9 Gun Controls
Democrats Have Supported Since Sunday
by AWR Hawkins 11 Oct 2017
The Democrats
cannot stop themselves when it comes to gun control, and proof of it lies in
the fact that various Democrats—and/or Democrat surrogates—have voiced support
for nine different gun controls since
Sunday.
During an October 8 appearance on CBS News’ Face the
Nation, Sen. Dianne Feinstein admitted
that no law would have stopped the Vegas attacker. She then went on to say “we need a law”
on bump stocks and to voice support for banning all semiautomatic firearms.
She is not alone. Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) ran through a plethora of
gun controls he wants to secure during an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union,
and the Washington Post and Los Angeles Times both pushed
Democrats to enact even more extreme gun control.
Here are 9 gun controls Democrats and surrogates have
pushed since Sunday:
1.
Ban on Bump Stocks – Sen. Dianne Feinstein is
pushing this with her Automatic Fire Prevention Act. She admits that bump
stocks are an accessory—that they do not convert semiautomatics into
automatics—but she wants to ban them anyway. Her bill explicitly bans any
accessory that allows an increase in rate of fire in short bursts but does
“not convert the semiautomatic rifle into a machine gun.”
2.
Ban on Trigger Cranks – Sen. Feinstein’s bill
bans trigger cranks too. Like the bump stock, trigger cranks are another
novelty that gun owners can use to achieve short, rapid bursts of fire. Such
cranks allow a gun owner to mimic automatic fire yet do not convert a
semiautomatic gun into an automatic one.
3.
Ban on Semiautomatic firearms – Sen. Feinstein
voiced support for this ban during her appearance on Face the Nation,
and the Washington
Post pushed for such a ban
two days later.
4.
Implementation of Universal Background Checks –
Sen. Chris Murphy used his appearance on State of the Union to stress
that a bump stock ban is only the beginning for Democrats. They plan to follow that ban
with the implementation of universal background checks, which means private gun
sales would require a background check just like retail sales. Democrats claim
these checks would save lives, yet Sen. Murphy and others ignore the fact that
the Vegas attacker purchased his guns via background checks, as did so many
attackers before him. The real reason Democrats want universal background
checks is because such checks require a gun registry to be enforceable.
Therefore, the implementation of such checks would immediately lead to one more
gun control: a gun registry.
5.
Ban on “Assault Weapons” – Sen. Murphy also
mentioned an “assault weapons” ban, suggesting it would be next in line after
background checks. The Los Angeles Times
called for an
“assault weapons” ban as well.
6.
Ban on “High Capacity” Magazines – The Los
Angeles Times also called for a ban on “high capacity” magazines,
describing them as one of the most dangerous aspects of “assault weapons.” The Times points
to attacks like ones on Sandy Hook, Virginia Tech, and the San Bernardino
County Building as justifications for an “assault weapons” ban that contains a
“high capacity” magazine ban. In so doing, the Times overlooks the
fact that all three attacks—Sandy Hook, Virginia Tech, and San
Bernardino—occurred in gun-free zones. This means the attackers had no threat
of armed response and could take their time, reloading as often as needed. In
such scenarios magazine capacity is a moot issue.
7.
Opposition to Concealed Carry – Breitbart News reported that Sen.
Feinstein took time to argue against concealed carry for law-abiding citizens
during her Face the Nation appearance. Speaking of concealed carry she
said, “I don’t believe it’s protected by the Constitution.”
8.
Opposition to National Reciprocity – Sen.
Feinstein also voiced opposition to the national reciprocity legislation
currently pending before Congress. She said, “Well, my opinion of that bill is
it’s terrible. … [Do] we want every American to feel comfortable packing a
concealed weapon around the country?”
9.
Australian-style Gun Ban – On Tuesday the Washington
Post suggested
it is time for such a ban.
10.
All these gun controls come
at a time when Democrats assure us they are focused on a narrow gun control bill after the Vegas attack.
