Assault Weapons Ban - Part 2

So, I've posted about this before, but I just got done reading the text of the bill that Rep. McCarthy about reintroducing the Assault Weapons ban and it just pisses me off to no end. What she aims to do is criminalize guns that are completely legal now and outlaw me from purchasing guns that are legal right this second. Let me explain something, and I want to be perfectly clear: Assault weapons account for such an insignificant portion of crime, it's almost immeasurable.

Do you think that a person who's a criminal is going to care that what he buys on the black market is legal or not? It doesn't make a difference and will only cost law abiding citizens time and money and is only being done to further the political career of Rep. McCarthy.

She also wants to define these weapons as "A semiautomatic rifle or shotgun originally designed for military or law enforcement use, or a firearm based on the design of such a firearm, that is not particularly suitable for sporting purposes, as determined by the Attorney General."

So the AR-15 that I LEGALLY own would then become illegal if I ever decide to sell it. It would also allow the Attorney General, a man whom has already questioned Constitutional rights, to ban any gun he sees fit that is not "sporting". They have "grandfathered" in provisions that would make my current ownership legal, but any transfer would be illegal.

This is a blatant attempt by some nutjob who thinks that she can encroach on the Second Amendment rights of law abiding American citizens and it must be stopped immediately.

Take note, do you know the reason why this country has never had a full scale invasion by any foreign nation? An armed populace. We have the right to bear arms. The Second Amendment makes no mention of any restrictions on the types of weapons or even who can own such weapons.

The first Assault Weapons ban did ZERO to prevent crime and only made prices of existing pre-ban weapons skyrocket, costing law abiding gun collectors thousands of dollars.
