David Cicilline introduces “Assault Weapon Ban of 2018”
The Left says that they are not out to ban guns or take your guns from you, but Rhode Island Democrat David Cicilline has introduced the Assault Weapons Ban of 2018 and 150 Democrats have signed on with him, according to the Washington Examiner;
The bill prohibits the “sale, transfer, production, and importation” of semi-automatic rifles and pistols that can hold a detachable magazine, as well as semi-automatic rifles with a magazine that can hold more than 10 rounds. Additionally, the legislation bans the sale, transfer, production, and importation of semi-automatic shotguns with features such as a pistol grip or detachable stock, and ammunition feeding devices that can hold more than 10 rounds.
Cicilline’s legislation names 205 specific firearms that are prohibited, including the AK-47 and AR-15.
“Assault weapons were made for one purpose,” Cicilline said in a statement. “They are designed to kill as many people as possible in a short amount of time. They do not belong in our communities.”
I guess Democrats were upset that firearms sales were sluggish last year, so they’re scare-mongering to get folks to make those purchases now.
This won’t pass, not because of NRA money, but because Americans largely oppose bans on weapons. Besides, who do these fascists think they are to tell me I can’t sell my legal firearms? What kind of unAmerican crap is that?
In the language of the bill;
‘‘(A) A semiautomatic rifle that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and any 1 of the following:
‘‘(i) A pistol grip.
‘‘(ii) A forward grip.
‘‘(iii) A folding, telescoping, or detachable stock.
‘‘(iv) A grenade launcher or rocket launcher.
‘‘(v) A barrel shroud.
‘‘(vi) A threaded barrel.
‘‘(B) A semiautomatic rifle that has a fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds, except for an attached tubular device designed to accept, and capable of operating only with, .22 caliber rimfire ammunition.

More like koolaide-drinker. But maybe that comes after…
That doesn’t begin to describe this SNAKE, look at that lying face….he should be taken out and horsewhipped imho
Mr. Cicillini seems to be uninformed about “assault weapons”.
Everything in kitchen drawers is an assault weapon. Every pot and pan in my cupboards is an assault weapon, especially that 9-inch cast iron skillet of mine. My red Swingline stapler is an assault weapon, as are the plastic container of 409 kitchen cleaner under the sink and the plastic bags I use to hold used cat litter.
In fact, the used cat litter is an assault weapon, Big Time!
Everything confounded thing within my line of sight is an assault weapon.
So let’s get to the guts of it, and just call it what it is: another cowhearted attempt to ban guns by federal law, which clearly violates the states’ rights section of the US Constitution.
Mr. Cicillini is a grave-dancing attention whore.
A cup of hot coffee has been used as an assault weapon, so…
Hot cup of coffee, breath spray, hair spray, and spray perfume – all are assault weapons.
Don’t forget the late Daniel Bernath’s breath. Talk about an assault weapon.
Omigod!
The deadly cream pie to the face!!!
How could I forget that one???
“The 12-gauge auto-loader.”
That’s ltalian. you can go pump or auto.
“The 45 long slide with laser sighting.”
These are new. We just got them in. That’s a good gun.
The beam comes on – you put the red dot where you want the bullet to go.
You can’t miss. Anything else?
“Cast iron skillet in the 9 inch range.”
Hey, just what you see, pal.
“The Uzi nine millimeter.”
You know your weapons, buddy.
Any one of these is ideal for home defence.
So which will it be?
“All.”
I may close early today.
I loved all his choices!
Best scene in the movie!
I finally got the Phase Plasma Rifle in the 40 Watt range.
I had to travel back to 1997 and then found out that the timeline had been changed so had to go forward to 2017.
Then, there was a 10 day waiting period…
One of my favor movies evah.
The nightclub scene is a classic. I watch it just to see the ridiculous things people wore back then.
There were many good things about the 1980s. The fashion and music were not among them.
Hey! Huey Lewis and the News were good; REM was pretty good. Bob Segar was still cooking strong.
And I’m quite fond of Iron Maiden. But that decade also produced the aptly-named Poison and dozens of other examples of the obscene genre of Glam Rock, which rivaled Disco in its retardedness. There’s simply no coming back from that.
some sahweeeeeeet guitar riffage nonetheless
Can’t touch Hendrix, though.
I guess Stevie Ray Vaughn comes close.
