https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-...ouse-bill/4269 introduced 12/16 and already has 123 co-sponsors. The Hearing Protection Act only has 38 so far.
There's a petition to stop it, although who would believe Obama would listen to that one. https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/pet...avid-cicilline
Thanks for posting this up, we'll see how far it goes. Hey look, DeGette is a co-sponsor.
...and the mice once more attempt to vote to put a bell on the cat. Let's see how that goes for them.
How often do bills not have the summary or text posted?

From the Merriam-Webster Dictionary:
infringe
verb in·fringe \in-ˈfrinj\
: to do something that does not obey or follow (a rule, law, etc.) ( chiefly US )
: to wrongly limit or restrict (something, such as another person's rights)
We've been under attack for decades, their final push, or should i say Solution, is under way. With the massive media (internet, tv, radio, print) deck stacked against us. There are a few options one can do to counter their attack.
Unfortunately IMO the white (Sorry) Color Blind House is a lost cause. Maintaining the House & Senate are A MUST. If we as Constitutional supporters falter in 11/2016. Regaining our footing might be difficult, if not impossible.
IF the 2nd falls , those who feel the Constitution is nothing but a piece of paper that needs to be removed. Eliminating the 22nd, locking a Socialist ruling monarchy in power for who knows how long. Our country will not recover from the resulting carnage. Probably in you younger ones lifetime. If ever.
I just asked her about it on her Facebook page.Quote:

I plan on reading this again also. I remember the first time I read it wondering how it could get to that point...Now, I don't think I'll be so shocked.Quote:

This was written in 1957... it seems like it was written last week.Quote:

“(2) Paragraph (1) shall not apply to the possession, sale, or transfer of any semiautomatic assault weapon otherwise lawfully possessed under Federal law on the date of enactment of the Assault Weapons Ban of 2015.
That basically is an appeasement statement to make current generation of gun owners happy (The "I've already got what I need" mentality) while making it impossible for future generations to own or possess decent firearms.
Section 5 also makes it impossible to transfer Grandfathered weapons, including as gifts to family. Liberty will effectively die in exactly 1 generation.
So after reading the text the first thing that pops out at me is, who the hell is putting a rocket launcher on their semi auto rifle? Also, where can I get one?
I read that too, hmmmmm [Beer]Quote:

We won WWII with them.
"I like that these rifles are still permitted:"
For now.
$4000 Carbines and $10,000 Garands. Sounds like a good time to buy now for investment.Quote:
