Newly ascendant Democrats are promising congressional action on gun control amid a rash of mass shootings, including a late-night assault at a California bar that killed 12 people.
Measures including expanded background checks and a ban on assault-style weapons are likely to reach the House floor when Democrats retake control after eight years of Republican rule.
"The American people deserve real action to end the daily epidemic of gun violence that is stealing the lives of our children on campuses, in places of worship and on our streets," said Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, the Democratic leader who is running for a second stint as House speaker. |

If the Piglousies of the House get their way, after a ban on assault weapons, they will find the mass shootings will continue with other weapons, such as repeating shotguns, etc., and then will try to, or WILL, ban those.
It's a "DIVIDE AND CONQUER" strategy.
Will it work?

MarkHam Townsend -
It's prog bluster. DOA in the Senate, and failing that, a presidential veto.
No way either house gets 2/3 to pass anything. |

U.S. Congressman and Senators take an oath to uphold and preserve the Federal Constitution. In order to comply with the Constitution, Congress has enacted federal laws to execute and enforce this constitutional requirement.The People of America have never authorized their elected representatives to destroy their Bill of Rights, The Peoples' Rights. Citizens must see that elected officials are bound by the chains of the Constitution. Any person advocating gun control, gun registration, etc., of law abiding citizens, does not deserve to be an elected representative. Persons of little character, or honor disobey their oath.

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