Can’t beat the 50’S sound. DOO WOPP SHOO BOPP. Now those days were Boss. (NYC word).
See, 50s music was actually good, and people still listen and react positively to it.
It was the Post Punk/New Wave era. Yeah, a bunch of stupid sound samples with the clapping noise but:
U2, Guns N’ Roses, Blondie, The Cure, Depeche Mode, The Bangles, Journey,
REM, Van Halen, Iron Maiden, The Scorpions, Judas Priest, Motley Crue, The Go-Go’s, The Pretenders, Peter Gabriel, Beastie Boys.
I was very fond of 1989, more specifically December 31, 1989. I thought things would be better the next day, but they weren’t.
There WAS some good music during the 80’s, the 70’s had SOME good stuff, but DEATH BEFORE DISCO!!!
Lead free ammo was bitch also.
ha ha WTF is
“Cast iron skillet in the 9 inch range.”
It was “Plasma Rifle 40 watt range
Don’t forget your pressure cooker.
Have you disclosed that to the authorities?
A nit to pick here – unless you have actually used any of those things to assault someone, they only have the potential to become assault weapons. Just like all the items listed on the proposed ban Cicillne introduced.
Only those things which a criminal has used to violate a law already prohibiting assault are assault weapons. Otherwise, they are just like every screwdriver, automobile, and iron skillet in the country – some have been used to kill someone but all the rest are just potential weapons.
By that metric, the overwhelming majority of semiauto magazine-fed rifles haven’t been used to kill anyone, either.
What’s that old line?
“Ted Kennedy’s car has killed more people than my gun.”
I’d rather hunt with Dick Cheney than ride with Ted Kennedy.
100% improved survivability!
Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha!
You’re safe on that score.
Ted is dead. And he’d better stay dead, too.
Teddy’s surefire plan to pick up chicks: “wine ’em, dine ’em, dink ’em, and dunk ’em”.
You said “dink ’em.” Did you mean “dick “em?” On second thought, “dink” is correct for Teddy.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Used kitty litter? Since when are we resorting to biological weapons? Let’s just take a step back from the edge there, shall we?
Or perhaps we can just deliver a nice steaming plate of said used litter to Cicilline (we want to make sure he stays as full of crap as he already is).
Oh, honey, you just bag it up, tie the bag handles, and start swinging. Double bag it, to ensure durability.
I’m completely in favor of delivering a large bag of steaming wet horse manure to Chicken Licker Ciciline’s desk.
Anyone else besides me feel that way?
Horse manure is too fine a byproduct for that tool. Nothing is more vile than fresh cat poop. Let’s stick with that.
Right after the comma, the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution states the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. See, our founding fathers stop this so important that they made it the Second Amendment out of 10 in the initial Bill of Rights. That’s what people do not get that’s what even the United States Supreme Court has failed to give us yet we all of us on this thread have sworn to support and defend that Constitution. That’s what so many people will never get or understand. This debate shakes me to my core. This is the only right in that Bill of Rights that is regulated individually by the states. I can go to any state in the Union and practice my freedom of speech or religion. I can go to any state in the Union and be free of unreasonable searches and seizures without warrant or cause. Hell, I can go to any state in the Union and drive with the license given to me by one state. What I failed to realize is why a bill for reciprocal Carry has passed the house and is sitting in the Senate and languishing for well near a year now.
An argument can be made that the BoR is a restriction on the Federal government, not the states.
Until 1865 none of the bill of rights applied to the states. States were free to regulate speech, religion, search and seizure, etc (see Barron v. Baltimore, 32 U.S. 243 (1833.)
The BoR was not applied to the states until after the Civil War, through the 14th Amendment, a process called “incorporation.” The 2nd Amendment wasn’t “incorporated” to the states until the McDonald decision in 2010.
Correct.
And the people that argued against the BoR did so because the federal government was not given the power to violate these liberties.
I think the founders would be aghast at what the federal government has become.
You do know it was originally proposed fourth? Two originally proposed amendments were proposed but dropped, I read somewhere.
Correct. The original proposal was for twelve amendments.
The first one on the list eventually got enough states to agree, and became the 27th and currently last amendment.
Whoops. Second on the original list. Mis-remembered.
Better said than I could. I have not heard a more ignorant individual in a long time and he seems proud that he s@@ts on the Constitution he swore to protect and defend.
