Remaining Anti-Gunners In U.S. Senate Renew Push For Gun Control

Anti-gun U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) and U.S. Representative Elizabeth Esty (D-Conn.), have introduced their Large Capacity Ammunition Feeding Device Act (S. 407 and H.R. 752, respectively), in yet another attempt to ban magazines that accept more than 10 rounds. Similar legislation has been introduced in previous Congresses, and has repeatedly failed since the expiration of the Clinton “large” magazine ban in 2004.

Firearms designed to use magazines that hold more than ten rounds have been around for more than a hundred years. Today they constitute a majority of all new firearms manufactured, imported and sold in the United States, for what the Supreme Court, in District of Columbia v. Heller (2008), called the central purpose of the Second Amendment: self-defense.While gun control supporters claim that the magazines are unnecessary for self-defense, millions of Americans disagree, and the Supreme Court has ruled in Heller that laws are unconstitutional if they prohibit firearms that are in common use for defensive purposes.

Menendez is a pedophile sexual predator that should be in prison not trying to introduce laws attempting to take away my liberty.

12:33 Ban all parks!

If they ban "large capacity feeding devices", that should go for criminals too. I don't want to get into a shootout with my 10 round, and he/she has a 20 round, or even scarier, a 30 round magazine. I'm sure the fine Senators will be sure to remind criminals to obey these anti-2a laws.

In all seriousness... I'm grandfathered, so eat a bag of ....s!
