are united in opposition to the ban. Maine Rep. Jared Golden, who represents a GOP-leaning district, is one of the few Democrats who have indicated a “no” vote.

“I don’t support any version of that,” Golden said. He is joined by Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, who is also facing a tough reelection race, and has said he doesn’t believe in bans on weapons.

Despite not yet having full support from his caucus, Rep. David Cicilline, D-R.I., the bill’s lead sponsor, said he is confident he can get the required votes, even if that involves reaching out for Republican support.

“There are more guns than people in this country, more mass shootings than days in the year. This is a uniquely American problem, and assault weapons only magnify the epidemic,” Cicilline said during the committee hearing.

The renewed push comes nearly two decades after Congress allowed similar restrictions to lapse. The original ban passed in 1994, led by then-Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., and outlawed certain semi-automatic weapons and large-capacity magazines. It exempted an estimated 1.5 million of those weapons and 25 million that were already owned by people in the United States.

In the nearly three decades since, mass shootings have become alarmingly frequent, with semi-automatic weapons often used in attacks on schools, workplaces, public spaces, stores, churches and other places where people gather.

“An assault weapon’s only purpose is to kill people efficiently,” said Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-NY., the committee chairman. “It is time to protect our communities and to ban them once more.”

Republicans said the proposal was an attack on Second Amendment rights.

“Democrats know this legislation will not reduce violent crime or reduce the likelihood of mass shootings, but they are obsessed with attacking law-abiding Americans’ Second Amendment liberties,” said Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, the top Republican on the committee. “For over 30 years, the Democrats have been running a propaganda campaign to make people believe that ‘assault weapons’ are a specific class of firearms that no one needs.”

During the hearing, the committee listened to haunting audio of the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, during which 17 people were killed and 17 more wounded. Dozens of rapid-fire shots could be heard in the course of just 1 minute and 18 seconds along with the distressed screams of those trying to escape.

The hearing also comes in the wake of a July Fourth shooting at a parade in Highland Park, Illinois, and mass shootings in Buffalo, New York and Uvalde, Texas.

Democratic Rep. Brad Schneider whose district represents Highland Park, said that “getting these weapons of war off the streets, at the very least, will reduce the lethality, if not necessarily the frequency, of these just horrific fatalities that have devastated my community.”

Congress last month passed the most significant gun violence measure in decades, mandating background checks for gun buyers age 18 to 21 as well as allocating money for states to enact “red flag” laws.

But the bill fell far short of the steps that President Biden and Democrats say are needed.

“We’re paying for these weapons of war on our streets with the blood of our children sitting in our schools,” said Rep. Lucy McBath, D-Ga., whose 17-year-old son was shot and killed at a gas station in 2012.

Cicilline said that the protection of the Second Amendment is not without limits. He said the Democratic proposal is focused on assault-style rifles, which are not what the majority of guns law-abiding people buy and own.

“Dangerous military weapons that were created to fight on the battlefield and slaughter enemies do not belong in the neighborhoods and schools and movie theaters where we live,” he added.

And as per usual ; These paper-pushing Gun-Grabbers have not one iota of a clue to understand the training , practice , and skill - level required to hit the Ten Ring consistently on a Thousand yard Target . Let alone take a human target at that range . And a "Cold-Bore" shot to boot ! Maybe they should be required to spend a day at the FCNC for Basic education .

 

[littlebuddybr]

It's the language you need to watch, just as dthomas said. It ALL starts at demonization. It takes precise language to form the images that scare the general public into wanting this legislation.

It is beginning.

% this is absolutely true.
Pro 2nd ammendment is loosing more and more rapidly. Mostly cause of the wording.

I sure hope the Rapture comes before all the guns are gone!

It is a good likelihood that there is not 50 million Die Hard Goofy left wingers amongst us. Myself I'd take every Migrant in this country illegally, put a progressive under each arm & march them all out of here south of our border. Build That Wall.

It will never stop, even if we only had the muskets that some anti's claim the Second Amendment only covers. They would come after the muskets claiming that a group of white supremists murdered a group of Brits that only had our best interests at heart.

Well...........I think everyone already knows my opinion on this matter.

I've been pretty vocal about it lately.