You make the same point I do in a very excellent way. Nicely done.
Yeah, PH2. But are they “weapons of war”?
I would hope so. Those dried hockey pucks left behind when Miss Punkin Squawkypants relieves her bladder are lethal enough to cause some real damage. And truthfully, do you want to suffer being hit by the contents of either the cat box or the portapotty?
Think about that for moment.
So is your VEHICLE,your baseball bat, your machete, your hunting knife…your hammer, your axe, your shovel…need I go on…these slimey freaks of nature need to be removed…..I haven’t decided which yet, either removed from the human race (which they barely qualify) or removed with extreme prejudice! imo
Vote this November as if the very existence of the Second Amendment is at stake…because it is…
I’d say “as of the very existence of the Bill of Rights is at stake…”, CH.
It ain’t just guns they are attacking.
I’ve been making the comment for years that the moment the Democrats can run a candidate who can say in public that he’s pro-gun without pissing down his leg, the Republicans are in real trouble.
Fortunately it looks as if the Dems are gonna be dumb about this for the rest of time… and will keep on losing winnable elections because of it.
Guns are just a small part of their mental deficiency, how about the murdering of 50+million kids by abortion?
Rat fuck piece of shit is probably scared by his own shadow.
Molon Labe, bitches!!!
Why stop there? Let’s add any firearm with an accessory rail on it, or a pistol with an undercut trigger guard. The random things these motherfuckers choose to ban is beyond birdbrained.
Ban all semi-automatic pistols with a detachable magazine? Correct me if I am wrong, but don’t all semi-automatic pistols have a detachable magazine? Yeah, nobody is coming after our guns.
If by semi-automatic they mean one shot per trigger pull, revolvers are semi-auto, too.
It would not shock me in the slightest if unfortunately one day some putrid, evil cockmonger uses a double action revolver to murder his fellow citizens, the gun grabbers will screech “Whaaaaaaaa???? There are semi-automatic, military-style murder spree revolvers??? BAN!!!!! BAN THEM ALLLLL!!!!!!!!”
The former cock sucking Army Major who killed several soldiers at Ft. Hood had a S&W .357 with him but was shot down before he finished with his FN Five-seven
Yep, and the Gun Control on Fort Hood guaranteed him a smorgasboard of unarmed victims.
Amazing but brainwashed embeciles still keep voting for these vermin!!
Semi-autos load the next round automatically into the chamber as part of the firing cycle on the same trigger pull. Revolvers roll another chamber up into rotation, either by cocking the hammer or by a separate trigger pull – not automatic.
Double action/single action
Dang, and I was enjoying my 8-shot .22 so much.
The Steyr 1912 and most examples of the old Mauser C96 Broomhandle have charger-loaded fixed magazines. I’m actually keen on acquiring both for my Old Guns collection. Both are quite cool in their own way, and both are available in 9×19 as well as obscure Euro calibers, though you probably shouldn’t try to run them with +P+ ammo.
Fuck this Rhode Island douche, his fascist party, and their chickenshit bill.
The Mauser C96 ‘Red 9’ and especially the P08 Luger require loads on the hot side to cycle reliably.
Original 9×19 loads were surprisingly stiff for 1900ish.
Most US target loads will short stroke P08’s that have good springs.
MOST do. There are a few exceptions – mostly loaded in clips. In American arms you have the M1 Garand. The other most common clip fed semi-auto is the SKS. They were not affected by the Brady Bill, for instance, because they did not have a pistol grip (at least with the original stock) and had no detachable magazine (at least until you put on the 30 round non-detachable magazine that was completely detachable). You were also supposed to remove the bayonet (easily done by knocking out the retaining pin and pulling the knifey looking part out). Of course, at one gun store I visited during that time, they sold SKSes without the bayonet right next to a box of “tent stakes” that looked suspiciously like they could be mounted quite easily in the empty spot were a bayonet goes. 😀
Anybody have data on the total number of crimes committed in the last 125 years with a fixed bayonet?
I could follow the gun grabbers tactics and pull arbitrary numbers out of my ass and present them as “fact.”
Yeah, but WHAT IF someone decided to go on a rampage with a Chainsaw Bayonet? THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!
Somebody’s been playing “Gears of War!”
Poor poor Carmine.
Which one?
