Rioting spreads in Seattle - emergency weapons ban included

Yeah, well, good luck enforcing that. Better tried by 12 than carried by 6.

Yup, just another illegal order.

BTW, I don’t know who he is but that “security guard” has a serious skillset.

Weird how the liberal shit holes have the biggest crime problems when animals riot. You don't catch this kind of shit in NON-retarded States where law abiding people will shoot you if you try to smash in their windows.

Not so fast.... this shit is in SC, too now.

Coming soon to a location near you.

Shades of Katrina. Didn't the feds pass a law that says you can't be disarmed in an emergency?

Definitely reminds me of Katrina. How many people that screamed "never again!" will sit back and let this one happen?

Waiting for something that STOOOPID (weapons ban, even if 'temporary') to be tried here in Pittsburgh (the mayor SALIVATES at the possibility, since everything he's tried legally gets shot down in the courts, due to PA's outstanding Constitutional pre-emption clause).

Hopefully, the local numbnoo's shot their wad yesterday, and are now done for.

According to this reporter, Last Night We Saw Why Americans Own 16+ Million AR-15s. A lot of people guarding property with them.

I’m still kicking myself for not strapping mine down when I went on that fishing trip a couple years ago...

I remember the 1994 assault weapons ban. In 1994, there were comparatively few ARs and other similar rifles, and fewer pistols that could accept 10+ magazines. You'd go to a big range and everybody would be shooting a bolt rifle, and one guy would have an AR. ARs cost big money and there were only about three makers. I didn't even have an AR back in 1994.

Even so, it was a hard sell to get the AWB passed. People like Bill Ruger had to cooperate, and only a sunset provision made it pass.

And Bill Clinton among others admitted that it was a big contributor to the House turning over, the rise of Newt Gingrich, and the Contract On America.



When Obama was elected, in the spring of '09 he and Eric Holder said "it's now time to get serious on assault weapons." 65 newly elected Democrat congressmen, mostly from the west and south, signed a letter to Holder telling him that an AWB would be the third rail and would make them one-term congressmen. The Administration and Schumer, Feinstein et al backed off.



Fast forward to now: There are millions of people that own millions of ARs and other such things, and millions of hi-cap pistols.
The AR-15 is the default rifle, and the hi-cap pistol is the default pistol. Somebody estimated a minimum of one hundred million (100,000,000) 10+ magazines in circulation.

There have been many more mass shootings. There will be intense pressure for Biden and the Democratic House and Senate to pass AWB and other anti-gun legislation.

I wonder if Democrats will remember the lessons of AWB history? The more assault rifles and hi-cap pistols out there, the bigger the constituency against them.

That's why all the serious moves have been at State levels... particularly in places where Leftist orgs like Soros's Secretary of State Project have compromised the elections process so he and the other Leftist billionaires can just outright buy initiatives like Washington's I-594 and I-1639.
