The Stop Arming Cartels Act of 2024 will address these challenges by: Banning the manufacture, importation, sale, transfer, or possession of .50 caliber rifles excluding governmental use of these arms. Regulating .50 caliber rifles that are currently possessed lawfully under the National Firearms Act, by assigning a fee waiver and 12-month grace period to register on the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record. Establishing an exception to the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), enabling victims of gun violence to sue manufacturers and dealers who engage in firearm transactions that violate the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act (the āKingpin Actā).

Mandating that firearms dealers report multiple sales of rifles to state and local law enforcement agencies, mirroring the current requirement for handguns. [More]

It’s useful to know that this is part of the longterm plan, but for now our energies are better focused on more immediate threats. Still, it’s not inappropriate to remind people who weren’t around when .50s first started coming under organized attack how obnoxiously idiotic it was trying to “defend” owning .50s to the DSM as a “hobby” while simultaneously throwing hard core 2A activists under the bus.
With “pro-gun leadership” like that, is it any wonder the dual citizenship Hessian banned them in CA?

So how come he endorsed Joe Biden?
“Respect it”? Isn’t that what every gun-grabber claims to do, right before showing us their big “but”…?
Explain 2A to us, Dwayne. Now explain which infringements you view as “commonsense” and “reasonable.”
Low information gun owners easily enthused by meaningless buzzwords from self-serving celebrities remind me of nothing so much as this:

“Allowed…”?
Ah, the old “rights are granted” fraud. That this ignoranus is sitting on a federal bench is an obscene travesty.

No conflict of interest there, right?
[W]hile in the legislature, I championed gun safety laws including a bill proposing gun owners carry liability insurance
Aside from no insurance policy covering willful criminal and negligent acts, guess who they can’t require to get insurance, because to force them to admit they had guns would violate the Fifth Amendment…