I hear there are a lot of drive by bayonettings in LA. I hate dat when you gonna cap a MFer and you fo’got the clip in yo otha baggy pants. . .
Chainsaw bayonet or regular?
You forgot the Clip fed 40MM Bofor which was great for shooting down zeros.
MOLON LABE, asshole.
Seconded.
μολὼν λαβέ τύραννος
Good. Boost gun sales and continue destroying the mythical “blue wave” in November, all for a virtue-signaling pile of shit that won’t even make it out of committee.
Never interrupt your enemy when he’s fucking up. Carry on.
Amen, let them continue to cut their own throats.
Interesting phrasing that it bans not just rifles with detachable magazines but rifles with magazines that hold more than 10 rounds… no centerfire that I know of matches that – but most tubular magazine .22s do. I am guessing this bill has less than zero chance to get out of committee.
The Winchester 73 (modern copy w/20″ barrel) has a 10-round tube magazine chambered in .357 magnum/.38 special.
I reckon that could be classified as an assault weapon ¯\_(シ)_/¯ . Though, I’d have to have a bayonet lug welded on …. just thinking aloud.
24” versoons of the ‘73 that hold 13 are common, and 30” ones have been sold occasionally.
Did you know it is possible to modify a .45 Colt ‘73 to feed .45ACP? Basically a modification of the carrier, and a new barrel with an ACP chamber.
Handy to match up with a 1911 for that “Wild Bunch” look. Also, they hold -lots- more rounds of ACP than Colt.
There is a compromise cartridge, the “Cowboy .45 Special” (C45S) that has the ACP dimensions with a Colt rim, and is loaded using ACP recipies, that can be used in the ‘73 with just a replacement of the carrier.
Kinda cool, either way.
And also points out how dumb magazine restrictions are, from an enforcement point of view.
What’s the difference between that and .45 Auto Rim?
Sounds like an interesting mod 11B.
What about the boltface and extractor? How do you go from one designed from a large rimmed cartridge to a rimless, grooved one????
Is there a ‘drop-in’ conversion bolt available? Or does it require a mix n match ‘frankenbolt’ to be made, as with say the Delisle Carbine?
Have to check, but at most an extractor with a slightly longer hook would work for ACP. The bolt face is flat, with the extractor up top and the “tab” at the bottom (case guide)
The C45S mod is a one part swap. ACP is a bit more. But it has been done.
Thats what I was thinking TOW.
There is no advantage of that over .45Autorim. The .45ACP/AR was designed to do everything thing the large, BP .45 Colt could do, but in a smaller case with smokeless powder.
.45AR is more versatile however. It can be handloaded to suit the desired purpose,without the issue of proper cycling in a self loader.
Me loves to talk guns n’ ammo 😁
Makes me one happy Hoser!
I need to get into handloading one of these days. Alas, there’s only 24 hours in the day and I promised to build my daughter a pink-striped PBY to hang from her ceiling.
Use handloading to teach your daughter about:
Accurate length measurements.
Accurate weight measurements.
Chemistry.
Use of reference materials.
Cross-referencing reference materials.
Metal alloy compositions.
Physics:
— using levers to apply force
— using expansion of gasses to propel a projectile
— results of different combinations of powder and bullet weights in trajectory
— the impact of bullet shape on trajectory and distance
… and so forth.
See, you get into reloading to help your daughter understand more about her world and grow her understanding of a myriad of technical scientific details.
You are doing it for your children!
Well said GB!
Indeed I will, Graybeard! Knowing her, she’ll want pink-tip handloads for her M1 Carbine. I’m not aware of any projectile type being denoted by a pink tip, but she will likely invent one.
Just coat the tips of some rounds with pink nail polish, I’m sure she’ll get a kick out of that!
Auto rim rounds cannot chamber in a .45 colt or .45 Schofield gun. The rims are way too thick. They only fit moon clip
ACP guns like the S&W and Colt revolvers of WW1 and 2
RCAF – small correction, .45ACP is much more limited. Loaded with black powder a .45 Colt launches a 250 grain bullet at 950-1000 fps, a substantial upgrade.
True David. BP .45 Colt has an extra 80-85 ft/lbs of ME. However, the 1911/.45acp combo has a barrel 2.5 inches shorter. Target 1911’s with longer barrels make up the ME difference.
