Reinstate ban on military-style assault weapons
Our view: Imperfect as law was, it noticeably reduced flow of such lethal guns
    Feb 22, 2011
This country needs to re-impose a new, effective ban on military-style assault weapons.

Banning semiautomatic assault weapons designed to kill lots of people quickly isn't quite as simple at it may appear on the surface. That must not keep us from trying.
…
We believe an imperfect ban is better than none when it comes to assault-style weaponry on our streets.
…
This country must enact a new federal ban on military-style assault weapons.

The Brady Campaign argues that a new federal ban should be modeled on California's law, which uses a "one-feature" test to define outlawed weapons. Thus those with just one military-style feature are illegal.

The U.S. essentially outlawed machine guns in 1934. It's time we took similar action against their very lethal descendants.

To the surprise of no one, criminals across the country are exploiting the chaos to steal guns

In an epic failure of liberty control, the current chaos is giving thieves a perfect opportunity to try and steal some guns. Criminals across the country have been trying to take advantage of the chaos to burglarise gun stores, attempting to break into the shops and steal what they can. This while law enforcement has been busy with the protests and looting that broke out everywhere. Some have noted a decided increase in this type of crime, with the thieves only meeting partial success. Word has it that the ATF has complimented some stores for their security measures that prevented loss of inventory to the miscreants. If anything, this should show that  liberty control  is a fool’s errand since criminals will always find a way to obtain guns. The end result of these policies is that the innocent and even law enforcement are then at the mercy of the worst of society.

Gun Confiscation SWATing: Shooting down due process

A new video from the Firearms Policy Coalition highlights the dangers to Liberty and due process posed by so-called ‘Red Flag’ Laws. Gun confiscation SWATing, Extreme risk protective orders or so-call ‘Red Flag’ Laws are all the rage of the Liberty grabber Left and RINO’s these days. It’s bad enough that these unnecessary and unconstitutional violations of everyone’s due process rights are being ‘Rahmed’ through on a state level. But both the US House and Senate have their own versions. The latter co-sponsored by Senator Marco ‘RINO’ Rubio (R-FL) with the Senate Judiciary Committee to hold hearings on March 26 . In a case of trying to solve a rare but emotionally charged problem, these will only serve to create an even bigger problem destroying several civil and human rights in the process. We’ve already established that this type of legislation is unnecessary since Involuntary Civil Commitment laws that protect due process rights are already on the books. Thus we hav
