Democrats’ ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban Prohibits 205 Different Firearms

AWR Hawkins 6 Dec 2023

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) put forward an “assault weapons” ban Wednesday that would prohibit Americans from buying at least 205 different firearms.

The United States Conference of Mayors noted Schumer’s “assault weapons” ban is a reintroduction of a gun ban put forward by the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA).

On Monday, Breitbart News reported Schumer’s intentions to bring an “assault weapons” ban to the Senate floor this week.

On Wednesday morning, Schumer announced today is the day:

FOX News noted that Schumer asked for “unanimous consent” on the “assault weapons” ban, which allows passage without a formal vote.

Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) stood on the Senate floor to block the bill Wednesday, noting that “Democrats defunded the police– now they want to disarm the American people.”

There were nearly 25 million AR/AK-style rifles in circulation on June 21, 2022, at which time the National Shooting Sports Foundation observed there were more AR/AK-style firearms in circulation “than Ford F-Series trucks on the road.”

The number of AR/AK-style rifles in circulation is certainly much higher now.

Dang it! If all those weapons would just stop walking around shooting people we wouldn't need this legislation.

Sen. John Barrasso: Democrats Defunded Police, Now They Are Pushing to Disarm Americans

AWR Hawkins 6 Dec 2023

Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) countered Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) push for an “assault weapons” ban Wednesday by noting that “Democrats defunded the police, and now they want to disarm the American people.”

Barrasso said, “Democrats are demanding that the American people give up their liberty.”

He made it clear that the Democrat-sponsored “assault weapons” ban “takes away a right.”

Barrasso noted:

    Democrats want Washington to ban rifles and pistols because of the way they look. To do this, they describe semi-automatic rifles as “assault rifles,” [but] they aren’t. These rifles work the same way as popular shotguns and other rifles used for hunting and personal protection. Instead of facing these facts, Democrats stick to demonizing rifles and disrespecting gun owners.

He concluded, “I oppose any policies that jeopardize the Second Amendment rights of the people of Wyoming and the people across this country. The Second Amendment is freedom’s essential safeguard.”