Auto rim has an extra thick rim, to equal a moon clip on an ACP
C45S is a .45 colt sized case, except ACP length. It will fit anything chambered for .45 Colt, although it probably won’t cycle without mods.
Too bad original .45 Colt did not cycle reliably in original Win 73’s.
A ’73 + a SAA would have been an awesome Calvary combo!
Better than a single shot Trapdoor carbine. Battle of LBH may have gone very differently.
Winchester never produced an original ‘73 in .45 colt. He original tiny rim,and weak brass of the era was totally unsuitable for a lever gun. BP fouling is sticky, and blows back from the fired case into the chamber.
The solution was tapered cases like the .44-40 (.44 WCF) the tapered/bottleneck case would seal to the chamber, keeping fouling out of the action and chamber.
Modern propellants are much cleaner, and the ammo makers added a groove at the base of the rim for better extractor grip. Modern cartridge brass is very durable, thus we can usually reload them repeatedly.
Uberti of Italy has been making very nice replicas for decades, including in .45 Colt. (All ‘73s sold are rebranded Uberti, except one.) Winchester recently restarted production of the ‘73 (by Miroku of Japan).
Great gun, but totally unsuited to modern high-pressure (magnum) loads due to the slick but weak toggle link action.
An elegant weapon, for less civilized times….
IIRC, Saint John Moses Browning was hired by Winchester specifically to develop a lever gun that would handle smokeless propellants. This is why the Winchester ‘86, ‘92, and ‘94 were such a departure mechanically from the ‘73 and ‘76, with big steel lugs locking the breech shut.
11B-Mailclerk, Back when I was a kid in the 50’s, My friends dad, who was also a WW2 Combat Veteran worked for the Post Office and used to pick up the mail from the corner mail boxes and they carried Army 45 revolvers with the half moon clips to hold the rimless cartridges. He stopped by his house for lunch and showed us kids the wheel gun. I do not know what year this practice stopped.
Standard .45 ACP works just fine without the moon clips. You just need a pencil to punch out the cases. .45AR is just more convenient without the clips. I use both in my converted Webley.
One of the guys I used to shoot SASS matches with shot Colt SAA’s modified to shoot .45 Auto Rim; had him modify a cylinder for one of mine to shoot it. .45 Auto Rim is a rimmed case; .45 ACP is rimless and head spaces off the case mouth rather than the case rim.
That is a fairly common and effective mod with proper bullet selection. Post-WW2 the groove diameter of the .45 Colt was decreased from .454 to .452 of the ACP. Not a big difference, but is a consideration if shooting for points.
The rim in AR rounds is thick to fit the old military “moon clip” guns. You can mil the cylinder face to them in a Colt, but it makes using the original rounds a bit less than ideal.
There is a gunsmith mod for the Smith and Wesson 625, that allows it to use .45 Colt, .45ACP on moon clips, or .45 AR. With a six round moon clip, it is the fastest reload for a revolver, thus is popular in “action” gun sports. There are now other moon clip guns for such games, but the modded 625 is a real game changer.
I cannot help a little smug feeling as this plays out.
A young man with whom I had a fairly respectful and intelligent debate about “gun control” claimed that no one wants to confiscate our firearms. Oops, waitaminnit…
He also claimed that there was nothing the local sheriff could have done to prevent the shooting. Uhhhh….
He also claimed that looking into mental illness issues surrounding these shooters was a distraction from the “real” issues. Ummmm….
Poor kid.
Has he admitted his mistakes?
Unfortunately, no, TOW.
He is actually the friend of a friend, so I’ve been holding off on pushing him for a response to my last posting. We were up to 8 separate points – among which the poor kid dared to claim that the ancient western philosophers did not hold to a concept of absolute truth/falsehood, right/wrong. I’m afraid I pulled Socrates, Plato and Aristotle on him.
I may have overwhelmed him with facts.
That, and he is in medical school, so he may actually be studying.
My wife’s sisters came over the other day, and they had a discussion that mercilessly picked apart all of the bullshit in Broward County. This despite their inner-city public school indoctrination.
The unconscionable dereliction of the school district, the sheriff’s office, and the FBI that allowed it to happen, the despicable cowardice exhibited by at least four Broward County deputies (henceforth known as the Cowards of Broward), the idiotic fantasy of a gun-free utopia, the stupidity of victim-disarmament zones, the shameless attempt by the sheriff, some politically-motivated students, and CNN to manufacture blame for the NRA, and the media’s suppression and/or humiliation of survivors who don’t toe the anti-gun line were all ripped to shreds. They were quite impressed with Dana Loesch.
