A ban on "assault weapons" is one of the goals of some Democrats in the U.S. House, said Rep. Andre Carson (D). He said in a message on Twitter, he believes Congress is taking steps to help stop gun violence.
"This week Congress took action to tackle gun violence," said Carson, after talking about the one-year anniversary of the Parkland (Florida) shooting. "The House Judiciary passed a bi-partisan background checks act, and the House Democrats will reintroduce the assault weapons ban." |

As usual a typical democrat stance. They fail to realize that criminals will steal weapons if they need them so any type of background check wont stop them from getting weapons!

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
