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.""

The bill would not have passed if the Republicans had voted against passage.
(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.
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.
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.