Three gorgeous Asian chicks (including twins, one of whom I’m married to) completely destroying the anti-gun argument was quite a sight to behold. You guys should have seen it!
You’ll have to forgive me, but I’m oddly aroused by the thought of three Asian hoties talking about how stupid Liberal are. . .
What’s odd about that?
Hush! Just look … don’t listen.
Asian-Persuasian babes ….
Say no more.
Yeah, but it’s even better when they know what their talking about, as Hondo referenced below regarding the lovely and talented Michelle Malkin.
“They’re,” not “their.” God, I hate this illiterate iPhone.
Michelle Malkin, Man, what a Chick she is. I dig it.
If it takes thoughts of 3, you’ve apparently never seen a photo of Michelle Malkin – or you might need to see a doctor about “low T”. (smile)
+1
Miss Malkin is a triple threat: smart as the dickens, articulate, and cute as they come.
Michelle Malkin is Nuclear Weapons Grade Gorgeous.
Graybeard, print out and keep a copy (or several) of the attached article with you. And
the next time you try to discuss such things with that young man, make him read the article. If he still thinks the sheriff couldn’t have prevented that disaster, he needs to be educated about it.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/mundelein/news/ct-mun-mundelein-aint-ready-threat-police-tl-0301-story.html
Emphasize that this is only one of many such incidents that the local law enforcement addressed quickly and correctly, and that it is NOT just my state where that happens. These kinds of things seem to increase after an incident like the Parkland HS occurrence, but around here they are addressed and dealt with very quickly.
Up here in the Great Frozen North, such things are taken seriously. No one makes excuses for bad behavior. Now these two stupid kids are facing Class 4 felony charges, which is what SHOULD have happened to that moron in Florida. And you know that my state has tougher gun ownership laws than any other state in the USA.
Oh, I also linked out to the FBI NICS pages, the Wikipedia page on the NICS regs (surprisingly good for Wiki), the FBI Crime Statistics…
Well presented research from impartial-ish sources is so useful.
In other news, per this week’s DU column of Da Stupid, the governor of Georgia has told Delta Airlines (HQ in Atlanta) to replace discounts for NRA members or else.
That should help his re-election chances!
/sarc
To be clear, Delta, with its head-quarters in Atlanta, has already eliminated an NRA discount as a political statement in the wake of the Parkland school shooting. As a response, the Georgia legislature is threatening to kill a current bill that would give Delta a jet-fuel-tax break and save the airline $50 million per year.
Well, it was actually the Lieutenant Governor – but he *is* running for the top job this year.
It may just be me, but I did not join the NRA for the discounts.
But those who are now revoking those discounts are helpfully identifying as money-grubbers uninterested in protecting the U.S. Constitution, so I know who to avoid in the future.
I was quite pleased when they added the Members Benefits column in the magazines… never knew of most of them. But I am a relatively new member, only joined about 30 years ago or so.
Oh, I don’t mind the Members Benefits, I just didn’t join to receive them.
Shades of the NYS ban on all semi handgun mags that held over 10 rds., which happened a number of years ago. We were issued and carried the S&W 4046 .40Cal. right after 9/11 when I was working for Brink’s on the trucks. The mags held 12 rds of Smith .40 and we were only allowed to load 10 rds into the mags under threat of arrest if we had the 12 rds and had to use the weapon in a hold up situation. Weapons were kept in locked wall mini lockers when we punched out for the day. The suits whom did not work on the trucks should have gotten a waiver from the state about the type of work that we did. What a bunch off assholes. Maybe I should keep my mouth shut since I’M getting a pension from them and maybe one of those ass holes are reading this site. P.S. Your still an ass hole boss which means “stupid son of a bitch” backwards.
The NYS Safe Act restricted magazine capacity to seven rounds.
I do so love driving around upstate NY and seeing all the “Repeal the SAFE Act” yard signs.
It’ll never happen, but it once again shows just how out of touch the legacy governor is with his constituents.
Jonn;, This could have been another restriction at a different time/year but the one we had when I was working was that the handgun mags could only hold 10 rds and our S&W 4046’S mags held 12 rds and we were restricted to only loading 10 rds into the mag.
