REPUBLICAN congressman Peter King calls for ban on ASSAULT WEAPONS

[Text Drivers are Killers]

He says there is no NEED for assault weapons but that's true of many things. Do people need cars that do 3 times the max legal speed.? Do drivers need internet access so they can watch a movie while driving their 3 ton SUV at 80 mph? There's your crazy.

aug 19 2019 Rep. Pete King (N.Y.) is the first House Republican to back a bill in the chamber seeking to ban assault weapons.

"They are weapons of mass slaughter," King told the New York Daily News on Monday shortly after his support for the Assault Weapons Ban of 2019 as a co-sponsor became public on Congress's website.

“I don’t see any need for them in everyday society,” he added.

The bill, rolled out in February by Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.), has 200 Democratic co-sponsors.

It would ban semi-automatic firearms and large-capacity magazines, proposals which have drawn more attention following back-to-back mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, that left a combined 32 dead and dozens more injured earlier this month.

While King had previously backed background checks for gun purchases, the two tragedies moved him to support Cicilline's bill.

"I think the assault weapons ban is timely now, especially in view of the shooting in El Paso and Dayton," he told the Daily News.

Maybe I'LL start telling HIM what HE "needs"...

I don't think he needs a salary over $80K/year. I don't think he needs a vehicle that costs more than $30K. I don't think he needs internet speeds any faster than 4mbps. I don't think he needs a smartphone. I don't think he needs as big of a home as he has... I could go on and on...

Do me a favor, Pete... Don't tell me what I need. I can determine that for myself, thanks...

The word, “need” does not appear in the Second Amendment...just the word, “right.”

That's true but of course the phrase "assault weapon" is not in the 2A either, just the word "arms" and no one knows what that means.

HAHAHA. You're just mad because you libs don't have an answer to the gun/car analogy. Even you can see it's hypocritical to attack gun violence while accepting the much more common and much more correctable problem of vehicle violence. THINK, miserable tranny.

Arms means all arms. It doesn't matter what action it has, what ammunition it uses, what accessories are on it, etc...

Oh come on. You think bazookas should be legal?

Yes, I do.

[Text Drivers are Killers]

Yes, I do.

Maybe you're right. I bet the WACO 85 wish they had had bazookas when clinton sent in the tanks to kill them.
