What percentage of lawful .50 cal owners “negatively impacted” victims before you banned them, you ungrateful son of a Nazi?

What percentage of lawful .50 cal owners “negatively impacted” victims before you banned them, you ungrateful son of a Nazi?
That’s right. In one vote, this bill went from targeting .50 caliber rifles to banning all semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines, adding new definitions like “assault shotgun” and “fixed magazine,” restricting magazine capacity, and even creating new criminal penalties. [More]
And this crap will continue to happen because SCOTUS allows it and keeps sending mixed signals.
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 “Kingpin Act”).
Prohibiting the distribution of firearms, either through sale or transfer, to individuals sanctioned under the Kingpin Act, and incorporating Kingpin Act designations into the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). Mandating that firearms dealers report multiple sales of rifles to state and local law enforcement agencies, mirroring the current requirement for handguns. [More]
And what do they credit for getting their foot in the door?
…legislation that builds on the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act…
The traitor Durbin introduced this in ’23.
0% chance of being enacted
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?
No worries: He still got their endorsement.

I’m surprised it’s taken that long, considering the opposition has been flaccid for over 20 years.
