Senator Murphy: Congress ready for ban on assault weapons, high-capacity magazine clips

any republican voting for this must be ready for retirement

Just proves they have no idea what they're talking about.

There is no such thing as a "magazine clip" or "magazine gun clips".

Stupid bastards.

And so it begins....Bye all

from another post
WASHINGTON — The powerful gun lobby is gauging enough support in Congress to block a law that would ban assault weapons, despite promises from the White House and senior lawmakers to make such a measure a reality.

Senators plan to introduce a bill that would ban assault weapons and limit the size of ammunition magazines, like the one used in the December shooting massacre that killed 27 people, most of them children, in Newtown, Conn. Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California has promised to push for a renewal of expired legislation.

The National Rifle Association has so far prevented passage of another assault weapons ban like the one that expired in 2004. But some lawmakers say the Newtown tragedy has transformed the country, and Americans are ready for stricter gun laws. President Barack Obama has made gun control a top priority. And on Tuesday Vice President Joe Biden is expected to give Obama a comprehensive package of recommendations for curbing gun violence.

Still, the NRA has faith that Congress would prevent a new weapons ban.

“When a president takes all the power of his office, if he’s willing to expend political capital, you don’t want to make predictions. You don’t want to bet your house on the outcome. But I would say that the likelihood is that they are not going to be able to get an assault weapons ban through this Congress,” NRA president David Keene told CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., responded with a flat out “no” when asked on CBS’ “Face the Nation” whether Congress would pass a ban on assault weapons.

Democratic West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, a lifelong member of the NRA has said everything should be on the table to prevent another tragedy like Newtown. But he assured gun owners he would fight for gun rights at the same time. “I would tell all of my friends in NRA, I will work extremely hard and I will guarantee you there will not be an encroachment on your Second Amendment rights,” Manchin said on ABC’s “This Week.”

The NRA’s deep pockets help bolster allies and punish lawmakers who buck them. The group spent at least $24 million in the 2012 elections — $16.8 million through its political action committee and nearly $7.5 million through its affiliated Institute for Legislative Action.

Sen. Chris Murphy on Sunday said there is growing momentum in Congress for a ban on so-called assault weapons, saying lawmakers’ attitudes toward gun control have changed significantly in the wake of last month’s shooting rampage in Newtown, Conn.


Well there it is. The Lawmakers, not the US citizens that pay them their fat salaries, have decided for those Millions of Little Americans that guns are bad for them because THEIR 'Attitudes' have changed while watching a wide screen TV at their exclusive, financially segregated and safe, Country Clubs.

One Lawmaker said: "One must ensure that those little taxpayers at the front-line of violent crime should learn Kung-Fu instead of owning guns...My staff all know Kung-Fu, and have no firearms that I've noticed...When I get bored being safe in my 15 Bedroom Cottage, I gather the security together and we all jazz-a-cise to my favorite tune..



It's such jolly gay fun!

I just did.

Done, thanks ET!

Flat out lie.

Lawmaker's think citizens' attitudes have changed, and the lawmakers think they can squeeze in their fascist dreams of a disarmed peasantry now that the MSM is dry-humping Obama's gun-ban leg.

This is complete disinformation.

There will be no AWB.

There will be no HICAP ban

There will be no closing the erroneously named "gun show" loophole.

There will be nothing, absolutely nothing that is going to make it to the dictators desk that is anything more than a few hollow, feel good, completely irrelevant laws, conjured up to make it seem like the commies are "doing something" about gun control.

I agree with you and I like the way you phrased it.

Um, aren't these two statements conflicting if he's saying EVERYTHING should be on the table?

Sounds like he wants to define your 2nd amendment rights so he don't infringe upon them.

Another democrat who thinks the 2nd amendment is just for hunting rabbits.

Hmm, that could be a bad thing...

How are they going to ban clips over 10 rounds when anybody with a 3d printer can make them?

Yup.

OK then so change the name to 'defense weapon'....
problem solved..it's all a matter of prospective..:)

Congress is playing with fire here.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: You can take a lot of things away from Americans without any push back.......but we wont allow someone to take our guns!

It's what holds the cop-killer bullets in semi-automatic machine guns.

Maybe a "magazine gun clip" is a brief video excerpt of "Guns and Ammo".

No. That would be a "gun magazine clip".

I'm stumped.

I meant magazines, as clips is the wrong term but whatever.
