JSR Report post Posted March 12, 2021 While they distracted you with the promise of giving you $1400 of your own money the house passed an assault weapon ban. They also have the votes to pass it in the senate. They also have other bills they will vote on that prohibits the private sale of guns, ammo tax, yearly tax stamps for all guns, etc but enjoy your $1400. Thats a lot of beer, weed and tats. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tight Guy Report post Posted March 12, 2021 Oldest trick in the book. Look we are giving everyone $1400, while they rob us blind and steal our rights. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Curtis Reed Report post Posted March 12, 2021 Link to annual gun tax? I have not heard anything about that and cannot find any info on that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JSR Report post Posted March 12, 2021 I read it on NRA website. I think they have not officially introduced the bill yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rossislider Report post Posted March 12, 2021 While we should all be concerned, there is some missing info here. First, this bill isn't an assault weapons ban, it is an expansion of background checks, largely focused on private sales. Second, to pass, they need 60 votes in the Senate to pass it. At this time they are well short of 60 in the 50/50 split senate. In order to bring the number down from 60 to a simple majority, they would need to get rid of the filibuster, which at this time is what we should be more concerned about. As long as the filibuster rules are in place, it is going to be really tough to pass their firearms reform. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although the future isn’t bright, the NRA likes to use info like this to bring in revenue (memberships/donations). 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that happens then only a simple majority would prevail. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JSR Report post Posted March 12, 2021 It only takes 51 votes to pass a bill. It takes 60 to end the debate on the bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GreyGhost85 Report post Posted March 12, 2021 We need to be real concerned about Halaand being sworn in as well. you cannot be pro public land but anti firearms. The different groups that support her are extremely concerning as well. Make sure to support the right groups. some of her concerning supporters/donors are: Backcountry Hunters and Anglers (they need to go away), National Deer Association, NWTF, pope and young, whitetails unlimited, wildlife forever, Archery Trade Association, Ducks Unlimited. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed, I do support most of what the NRA stands for. But if anyone is being completely honest, they do love a little fear mongering to drum up the support and funds. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As already pointed out, this is fake news. They absolutely did NOT pass an "assault weapon ban". (Did you actually read that some where???) The bills have to do with expanding background checks for private/internet sales and giving more time for background checks. Not saying I support either one. I'm just a fan of real and accurate information, as opposed to fear-mongering. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TylerDurden Report post Posted March 12, 2021 The House passed two bills. HR 8 requires a background check on a private transfers. It was passed in the House on 3/11/21 by a 227-203 vote. HR 1446 increases the background check time period. It was passed in the House on 3/11/21 by a 219-210 vote. Also, Sen. Feinstein is introducing an "Assault Weapons Ban" that would ban the sale of "assault weapons," limits magazine capacity to 10 rounds, and imposes other regulations. Current owners of "assault weapons" and "high capacity" magazines would be grandfathered in (but likely taxed on these items).
