House passes sweeping gun reform legislation

[Doobie Doo]

The House of Representatives passed a sweeping gun package in a 223-to-204 vote on Wednesday in response to mass shootings in Buffalo, New York, and Uvalde, Texas, which killed more than 30 people overall. The gun legislation package is made up of several proposals including the restriction of sales of large-capacity ammunition magazines and raising the minimum age for the purchase of certain firearms. Despite the measure being passed, it’s expected to meet Republican opposition in the Senate, where 60 votes are needed to “break through a filibuster and move forward,” according to The New York Times.

Repubs in the Senate are gonna strip it down or kill it

Weak gesture designed for mid term support. Federal electoral politics is a dismal failure. Local politics+ direct action tactics are pretty much the only way to go if you want shyt done now.

They don’t care. They only care about disarming regular citizens.

And? This has already proved to work... Nothing will bring it down to zero.. Nations with complete bans still don't have zero. But Vegas doesn't happen with a pistol

During the 1994-2004 ban:

In the years after the assault weapons ban went into effect, the number of deaths from mass shootings fell, and the increase in the annual number of incidents slowed down. Even including 1999’s Columbine High School massacre – the deadliest mass shooting during the period of the ban – the 1994 to 2004 period saw lower average annual rates of both mass shootings and deaths resulting from such incidents than before the ban’s inception.

From 2004 onward:

The data shows an almost immediate – and steep – rise in mass shooting deaths in the years after the assault weapons ban expired in 2004.

Breaking the data into absolute numbers, between 2004 and 2017 – the last year of our analysis – the average number of yearly deaths attributed to mass shootings was 25, compared with 5.3 during the 10-year tenure of the ban and 7.2 in the years leading up to the prohibition on assault weapons.

That switch on that glock makes every so called " assault weapon" look like a joke unless it has a key card

At this point you’re either going to ban guns altogether or you’re not.

Or there needs to be a federal mandate for all states. What good is it for New Jersey to have strict gun laws when someone can simply go PA to get a gun and bring it back into the state illegally.


How about restricting the amount of ammo you can buy in a single day, month, year.

If you buy certain guns, you automatically get put into local and federal law enforcement databases.


Regardless of what the media says, there isn’t any real reform.

a pistol can tear bodies and make them unrecognizable with the same efficiency as an ar?
