If it passes the Senate, 18-20 yo should revolt... They're the right age for it...

The Founding Fathers Were the 1776 Millennials-Millennial Action Project

In 1780, when James Madison constructed the Constitution he was 29 and the youngest member of the Continental Congress; At 29, he would be the youngest Congressional member today.

Most of the Founding Fathers were under the age of 40 on July 4, 1776, and would more rightly be considered ‘founding teenagers’ or young adults at the time they submitted the Declaration of Independence.


Among the most notable signers were James Monroe (18), John Marshall (20), Aaron Burr (20), Alexander Hamilton (21), and James Madison (25). Thomas Jefferson, principal author of the document, was only 33.

It's going to pass the senate. We have RINOs like Cornyn in there. Republicans are just as shit as democrats, except a lot of people don't see it.

This whole thing is going to **** us.

What's the feeling on it eventually being overturned by SCOTUS?

Heaven forbid if we can't take both houses, and get rid of some RINO's in the process.

Of course it passed the House, that place is a chit show of lunatics like AOC. Means nothing.

There's a decent chance it won't pass the Senate.

There's a small chance that certain elements such as magazine capacity restrictions and age restrictions will be found unconstitutional.

Now's the time to send another email to Cornholio.

I fear you may be correct.

Reasonable chance for being overturned.

Reasonable chance for being overturned.

On what grounds? SCOTUS has recognized government can regulate a constitutional right. It’s why we have a minimum age today that’s different between handguns and rifles/shotguns. If Congress wanted to avoid the litigation, they would just do it for all firearms and AOWs instead of leaving an opening for a challenge based on technical definitions.

Might be a good time to buy "large capacity ammunition feeding devices" to sell back later.

only thing this law will do is turn a lot of law abiding people into criminals. Demoncraps are too damn stupid to learn from the failure of prohibition. 1860 here we come

There are all kinds of grounds open here. There are so many potential ways to attack this we could have our own forum dedicated just to that. Doesn't mean any of those ways will win (or even be attempted) but they exist.

Just because the govt can provide regulation on a right doesn't mean all regulation is automatically OK, there is tons of precedent here, crap like tiered scrutiny, on and on it goes down the rabbit hole.

For example, just a couple bits on just one of the House bill items:

The govt would never recognize that you can only have two abortions, or 100 words per free speech, so why is it OK to limit my magazine capacity?
What if I'm handicapped and only have 1 arm -- reloading is seriously slow, so I need a standard capacity magazine to protect myself.

If you allow the govt to limit capacity to 15, why not 14? Why not 1? This is where the govt, because it's regulating a civil right, has to show a reason why 15 must be the maximum. It must show that killers would not be able to kill people if their magazine capacity had been limited, the govt needs to bring science. The closer to the "core" of the right, the higher the burden on the government.

Where the line is drawn is of course arbitrary, and SCOTUS is as political as anything else, but there is just the tiniest taste of the grounds you asked to see.

Multiple news sites on both sides are calling it dead on arrival to the Senate. Its posturing for the election coming up, nothing more. If it had real chance of being passed, they would have coordinated for it to be reviewed and voted on quickly and the Senate would be talking it up more.

That being said, I think I am purchasing a couple more PMAGs....

If you don't have them already your going to pay to much.

 

[Failedsmile2019!]

This is quite troubling. I was trying to get my first AR in the next couple of months. Guess I'll have to practice quick reloads... These knee jerk reactions never accomplish what they think they will...

I hope you’re right but I don’t think it will work out like we want. The number of seats of folks who won’t vote yes is slim. Little wiggle room between republican seats and democrat/other. So when you have names like graham, Cornyn, romney; not good.

Nope they never will. Gun control is illogical. How does regulating regulating mags and buying age save lives? It won’t.

Prices weren't bad earlier this week. Do not know if they have gone up since.