It was amended so you could have a ten round magazine (Since most pistols did not have a 7 round magazine) but loaded with seven except at a range where you could have ten, if retired police 15 was still ok sort of. If that sound convilluded you are right. The seven limit was dropped after a Federal Court decision, but I am not positive where it went after that.
Domestic enemies. None of that is constitutional.
You would think politicians would be more attentive to history so as not to repeat it….things like type of over reach and Government power grab is what led to that little “scuffle” in 1776…..an that was the very reason the 2A was written into the Constitution.
This is all about giving the appearance to the public that the lawmakers “are doing something.”
It doesn’t matter how substantive it is. If they can score quick points with the uninformed, they deem it the way to go.
Any semiauto pistol with a detachable magazine?
How about this revolver?
https://www.militaryfactory.com/smallarms/detail.asp?smallarms_id=315
Holds more than my 1911 and my CM9. Although the trigger pull is a lot more than my .38 Super.
And then, there is .. the Dardick pistol and carbine.
Magazine fed revolver action.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dardick_tround
Yes because if I put a pistol grip on my Remington 870 it becomes a Fully Automatic Street Sweeper capable of penetrating all known armor. Next they’ll want to ban depleted uranium shotgun shells. The nerve.
never like those pistol grips, just about broke my wrist the first time i ever shot one…. if they were smart, they would make it so you could only have a pistol grip!
Try the Knoxx stock with pistol grip. Makes shooting my 870 so easy even the wife likes it.
As I pointed out in another thread, Baltimore set a record for per capita murders last year. Thank goodness Maryland outlawed scary black rifles and a slew of other firearms. Think of all the lives the ban saved! (Yes, that’s sarcasm.)
Don’t get me started.
I have come across some feral pigs that also would like to see AR-15s banned. Who said AR 15s were a exclusive to war fighting? The left I guess.
Now, if you had done the job properly, none of those pigs would have complained….. (grin)
I just assumed it was their next-of-kin that did the actual complaining…
i think he has stock in Remington and just don’t want them to file for bankruptcy. that’s why he is proposing this to get sales back…
People don’t kill people, barrel shrouds and folding/detachable/telescoping stocks kill people. They missed the bayonet lug this time? I can’t count the number of people slaughtered in this country on account of bayonet lugs.
Ah what do I care, I love my Garand and SKS’s.
“Guns have only one purpose: to kill.”
Yeah, no shit, people.
Also, both my idiot NH Congresscritters (Shea-porter, aka Che-pelosi, and Annie “The Abortionist” Kuster) have jumped on this shitwagon.
Too bad Shea-Porter isn’t running again, as if I needed another reason to vote against that brain-dead old hag.
I tried to watch the video, but then he sounded like a lisping queer. She sounded like she had more swinging in her nut sack than Cibilline does.
So, they are saying that
“the ban wouldn’t apply to semi-automatic weapons that were “lawfully possessed” when the measure went into effect”.
Yet, the bill reads:
“The bill prohibits the “sale, transfer, production, and importation” of semi-automatic rifles and pistols that can hold a detachable magazine, as well as semi-automatic rifles with a magazine that can hold more than 10 rounds. Additionally, the legislation bans the sale, transfer, production, and importation of semi-automatic shotguns with features such as a pistol grip or detachable stock, and ammunition feeding devices that can hold more than 10 rounds”.
So, according to this bill, once the owner of “grandfathered semi-auto rifles & pistols” dies or no longer has a need for them & wishes to pass them on to a friend or relative or chooses to sell them, this will no longer be possible because “the bill prohibits the “sale, transfer” of said such grandfathered firearms.
No, nothing to see here. Not a gun grab at all. /sarc
Also, does this mean personal body guards to government officials (think Pelosi/Feinstein and their ilk) Hollywood “stars”, etc, no longer can carry a semi-auto pistol with a capacity greater than 10 rounds or will they be exempt?
I’ll take “exempt” for $1,000, Alex.
So he’s saying that everyone who now is in possession of, whether they acquired it legally or not, will automatically be legal under the new law??
Great.
I didn’t spend over eight years of my life supporting and defending the Constitution of the United States of America to have a bunch of ignorant cocksuckers wipe their ass with the very same document.
