"Assault weapons" ban

[DDT951]

The extremes do not decide elections, the middle does. If he appears to govern middle left, his chances of winning are much greater than if he takes a far left stance.

Commander Christopher Hassig of the Houston Police Department Homicide Division said the woman used male aliases in the past, including Jeffrey Escalante, but was female.
Finner later clarified, "It's the biological mother," referring to the critically injured 7-year-old boy who was shot in the head.

I can't find anything that disputes the killer was not a woman, other than internet speculation put forth to fit narratives.

I have followed up more

"Moreno, originally from El Salvador, who had a lengthy criminal record, also previously used the name Jeffrey Escalante Moreno, investigators said. The shooter was killed after off-duty police officers at the church responded to the incident. Police said two people were injured – a 57-year-old man and the child who accompanied the shooter.

Preliminary reporting indicated the shooter was transgender, but in a Monday news conference, investigators identified her as a woman and the biological mother of the 7-year-old child."

Back on topic to this proposed ban:

With all of the pro-crime policies being put into place around the nation, then the poor economic policies, etc. crime is on the rise all over. Then we add into the mix thousands upon thousands of individuals coming into the country with zero interest in obeying our laws...more crime.

With all of this, the number of bad things happening will continue to go up. Instead of addressing the cause of the crime, and wanting to "never let a tragedy go to waste" (I think it was Hillary who coined that phrase), the libs feel emboldened go full throttle with their attacks on our 2nd Amendment right. After all, why should they go after the people responsible for these heinous crimes when they can go after the tools they used - which are used legally by millions of others? Those behind these bad policies know that eventually the American people may be pushed to the point where they say "enough is enough" and use those tools to remove the criminals in office from their lofty positions. They know they risk losing their power and control over us if we have a means to fight back. So, of course they're going to push for every restriction on our right that they can possibly push out - we can't have the peasants in a position to fight back now can we?

Yes, either this bill will pass or another version will, and soon.

That is from Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky from the early 70’s.

I stand corrected.

Of course, Hillary isn't bright enough to have come up with that on her own.

Same deal just another day. Good reason to vacate the state.

Yeah super considering leaving CO too. Too much anti-gun sentiment, and too much attempt to kill TABOR so they can increase taxes and pocket the revenue.

More violations of our US Constitutional Rights. We need better doctors and less conniving politicians. I'll be glad when Polis is retired.
