U.S. House committee to consider ban on some semi-automatic weapons
The ban would not include already legally held weapons, but would be aimed at semi-automatic rifles that can accept a detachable magazine.

Interesting how this coincides with the AP’s style guide change on “assault weapons” to “semi-automatic”.

AP Style Guide Reminds Reporters to Avoid Using ‘Assault Weapon,’ Calling Term ‘Highly Politicized’ | National Review
The ‘assault’ label ‘convey[s] little meaning about the actual functions of the weapon,’ the guidance reads.

That's the whole point. They've successfully and thoroughly corrupted the public's perception with scary bullshit like "assault weapon." Now, they aim to take the fear and paranoia that they've surrounded "assault weapon" with and transfer it to "semi-automatic rifle." Of course that is the more technically correct term, much more easily defined term, and the term that encompasses a much broader group of arms.
They're moving in for the killing blow and we're so far behind the culture curve we're embracing it as a victory.

Next all semi auto loading guns will be in the "bad " category... The term "weapons of war " will eventually be used to describe the 1911 and all its bastard offspring... The glocks,sigs,kimbers... Any auto loading firearm.

Best case is that it passes. Bring the rest of the country into the plight of NY, and with the current makeup of SCOTUS, this shit gets shot down once and for all.

Hmmm. The 1911 is a weapon of war lol. But I guess this is the new norm. Keep blatantly flying in the face of the Bruen decision and see what sticks. My thing is the free states can do the same. They can reaffirm the decision and simply go against standing unconstitutional laws, laws be dammed. The difference is the free states would be in the right. Texas for instance could say the hell with dealing with silencers in court. Federal agents come to enforce the laws and they will be arrested on sight. Then what?
This was my thinking..
But best case scenario is it fails. The 9th Circuit and the 4th circuit, release their updated rulings on California and Maryland AWB first..
Having both those rulings in our favore in line with the Bruen decision, will give us even more to fight in court a National AWB..
Also having both of those drop sooner than later will help in the NY (FPC lead) AWB lawsuit

Maybe, but not quite yet. When we do get there, the wrath of the innocent against the tyrants will be so overwhelming and severe it will sear the message into the minds of generations of politicians that come after it, though -- whenever that does happen. That much, I have no doubt about.
No it won't.
They will simply decide they need MORE soldiers surrounding them when they come to take power again.
That's the whole reason this is happening now. They think the soldiers and security guards that they surround themselves with are 1) 100% loyal, and 2) more numerous and more heavily armed than the citizenry.
Wasn't it one of his own people that took out Hitler?
Doesn’t work like that with the enemies we fight. They keep going until the fight is over and pick up the ones who fell on the way out. The leftist are the same way. They expect casualties and don’t care who falls on the way to mission accomplishment.
They could give 2 shits if comrade lefty or Muhammad Muhammad are bleeding out next to them. Not their problem it's for the cause. They only care about their cause the individual is irrelevant and a Martyr.
