Welps, guess it's time to start laying the ground work to smuggle magazines in from Mexico.  


Hopefully the bill is thick enough that it hurts when it gets shoved up their collective asses.  

HR 308

Why do the always pick gun terms for these bills?

Odds of it passing?  I'm thinking around 5%

They are all D for dirty democrap next to their name, that makes sense!

Doubt it'll be constitutional anyway.

Notice anything communist odd about that list of sponsors?

"Tyranny is defined as that which is legal for the government but illegal for the citizenry."



-Thomas Jefferson

Yeah, that's not gonna get out of committee.

its the FAIL boat of gun control failure and it's full of FAIL

For the most part,  places that have already banned them at the state or local level.

And most of those from states widely known as "Worker's Paradises".

Not gonna happen.

 

Ten years prison time for defying the agenda of those bastards.

Nice way to make criminals out of decent American Citizens with the stroke of a pen.

Thankfully, it'll never be enacted into law.

Hell, at least my state isn't listed

Fortunately, Heller II, which is pending before the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, covers this very issue.

God I hope so.  This NY AWB is fucking bullshit.

Note those names boys.

In a couple of years, we should be able to send at least a few of those scumbags home in shame.

Weren't the last two HR 1022 and HR 45?

10 years in federal pound-you-in-the-ass prison for owning a fucking inanimate object and being a victimless "crime".









 

It'll die in committee, just like all the others.

Not going to happen.

It'll probably be enough to incite a small panic, and the price increases that accompany it.

how long before it dies??????

I don't see a single [R] on the list of co-sponsers.....

DOA

That's what I was thinking, they are not biased at all.

D= democRAT

Well if you own it before the ban then you are fine, luckily, mags have no serial number and therefore can not be traced to a before or after date, making this a complete waste of time.

DOA.

They don't have a prayers chance in hell with it.

wait guys the exemptions say for possession by the united states...that is all of us
it is still we the people right?

Egypt.

Probably won't pass.



Unless Giffords is up and around enough to make a statement AND she is swayed by the Brady bunch and the Dems to become a full blown anti.



Then IMO it stands a pretty good chance of passage.



Or it gets passed by some form of trickery (86 MG ban springs to mind).

Pull Newyakistan and Kalifornigrad from that list and you reduce it by 75%.

So I see this has become the new "HR 45 Blair Holt Act".  Will we be seeing this posted every time someone gets it forwarded to them in an email for the next 4 years?

The libtard way of thinking is deteriorating rapidly.
First it was the guns who kill people, now it's the extra round in the magazine, the 11th round and up to be exact.

how the living fuck could that many dems not know that a mag change takes about two seconds and a second gun takes even less time?

SSHHHH! Don't tell them that, they will be back on guns.
