This one appears to be a stand alone bill unrelated to the AWB. Sorry if dupe

My new hobby; every time I read an article (more so when my rep is in it) that pisses me off, I send and email to my representation in the House and Senate.

interesting:
CORRECTION: This article previously stated that no Republicans have expressed support for a ban on high-capacity magazines. A reader points out that Rep. Tom Petri (R-Wis.) has called such legislation "helpful," while incoming Rep. Chris Stewart (R-Utah) said he would "consider looking at some of the larger magazines" as a response to the Newtown shootings. |

We are working on a 5 round mag limit here in NJ right now. That is right, wheel guns will be the new "assault rifles" here if/when that passes.
One step at a time folks, they are taking our rights away. |

"I'm not so naïve as to think that we can pass some law that will stop a deranged person from taking a gun and shooting people," DeGette told The Huffington Post two weeks ago.
Yes, Ms. DeGette, you are that naive. Hence, your support for this stupid bill. |

Why stop at five, I'm writing the New Jersey state reps to ban anything over one. I mean what sensible gun owner needs more than one shot for hunting? You know, what sensible hunter needs a gun? A bow is a better weapon anyway.

I have to admit it's fun to watch these fucwits repeat history. For one thing it won't pass the house so I'm not worried. That said the mid terms will be coming up in less than 2 years. The Dems have done an outstanding job firing up the GOP base in recent weeks. I look for a good old fashioned ass-whooping like in '94.
It will be fun to see the great 0bungo get the news the day after the midterms...all because he and his minions went full retard on guns.....again. The strategists warned the Dems not long ago that when it came to guns just 2 words *shut-up*...but they won't listen. Yeah, keep going full retard baby....

There will be a series of this sort of bill this session. Every time they make a push, they put several bills and amendments out there, hoping one/some will pass. Standard liberal tactic. Still dangerous, and we'd better pay close attention to every one of them.

From Chris Stewart's Facebook page earlier today:
Hey friends!
I've received a lot of phone calls today regarding a few articles and I think it's necessary to make myself clear: I fully support the right to keep and bear arms as stated in the Second Amendment and I don't support any abridgment to that right. I will fight any attempts to weaken our 2nd amendment rights. I do not believe that limiting assault weapons nor magazine capacities is appropriate under the Second Amendment. Furthermore, I do not believe that taking such steps would have any practical effect on limiting gun violence. I was very clear on these points throughout the interview with the Salt Lake Tribune. However, as happens too often, the story took one observation I made about the usefulness of high-capacity magazines and turned it into a headline that did not reflect my actual views. Not everything you read in the press accurately reflects my positions and I will stumble sometimes as well. Thanks for all the outreach, and I'll try to respond to each of your messages. Best Wishes, https://www.facebook.com/ChrisStewartforCongress?ref=stream |

And the incoming representative criticized the proposed arming of teachers, calling it "a bad idea," in his most extensive comments on the gun debate sparked by the Newtown, Conn., school shooting.
Stewart takes the oath of office on Jan. 3 and will enter the U.S. House as a Republican, a former Air Force pilot and a self-described "Second Amendment guy." He’s also the son and brother of teachers. "Most of these teachers have no interest or no background that would give them any comfort at all being the primary source of defense," he said on Thursday, the same day the Utah Shooting Sports Council provided free concealed-weapons training to more than 150 Utah educators and school employees. Stewart also expressed his skepticism of the National Rifle Association’s push to have an armed guard or police officer in every public school. "A lot of people are not comfortable having armed guards at grade schools," said Stewart, who thought doing so would also be an expensive undertaking. The NRA has suggested it would cost $2 billion to place armed guards in schools, although in a CNN interview on Thursday, NRA President David Keene clarified the group’s stance, saying each school should decide how to protect its students. The NRA endorsed Stewart in Utah’s 2nd Congressional District — which contains all of Salt Lake City and runs south to St. George — after giving him a 92 percent rating on its annual scorecard. http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/politics/55535097-90/armed-control-gun-health.html.csp |

Stewart declined to take a position on a proposed assault-weapons ban, supported by President Barack Obama, until he was able to see the details.
Utah’s five other members of Congress oppose an assault-weapons ban and have not voiced support for any specific gun-control measure since the Newtown shootings, though Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, appeared on ABC’s This Week and said the nation should talk about "the intersection of a lethal weapon and how it relates to mental health." |

Best Wishes, If you are at all familiar with Utah and its news media you already know that The Salt Lake Tribune is a liberal rag of the first magnitude. The make up shit all the time. Their misquotes and misstatements with no retractions are legendary. However we in Utah are watching Chris Stewart very closely and will kick him in the ass every time he even thinks of getting out of line on the Second Amendment. In Utah we have no problem booting incumbents out on their butts if they stray off the reservation. Don't think so? Ask former incumbent Senator Bob Bennett along time Republican who got dumped in a caucus fight in 2010, he didn't even make it to primary. Ask Chris Cannon a 6 term Republican congressman who got too big for his britches and more or less told his constituents to take a hike. We dumped his sorry ass and replaced him with Jason Chaffetz of Fast & Furious fame. I'll give Chris Stewart this one strike (if he was quoted correctly by the Salt lake Tribune). But one strike only. One more anti Second Amendment statement and he'll find his ass primaried 18 months from now. I can guarantee you he will be a one term wonder. |
