‘Death Wish’: House Democrats May Try To Pass An ‘Assault Weapon’ Ban With GOP Support

Faced with internal opposition, Democratic Party leadership in the House of Representatives may attempt to pass an “assault weapons” ban with support from outgoing Republicans.

Rhode Island Rep. David Cicilline introduced the Assault Weapons Ban of 2021 Act in March of that year, although the bill has not yet passed out of the House Judiciary Committee. In practice, the legislation would ban most semi-automatic weapons, including AR-15s. More than 200 Democrats in the lower chamber are co-sponsors of the legislation, but Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has a margin of only four votes to pass the legislation.

Two moderate Democrats, Jared Golden of Maine and Henry Cuellar of Texas, have already come out against the legislation, while others facing competitive GOP challengers remain undecided. Golden and outgoing Oregon Rep. Kurt Schrader were the only Democrats to vote against the Protecting Our Kids Act, which would prohibit individuals under the age of 21 from possessing semi-automatic rifles.

Other swing-district Democrats are undecided, but unlikely to support the bill. Those include Texas Rep. Vicente Gonzalez, Oregon Rep. Kurt Schrader and Arizona Rep. Tom O’Halleran, according to Punchbowl News.

“This is a bill that destroyed the Democrats in 1994. I guess, do we really have a death wish list as Democrats?” Schrader, who lost his primary in May, told Politico.

Something else for the Supreme Court to throw out.

Exactly. The Bruen case took care of that.

It would probably take two years before the Supreme Court would hear the case.
In the meantime, the "gun recovery units" could do a lot of damage...

Democrats realize the time to ring every drop of woke agendas out of Biden woke endings come ever clearer.  The fanatically support, behind closed doors, but fear consequences should that ever be realized by the public,

I have a feeling that would not be a good career choice. This is the hill many Americans are willing to take a stand on.

Recall what the British were up to when they, the premier armed force in the world, provoked what would prove to cost them their American Colonies.

It won't take that long. It will have injunctions from federal courts put on it immediately.
