Is Nebraska the Next Virginia?

[Madmallard]

• As millions of firearms owners looked to the 20k+ thousands of Virginians who showed up, peacefully assembled, and petitioned their government to protest against further infringement of their Second Amendment Rights, we all have sat back and looked at how one bad bill is pushed forward is followed by another. A Nebraska Senator – Senator John S. McCollister (R?) – has slyly been working to do the same in Nebraska.
  Sen. McCollister has introduced Legislative Bill 816 (LB816), “a bill for an act relating to public health and welfare … to provide for dissemination of information regarding firearm safety and suicide prevention and require suicide prevention training; to require a certificate and provide for other restrictions on transfers of certain firearms as prescribed ….”
  
  Does that sound like Virginia yet? If not, read on.
  
  You might be surprised to learn that Sen. McCollister would like to make it more expensive and difficult for law-abiding citizens to obtain semiautomatic shotguns and rifles with the following features (among others): barrel shrouds, belt-fed firearms, detachable magazines, pistol grips, forward grips, collapsible stocks and semiautomatic rifles and shotguns with an overall length of less than 30”. Sen. McCollister is also apparently attempting to reduce the number of suicides committed with grenade and rocket launchers.
  
  If the intellectual dishonesty of Sen. McCollister’s proposed legislation hasn’t raised red flags for you yet, his Virginia/Bloomberg-like approach to restricting the rights of law-abiding citizens should.

I have no comment other than the waiting for the actual shit show to begin.

Nebraska will have to wait their turn. Right now Arizona is at the plate ready to swing for the bleachers.

What the fuck is going on? Is this some nationally coordinated attack on the 2nd amendment or are these all bills that have already been around but never get passed and only now are getting attention because of what happened in Virginia?

Yes. Coordinated by globalists. Led by Bloomturd. Funded by China through bloomturd.
China was recently heard stating "Americans with guns are a big problem."

Sadly, we can't ignore the Fudd's in all this. My last excursion to the range with my muzzleloader I encountered a classic Fudd! My age, maybe a bit older, he had spent his life working for Remington in Ilion. He'd never fired a flintlock rifle so I let have at it. As the conversation drifted to modern firearms, I guess he though me being with the flintlock would be a kindred spirit, and started railing against the scary black guns. Have to say I was taken back a little bit but not as much as he was when I railed back at him with facts, figures and 'personal' experience. I like to think I may have turned him around, who knows. There are a lot of the gun owning public just like him with little understanding of the second and the role it plays in the make up of America and our freedom.
These are the ones we have to reach, with just their added involvement we could turn this state around.

If the seed you planted takes root, that is awesome. Hopefully he does not return to his normal safety zone hiding behind his bolt action. If he doesn't he may dig a little deeper and shed light on his fellow peers.

I recently had conversation with a fudd I see frequently. He's not against scary guns but seemed to care less, non the less. I made a point to him about the bump stock ban and it's wording, "anything that increases the rate of fire." I said a revolver increases that rate by 5. Hell even a cartridge increases rate of fire. He proceeded with, "it's not that. It's about the action." So I calmly explained how a bolt with a handle increases rate of fire.
I got a blank stare. A week later I told him about the mental health check proposed bill for every firearm purchase. That hit home.

We can only hope for a wake up, and stiffer legislation to pass through to make the fudds snap out of it.

Just say "that's a nice sniper rifle you got there" if he has a bolt gun, or "a nice street sweeper" if it's a shotgun.

When he objects, say "well, that's what the people who invented the term assault weapon call it."

Yup.

Waiting for the usual suspects to say you should've just pissed on his boots and stomped away.
