(22,149 posts)Biden did it before, let's do it again, even if it includes stomping on rethuglican bullshit.
"Then-senator Joe Bidens signature crime bill had ground its way through Congress after months of tedious effort. But after an unexpected flare-up over guns raised the threat of a filibuster, the lawmaker from Delaware took the Senate floor for an impassioned plea.
We can vote to keep these deadly military-style assault weapons on the streets, where we know they have one purpose and one purpose only killing other human beings, Biden said that evening in November 1993. Or we can vote to take these deadly military-style assault weapons off our streets. The choice is that simple. The choice is that stark.
Later that night, after a vote showed a majority of senators wanted to add an assault weapons ban to the bill, he looked at his Republican colleagues and offered a modest taunt: Why not lose gracefully?

as long as a round is advanced each time the trigger is pulled, all style weapons are equally effective at killing people.
So this bill is nothing more than eyewash and does little to stop the carnage. Ban semiautomatic weapons period and it might save some lives, but I cant see that ever happening. Make all new weapons single shot and limit ammo storage to three rounds and we might get somewhere.
In about 500 years when most semi autos and large capacity ammo clips have rusted away.
