Democrats looking for another way to disarm Americans

[Cellblock2429]

I’ve seen the Dems / Bolsheviks float this tactic before. They will try to impose outrageous taxes on various firearms as another incremental step toward their hopes to disarm the public.

It’s another desperate attempt to make firearms unavailable as their other tactics attempting to ban various firearms have been rejected by the courts.

As usual, the Dems / Bolsheviks don’t understand that criminals aren’t concerned with paying taxes so this nonsense will have no affect on crime rates.

Democrats demand 1,000% excise tax on ‘assault weapons,’ high-capacity magazines

More than two dozen House Democrats put forward legislation Friday that would impose a 1,000% tax on "assault weapons" and high-capacity magazines.

More than two dozen House Democrats put forward legislation Friday that would slap "assault weapons" and high-capacity magazines with a 1,000% excise tax, a change that would raise the price of a $500 weapon to $5,000 in a bid to reduce access to guns across the country.

/----/ democRATs will chip away at our liberties until we are Venezuela.

What Republicans have supported laws making it harder to keep guns out of the wrong hands?

Not true. By enabling and facilitating lawlessness, the Dems / Marxists have spurred the sales of firearms.

Even the leftist propaganda arm has admitted the reality of leftist policies:

Here’s the real telling part though. There has been a shift in sales to rifles such as the AR’s and handguns. These are firearms people are using for personal protection.

Hey, great job avoiding the question asked.. completely!

I was given no examples of republicans supporting laws making it harder to keep guns out of the wrong hands?

Do you have any examples?

 

[JGalt]

Hey, great job avoiding the question asked.. completely!

There are already plenty of laws to keep guns out of the wrong hands, the liberals and Democrats just refuse to enforce them.

Case in point: Why hasn't Hunter Biden been charged with being a drug user in the possession of a firearm and lying on the BATF form to purchase a handgun? The usual response from the left is "The DOJ rarely ever sentences anyone for that."

Well why the fuck not?

Every Republican........the democrats keep making it easier for criminals to get guns and carry them....

California Democrats hate the gun, not the gunman – Orange County Register

Now that Democrats have supermajorities in the California state Legislature, they’ve rolled into Sacramento with a zest for lowering the state’s prison population and have interpreted St. Augustine’s words of wisdom to mean, “Hate the gun, not the gunman.”

I say this because, once they finally took a break from preaching about the benefits of stricter gun control, the state Senate voted to loosen sentencing guidelines for criminals convicted of gun crimes.

Currently, California law requires anyone who uses a gun while committing a felony to have their sentence increased by 10 years or more in prison — on top of the normal criminal penalty. If enacted, Senate Bill 620 would eliminate that mandate.

The bill, which passed on a 22-14 party-line vote, with support only from Democrats, now heads to the state Assembly for consideration.

Republicans and the National Rifle Association have vowed to campaign against it.

Why have Democrats suddenly developed a soft spot for criminals convicted of gun crimes? The bill’s author, state Sen. Steve Bradford, D-Gardena, says that he was motivated to write the bill after a 17-year-old riding in a car involved in a drive-by shooting was sentenced to 25 years in prison, even though he claims that he wasn’t the one who pulled the trigger.

Prop. 57, for example, very deceptively and fundamentally changed the definition of what constitutes a “non-violent” offense.

The republicans in this state opposing the democrats ....

Washington state...



So why are Washington Democrats offering up a bill in the state legislature to lower the penalties for drive-by shootings? Well, there’s woke and then there’s just plain stupid. Washington state Democrats are vying to become the best stupid they can be, bless ’em.

Currently, Washington law holds that a drive-by shooter should get an aggravated enhancement if he is arrested and prosecuted—and that’s a big if. Such an enhancement could land a drive-by murderer a life prison sentence.

But under a bill proposed for the upcoming Washington state legislature by white, woke ex-con state Rep. Tarra Simmons and her co-sponsor David Hackney, the reduction in penalties is a move toward “racial equity.” That’s right, drive-by shooting prosecutorial outcomes are racist. Never mind all the black and brown people who are the disproportionate victims of drive-by shootings.

Washington State Democrats Want Decreased Penalties for Drive-By Shooters Because... Aw, You Guessed

So you admit to not addressing August's question.. at all. Well, that's a start, I suppose..

I addressed it asshole.........republicans support all the current laws that punish criminals who use guns in a crime..while democrats keep reducing the sentences for gun criminals......

California



“If a gun is used during a violent felony offense – such as a robbery – California’s ‘10-20-Life’ gun enhancement applies,” it said. “A 10-year enhancement is available for any use of a gun, which is increased to 20 years if the gun is discharged, and to 25-to-life if great bodily injury or death occurs.”

AB 1509, as the bill is known, would eliminate the use of most gun enhancements and significantly reduce the others, modifying them from 10-20-life to 1-2-3 years.

So you admit to making false assumptions.

All the republicans as the democrats keep reducing the sentences for actual gun crimes.

What you want is gun bans, and confiscations......which do nothing....while the democrats release violent gun offenders over and over again......these offenders are the ones shooting people. Normal gun owners with their legal guns are not shooting people...but those are the people you want to target....while the actual criminals are released by the democrats....

There is no hope of passing this 'bill'. They could not get a majority to vote for it when the house was a dem majority.
Pure theatre folks. Pure election theatre for the stupid. The stupid vote is powerful, nobody can win an election without the stupid vote.
