House Democrats Introduce Bill
On December 16,
Rep. David Cicilline (D-RI)(D-RI-1st) will introduce the "Assault Weapons Ban of 2015#8243; to ban all manufacturing of "assault weapons."
Besides banning the manufacturing of AR-15s and related firearms, the ban would put in place "new restrictions on the sale of already existing assault weapons."
According to The Hill, Cicilline said, "Assault weapons are designed for the sole purpose of killing as many people as quickly as possible. We need to do everything we can to reduce the toll of gun violence by keeping these weapons out of our communities."
(I guess these need to be reserved for the Government, except they NEED the big brother, full auto))
His bill has "90 Democrat co-sponsors including House Minority WHIP
Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD)(D-Md.-5th) and
Rep. Steve Israel (D-NY)(D-N.Y.-3rd)."
With a total of 91 Democrats pushing the "Assault Weapons Ban of 2015," it is interesting to note that the New York Times previously reported that the idea of a class of firearms called "assault weapons" is a piece of fiction the Democrats created in the 1990s. In an article titled, "The Assault Weapon Myth," the NYT explained that Democrats created the phrase "assault weapons" in hopes of stigmatizing an entire category of guns-blaming those guns for rising crime-then banning them.

One good thing the Miller decision brought us, was that the 2nd Amendment protects the right to keep and bear military weapons. 0 -

In the interest of accuracy, let me point out that the NYT article commenting on the origin of the term is wrong. For example, the term "assault weapon" was used by the Marine Corps for certain weapons developed in the 1970s and 1980s, and the closely related term "assault rifle" was used in the gun enthusiast press at least as early as 1967 (e.g. "The World's Assault Rifles & Automatic Carbines (The World's Weapons Series, Vol. 2)" by Musgrave and Nelson).0
