BAN THE GUNS: Senate Dems Never Seem to Tire of Their Performative Gun-Grabbing Kabuki

Senator Adam Schiff

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) joined Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and other Democrats on Wednesday to reintroduce an assault weapons ban, a proposal to prohibit the purchase and possession of high-powered semiautomatic firearms, such as the popular AR-15 rifle.

The bill has virtually no chance of becoming law because Republicans control the White House and both chambers of Congress, but Democrats see it as an important marker in the gun control debate in Washington, which has seen little movement since the 1994 assault weapons ban expired more than 20 years ago.

Schiff and his Democratic colleagues will appear with advocates from several gun-control groups, including Brady, Giffords and Newtown Action Alliance to announce the legislation at a press conference on Capitol Hill on Wednesday afternoon.

  1. There’s no downside to this for Dems. It’s very popular with their constituents. I assume some of the gun control groups contribute to Schiff’s campaign. He has to show them something.

    All we can do is educate independents and non-indoctrinated, logical Dem voters. I’m sure there are a few out there.

    1. “logical Dem voters”
      I used to believe that such a thing existed but now I’m not so sure….

      1. Mark Pincus, a tech billionaire who supported Biden in 2020, told “The All-In Podcast” this week that learning Donald Trump was taken out of context regarding the “very fine” people in Charlottesville was a “red-pill moment” for him.

        “It wasn’t just the media or politicians spinning it. That speech was one of the pillars of why you were supposed to hate Trump. You see Biden say that’s why he had to run a second time, and you see Obama say it, and Biden brings it up again at the DNC.”

        Pincus is obviously an intelligent and logical person. He was a Democrat because he lived in their propaganda bubble. It’s difficult to reach those people because they’ve been led to believe that anything disputing their lies is the propaganda. Some people are so far gone that you can show them proof, and it won’t matter (see Yuri Bezmenov’s explanation). But there are still plenty of logical people out there that are ignorant.

      2. The only logical Democrats are the ones actively grifting and who know the score.
        The rest are useful idiots.
        Example, the few Democrat voting gun owners I know. Their attitude is: “well, I’ll just ignore the law” if any bans or restrictions come to pass.

        In their minds the whole of government serves to take stuff from the “other” and give it to them. Anything they don’t like which may come attached to that they think they’ll just ignore.

        Children. Every last one.

        1. You’d be surprised by how many people fall for the fake empathy and morality of the Dem party. Elon Musk is an example. He said you voted Dem because they were the nice party. He had to be personally impacted before he noticed how evil they are.

    2. the major downside for the d-party is that they will keep losing if they keep focusing on loser issues like gun grabbing.

      Prosecutor implies imprisoned cancer patient [Matt Hoover] is lying about being sick – no “compassionate” release.

      (CORRECTION: The person denying early release is the PROSECUTOR, not the JUDGE as stated in the video. The prosecutor is the same one who originally prosecuted the case, the always-egregious Biden-ATF-lockstepper Laura Cofer Taylor)

    Trump DOJ Seizes Ultra-Rare Springfield Armory Rifle Missing Since 1980s ~ VIDEO.

    “SPRINGFIELD, MA – One of the rarest U.S. military rifles ever made — missing for nearly 40 years — is now back in federal custody, after an FBI investigation led to its recent seizure from a private collector.

    The rifle in question is a U.S. Springfield Model 1868 Trapdoor Saddle Ring Carbine, serial number 1444. Only four of these prototype cavalry carbines were ever built by the Springfield Armory in 1869 and 1870 as the U.S. Army was looking for new post-Civil War weaponry. Two stayed in the armory’s collection, one landed at the Smithsonian, and the last was believed to be in private hands.

    That missing fourth gun is now at the center of a civil forfeiture case filed by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Massachusetts, which alleges the carbine was stolen from the Springfield Armory National Historic Site sometime before 1985 — and hidden away in collector circles ever since.

  3. The political left doesn’t necessarily want to actually ban guns, they simply want to keep the issue alive. The issue is a funding system which lines their pockets. Schiff is a proven liar, but he keeps getting re-elected by ignorant “useful idiots” in California.
