The Left says that they are not out to ban guns or take your guns from you, but Rhode Island Democrat David Cicilline has introduced the Assault Weapons Ban of 2018 and 150 Democrats have signed on with him, according to the Washington Examiner<\/a>;<\/p>\n

The bill prohibits the \u201csale, transfer, production, and importation\u201d of semi-automatic rifles and pistols that can hold a detachable magazine, as well as semi-automatic rifles with a magazine that can hold more than 10 rounds. Additionally, the legislation bans the sale, transfer, production, and importation of semi-automatic shotguns with features such as a pistol grip or detachable stock, and ammunition feeding devices that can hold more than 10 rounds.<\/p>\n

Cicilline\u2019s legislation names 205 specific firearms that are prohibited, including the AK-47 and AR-15.<\/p>\n

\u201cAssault weapons were made for one purpose,\u201d Cicilline said in a statement. \u201cThey are designed to kill as many people as possible in a short amount of time. They do not belong in our communities.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I guess Democrats were upset that firearms sales were sluggish last year, so they’re scare-mongering to get folks to make those purchases now.<\/p>\n

This won’t pass, not because of NRA money, but because Americans largely oppose bans on weapons. Besides, who do these fascists think they are to tell me I can’t sell my legal firearms? What kind of unAmerican crap is that?<\/p>\n
