Democrats ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban Will Outlaw a Host of Everyday Firearms Owned by Law-Abiding Citizens

Two Republicans, Chris Jacobs of New York and Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, voted with Democrats to ban millions of American firearms

Democrats’ Assault Weapons Ban of 2022, which passed the House on Friday in a partisan vote, goes far beyond banning the AR-15 and re-classifies firearms commonly owned by millions of law-abiding American citizens as assault weapons. The legislation represents the biggest attack on Americans’ 2nd Amendment rights in history and dwarfs the 1994 weapons ban, championed by then-Senator Joe Biden, which expired in 2004. Studies into that legislation have shown it to have had virtually zero impact on stemming gun deaths, merely acting as an aide in disarming law-abiding Americans.
HR 1808, which Democrats are calling the Assault Weapons Ban of 2022, passed through the House of Representatives on Friday by a hyperpartisan vote of 217-213. In the process, five Democrats broke with their party to oppose to the gun ban, and two Republicans, Chris Jacobs of New York and Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, stood with Democrats to support it. Following the vote, Jacobs and Fitzpatrick were eviscerated by the American Firearms Association, who called them “traitors” and accused them of driving “a knife into the backs of the people who voted them into office.”

While corporate media and Democrat politicians have sold the legislation as a ban on “military-style assault weapons,” HR 1808 goes far beyond targetting America’s most popular rifle, the AR-15, and reclassifies a host of other commonly owned firearms as “assault weapons,” some by name and others by criteria, exercising a sweeping ban on semi-automatics.

They'll be many dead LEO's if this passes. Hopefully, the Senate puts a bullet to it's head. So many 2A supporters will go out with a bang before giving up their guns.

They are just doing what they did in Canada

This is exactly what they want so they have an excuse to bring in United Nations Troops to go around and collect.

They WANT people to fight back.

If your guns are locked up you might as well not have them.

This is the honest truth.

You will not be able to get to them in time anyway.

Careful what ya wish for lol

When are they finally going to make and sell .75 caliber pistols and rifles? If you're going to shoot something/somebody, make it count, make a Big Hole. Go big, or go home, amirite?

you can still buy a gun, so whats the big deal?

Isn't a `12ga slug about .75 caliber?

good. confiscate them all

It doesn’t matter what they “outlaw” or “ban”. None of their gun confiscation “laws” are constitutional or legitimate.

They want them locked up so when they kick down your door to confiscate them, you can't access them. If they are not locked up, they will confiscate them and ban you from purchasing another firearm for not having them locked up.

good. confiscate them all

We are about to go to war with China, so what is the rush to ban any weapons and force people to turn them in?

Can I get a liberal or a democrat to give me a honest answer?

or even an answer that you have been told to use by your masters?

That's idea! WAR WITH CHINA AND WE HAVE NO DEFENSE; WE WERE SOLD TO CHINA YEARS AGO
