Gun grabbers bait and switch again....say all semi auto rifles are "assault"rifles.....

[2aguy]

Washington gun grabbers are lying...they are using the Bait and Switch technique to lie to people who don't understand guns....they tell the uninformed voters in Washington state they just want to ban "Assault" rifles...and define "Assault" rifle as any and all semi automatic rifles......which will also include pistols and shotguns by the time they are done...

By the way....semi automatic rifles are protected by the 2nd Amendment and AR-15 rifles are specifically protected by the 2nd Amendment...

Washington State Gun Control: All Semiautomatic Rifles Are 'Assault Rifles'

I certainly hope they make this their issue this November or in 2020. But, not even Democrats are that dumb, are they?

They are.

I’ve always wondered, why don’t gun manufacturers and distributors refuse to sell in states with restrictive laws. I mean to anyone. Imagine the State Police calling Glock to ask for the price to replace all their weapons and Glock says No thanks and just hangs up the phone. So the State Police calls Ruger, and gets the same response. Smith and Wesson, and the same thing. When someone asks why, say we can’t sell unaltered firearms to anyone else in your state, so why would we sell to you?

Let the Gun Control groups create a gun company that sells to police. BTW. This is the same attitude I had when the Justice Department was suing Microsoft. The best way to end that would be to announce that here on, Microsoft products could not be sold to, or registered by the Federal Government. This is in the interest of enhancing competition, which the Government says we are suppressing. Good luck gang. Have a nice day.

Cut them off, and see how long their gun control attitude lasts. How many companies would agree to this? Good question. But there aren’t that many major makers of quality firearms. I mean, sure the cops could be armed with HiPoint pistols, but why? At that point it is probably better to give them a slingshot.

On the Bait and Switch in Washington, State...

NRA-ILA | Sneak Attack on Washington State

Did you know the Winchester 1903, a .22-caliber rifle that has a 10-round tube magazine, is a “semi-automatic assault rifle”? In fact, every semi-automatic rifle is a “semi-automatic assault rifle.” So says Michael Bloomberg, and he is poised to turn his definition into law.

he gun-banner epithet “assault weapon” has always been a deceit. Unlike other firearm terms—such as “handgun” or “bolt action”—the phrase “assault weapon” has never had a fixed meaning.


Instead, the phrase is a euphemism for “as many firearms as we can restrict, based on current political conditions.”


Back in 1989, then-Sen. Dennis DeConcini, D-Ariz., introduced an “assault weapons” bill to ban only nine specific models of firearms. But that was what the prohibitionists call “a good first step.”

Now, Bloomberg and his allies are pushing an “assault rifle” ballot initiative in Washington state that would apply to every semi-automatic rifle in existence.
----

Under Bloomberg’s proposed Washington law, semi-automatic rifles or handguns of any type would be subjected to onerous new restrictions and taxes, thus discouraging their possession and lawful use.

One objective of the Bloomberg strategy is stigmatization of gun owners. Maybe you just bought a Benelli R1, or your father gave you his Ruger 10/22, or you cherish your great-grandfather’s Remington 8. You, like all owners of semi-automatic rifles, are being stigmatized as an “assault rifle” owner—the kind of person who owns “weapons of war” that have no place in civil society.

The end game of the Left is to BAN all legally possessed firearms by the law abiding citizens. They are not focused on the criminal element. They just want to further CONTROL, and dominate the law abiding.
