While literately nothing else is known at this point, look for a narrative-forced emphasis on “assault weapons.”
Once more facts come out and the rest of the preferred narrative doesn’t materialize, look for other factors that aren’t as exploitable to be downplayed and ignored.
Bush AG Gonzales’ Proves Authoritarian Swamp Republicans No Different From Democrats

Conflict of Interest? What Conflict of Interest?
Elizabeth Rochford, the judge who pushed Illinois’ “assault weapon” ban over the top, is a demonstrably allied with and beholden to the gun-grabbers and did not recuse herself. [More]
This is the real story, about in-your-face corrupt tyranny, deserving of screaming headlines.
Instead, not a single “#real reporter” working for the DSM (Duranty/Streicher Media) is reporting on this, and like so many stories of import to freedom, we have to learn about it from rights advocates followed by limited niche interests. Meanwhile, as planned and controlled, the general voting public remains blissfully ignorant of what’s being done to them by apparatchiks, deceivers, and those who pull their strings.
An honest “progressive” would object to this. Guess what it means that none has.
Free people cannot coexist with this.

Stunt Legislation: House Dems Propose a 1000% Tax on ‘Assault Weapons,’ ‘Hi Capacity’ Magazines [More]
There is, of course, no chance of passing, so this is just all just cheap attention-seeking noise for headlines by obnoxious communist @$$holes.
If there was a chance, aside from discriminating against low-income minorities who obey the law, that would more than make it worthwhile for murderous cartels to set up shop and send the homicide rate into the stratosphere.

Kennedy said that he would get behind a bipartisan assault weapons ban, which the overwhelming majority of Democrats support, but has little chance of getting through Capitol Hill given widespread GOP opposition. “If we can get a consensus on it, if Republicans and Democrats agree to it and it passes Congress, I would sign it,” he said.

That Camel Stuck Its Nose Under the Tent for a Reason
The text of the proposal, introduced last week in the U.S. House as H.R.4283, is not publicly available, but the sponsor’s office says it will increase the long-standing Pittman-Robertson Act excise tax by “just half a percent and apply the federal excise firearms tax to assault-weapon frames and receivers, which currently are not taxed if sold separately.” [More]

TRO Denied
We’re the Only Ones Minority ‘Inclusive’ Enough
A purchase order posted in the city record last week shows that a South Jersey gun dealer is sending the city $91,171.50 in MP5 submachine guns. This follows the department’s $100,000 purchase of 10 sniper rifles earlier this fiscal year. [More]
You know, per Eric Swalwell, “a hand-held weapon of war, capable of spraying a crowd with more lethal fire in seconds.” And the Chicom honey-potted liar was just talking about semi-autos.
With the Rikers population “overrepresented” at “56% Black, 33% Latinx/Hispanic, 7.5% White, and 3.5% Mixed Race,” that means the Democrat administration is prepared to mow down roughly nine times more “people of color.”
Is it me or does that track with the way they vote?

Democrats Pressuring House Republicans into Caving on Guns
Whether any of the Vichycon Republicans are actually gutless and dumb enough to believe that the prudent play is to listen to the commies and betray their base remains to be seen. While the urge to believe they won’t be is strong, we’ve seen “moderates” snatch defeat from the jaws of victory before. While they might not cave on everything, their baffling propensity to give up “something” and showcase an aptitude for “bipartisan compromise” is a factor that can’t be ignored. [More]
They only need five turncoats in the House, and those aren’t that hard to find.
Consistent with Inconsistency
Illinois’s legal brief seeks to defend their recently-enacted “assault weapons” ban by arguing that the lethality of these semi-automatic firearms means that they may be banned consistent with the 2nd Amendment. Mark Smith discusses this lethality argument here. [Watch]
Because the last thing you want to do when fighting armed attackers is kill them!

How Do You Get From Here to There?
“We have already recognized in Heller at least one way in which the Second Amendment’s historically fixed meaning applies to new circumstances. Its reference to arms does not apply only to those arms in existence in the 18th Century… just as the First Amendment protects modern forms of communications and the Fourth Amendment applies to modern forms of search, the Second Amendment extends prima facie to all instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the founding. Thus even though the Second Amendment’s definition of arms is fixed according to the historical understanding that that general definition covers modern…modern instruments that facilitate armed self-defense. [Watch]
Exactly right. What I’m having trouble connecting the dots on is this:
What is that burden that the government has to bear? The government has to come forth to prove that the arms that they want to ban are not in common use.
Ignoring the first 13 words and focusing exclusively on self-defense leaves the door open to saying post-’86 machine guns are not in common use. It also means that new technological developments that the government reserves for itself will never be.
That is what I’d like to see Mr. Smith elaborate on. I believe he’s one of the few who could.
As an aside, I think the first Republican presidential candidate who promised to nominate him if any Supreme Court openings happen would gain a huge advantage with gun owners.

The Irony is Lost
The state has been relying on “expert witnesses” who are attempting to prove that early firearms do not have the capacity of modern firearms. Why you need “expert” witnesses to prove this is hard to understand. But the notion that our constitution only protects things in existence 200 years ago is odd when the argument is taking place in a courtroom filled with computers and flat screen TV’s, fed by the internet, and protected by metal detectors. [More]
Add a Catch-22 on “ripeness” and you get a feel for what they’re up against.
Meanwhile, the Republicans continue to hold fast on denyng a quorum, so “Attaboys” to them.
Time for a Change
Yesterday, the state presented an “expert” witness who hilariously claimed that it takes 5 seconds or more to change a magazine. This false and absurd statement was made in an effort to convince the court that low capacity magazines will protect people in mass shootings by giving them time to run away. [More]
A moron presenting himself as an expert testifying that an abomination bent on slaughter would nonetheless obey magazine restrictions did not result in his being laughed out of the courtroom? Who is this guy?

assault weapons,’ Christie said in a statement released (on April 14, 1993). ”In today’s society, no one needs a semi-automatic assault weapon.'”
