I keep saying, Republicans should offer legislation that members of Congress and the Executive Office, especially the people who work for Biden along with Biden, should not be protected by armed security armed with “assault rifles” and handguns with magazines that hold more than 10 rounds

Democrats to Vote on 6 Gun Controls That Wouldn’t Have Prevented Uvalde Attack

Democrats in the House Judiciary Committee will hold a vote on a gun control package Thursday which includes six gun control measures that would not have prevented the Uvalde attack.

The package is titled the “Protecting Our Kids Act.”

In other words, the “Taking guns away from/making it more difficult for law abiding citizens while doing nothing against criminals act”

Punchbowl News reports that the package contains eight gun controls. Six of those gun controls would not have prevented the Uvalde attack.

Those six include background checks for “ghost guns,” gun storage requirements for homes with minors present, additional penalties for gun trafficking and straw purchases, a bump stock ban, and a requirement that existing bump stocks be registered under the auspices of the National Firearms Act.

Hey, remember when Obama’s Fast and Furious trafficked guns with straw purchases? Who was the VP then?

In addition to the six gun controls that would not have prevented Uvalde, the Democrats are pushing a “high capacity” magazine ban. This ban would not prevent attacks either.

On December 30, 2012, a review board that studied the April 16, 2007, Virginia Tech shooting found that a ban on “high capacity” magazines would have had a negligible impact on the outcome of the attack. The review panel said making the attacker use ten-round magazines instead of mags that hold 15 rounds “would have not made that much difference in the incident.”

I can change mags on my 10 round Walther pretty darned quick. How about you? Also, a federal court struck down California’s high capacity magazine law, which was then reinstated by an appeals court, and the Supreme Court is set to rule on a NY law that has similar restrictions.

None of these laws would stop any of these shooters.
