US House Passes Assault Weapons Ban - Canada Unveils "Mandatory" AR-15 Buyback Program

Excerpt:
"On Friday, the US House of Representatives passed an assault weapons ban (217-213 vote included 215 Democrats and two Republicans, with five Democrats voting against the bill). However, the bill is all optics for Democrats ahead of midterm elections in November with low probabilities of passing the Senate. The bill bans importing, selling, manufacturing, or transferring semi-automatic assault weapons.

History provides alarming proof that when regimes disarm their citizens, a slippery slope of the loss of liberties soon follows. Just look how communist Cuba turned out...

George Mason of Virginia, the father of the Bill of Rights, famously warned Americans that disarming the people is "the best and most effective way to enslave them.""

    I think we need to fund $50 billion for AR15's to be air dropped into Canada.
    (That's a lot less than the morons in DC have thrown away in Afghanistan or Ukraine.)
    That would be about 100 million basic AR15's.
    Buying them for $133.7 billion could then bankrupt the Canadian government.

    Odd that they are OK with Garands.
    Given the choice between being on the receiving end of .30 caliber or .223 I’ll take the latter every time. But......oh well......we AIM to please.

    Now that they have banned the weapons, they can confiscate them. Here we go. I don't like this one bit. When will they ban sidearms? Shotguns? We won't even be able to go hunt deer with our 30/30's.

      We get the message. They want all weapons. Cannot control an armed citizenship. Those two RHINO"S are NOT Republicans. They are liars and cowards. Everyone better wake up to the Grand Plan for a One World Government.

    This bill is a first step, not banning ownership. Destructocrats know they can't do it all at once. Little by little. They are posturing before the midterms, due to the "Do Something" mentality. No one with any of the listed weapons is obligated to give them up. But this is a big whack at the tree of weapon ownership, many more whacks to come from the Whackocrats. If the RePubeicans take the Congress, will they invalidate this bill, or leave it in place...?

      The first step was over 88 years ago.
      It was unconstitutional then and every gun control law passed by con-gresses since
      is unconstitutional. This bill is nearly the last step.
      We must stand up for our rights, not let any politicians take them away, or accept slavery
      since that is what the politicians of both major parties have planned for us.

        The other theory I entertain is they want to start an un civil war. About 40% of Democrats and 60% of Republicans own firearms. So yeah kinda obvious who might win, but really, if Americans start slaughtering each other, Klaus and the Globalists win...How might the government instigate such a war? And then they'll declare martial law, and Klaus will suck on his weinerschnitzels and watch us all die.
