The “assault weapons” ban legislation that passed the House Judiciary Committee Wednesday not only prohibits AR-15s and AK-47s, but numerous semiautomatic pistols and shotguns as well. [More]
See? They don’t want ALL guns! Just these.
For now.
When Fractions of a Second Count
The fingerprint reader unlocks the gun in microseconds, but since it may not work when wet or in other adverse conditions, the PIN pad is there as a backup. LodeStar did not demonstrate the near-field communication signal, but it would act as a secondary backup, enabling the gun as quickly as users can open the app on their phones. [More]
Second time this morning I’ve channeled my inner Family Guy…
I may have to reconsider my position on suing gun manufacturers…

But with just over two months before the first round of voting, opinion surveys widely show Brazilians think they’d be better off without Bolsonaro. Frustration over the spiraling cost of living has propelled Lula to lead the race by more than 10 percentage points. [More]
And what will be one of the first things Lula does when he’s back in power…?
‘Active Shooter Alert’ Bill, Designed to Scare, Draws in GOP Traitors and Suckers
You can find out who the GOP turncoats are via the House Clerk’s recorded votes tally to see if your representative made the Dishonor Roll, either because he’s negligently ignorant, because he’s a proven embedded enemy (like the 15 Republican co-sponsors who have betrayed us before), or because he’s a pandering coward dumb enough to believe this will earn him media props and kudos from “our friends across the aisle” for being reasonable. [More]
With Republicans like these, who needs Democrats?

Meanwhile, Over at the Department of Shoulder Things That Go Up
Rep Cicilline on stabilizing braces: “When attached here, it turns this weapon into an automatic weapon. It becomes a bump stock, and so it will allow that to essentially be fired like an automatic weapon. That’s the danger.” [More]

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word ‘Minor’ Is
Lawyer Jim Trusty, former chief of the DOJ’s Organized Crime Section, said reports that the investigation is coming to an end suggests that Hunter will be hit with minor tax charges and for making false statements when purchasing a handgun in 2018. [More]
Purchasing two handguns, actually, if anyone in authority is interested in, you know, investigating. And for each instance:
The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993, ushered into law by then-Sen. Joe Biden, at the time chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, made Form 4473 a key part of background checks for gun purchases mandated by the law.
Lying on the form is a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. For being a user of unlawful drugs in possession of a firearm, the punishment is up to five years.
I’ll have to ask Stephen Stamboulieh if Hunter pleads out what that will do to my ATF complaint.