We have recruits that can’t throw hand grenades far enough to safely qualify. We have our first tranny recruit, our fleet looks like it should already be in mothballs, our bomber fleet is older than two generations, and our own Congress wants to disarm the citizenry. Has nobody heard of the unorganized militia?
I’m sick of this shit, I’m sick of that little effeminate cocksucker that was appointed by the news media to be Boy King bullying businesses and people online because they support the NRA. This little bitch hid in a closet, while the real heroes were out there getting shot helping their fellow students. (I am talking about the JROTC kids) But, they don’t fit the narrative, they don’t say what MSNBC and CNN want them to say…instead they appoint this little alien looking twat to be the figurehead of the most anti-constitutional movement I’ve ever witnessed in my 47 years on this planet.
Wow…that feels good to get that out.
I was trying to say, at one point in that rant that we are being weakened from within, just about inviting an enemy to take a poke at us.
As rants go, that was a nice one, but rather tame. When people rant in writing, I like to imagine them storming around kicking anything lower than their knees and punching anything at torso level, while their neck veins bulge and froth appears in the corners of their lips.
I did get a few weird looks from people passing by my cubicle as I was furiously typing and mumbling, does that count?
Yes, that shows excellent self discipline.
Don’t forget the bullshit narrative about how the NRA allegedly trained the shooter, because he once attended a range day prior to being kicked out of JROTC. Never mind that the two JROTC cadets who died saving others also received the same training and more of it, having been good kids who stayed in the program, for all the good it did them in a victim-disarmament zone.
Actually, the little boi-toy wasn’t even in the building where the shooting tookplace,near as any article I’ve read stated. That high school is divided into a building for each grade, the shooting apparently took place in the freshman building, the boi-toy was in the Senior building.
So, if being on the same campus makes one a survivor, I guess he is. If he wasn’t in the building, he was, at best, an onlooker.
If anyone would like to join me in donating $10 to the NRA in David Hoggs name:

I can’t wait until he gets the thank you letter(s).
LOL!
You, Sir, are a genius!
I don’t think it’s a good idea to post that kind of information on this site.
Put yourself in the public eye, become a public figure with all its consequences.
So my tactical musket is safe, right?
As is my scoped tomahawk.
It’s still okay for me to get the Lodge 15″ cast iron round griddle, right?
I have to have something to make French toast!
The griddle is fine, no modifications will be allowed however. No enhanced grips.

You will get my silicone cast iron handle cover when you pry it from my cold, dead hands!
I see that the Lodge enamelware is made in China. I passed by the lodge factory back in 2010 going to the USS IWO JIMA CLASS ship reunion in Nashville.
How ‘bout them LeMat cartridge models?
But no one can tell me if my laser guided wrist rocket is legal.
CMMG made a black powder AR15 upper. They showed it at the 2012 Shot Show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7Md96CpsDI
I don’t think they offer it any more but I found another company that does. Just can’t find the link to that at the moment.
The “magazine” held like 5 balls and powder charges.

How about my Starfleet Issue Phaser 2?
https://www.yahoo.com/gma/rhode-island-sets-red-flag-policy-florida-school-095704917–abc-news-topstories.html
And then we have the Rhode Island governor issuing an EO for confiscation from people who show “red flag” behavior, like making threats etc. (which is already illegal.) How long until ‘red flag’ behavior includes being an NRA member, or Republican? Sieg Heil!!
If he tries that, I can pretty well guarantee that there will be some lawsuits in response.
I don’t know the particulars of this idea (other than what the article suggested), but they have that “due process” thing to deal with.
Last time I checked, the suspension or revocation of someone’s rights without due process is frowned upon.
Except by (D)amn-0-crats on a self-righteous warpath.
This is just another Democrat attempt to disarm the U.S.
My assault rifle has a detachable magazine and a threaded barrel. It also has a bolt action and was manufactured by Lowe Berlin in 1893.
Democrats think everyone is an idiot like them. They are slaves to their Party Platform.
Well, here we go. I have a copy of the Bill of Rights on parchment. It was handed out some years back by Phillip Morris with the cooperation of the National Archives.
I would like to ask these foaming, bleating idiot political animals if they’d like any of the following to happen to them:
– unwarranted and unreasonable searches and seizures of their p[roperty with no probable cause and no warrant (I know – redundant!)
– double jeopardy, and punishment for a crime without indictment
– forcible adoption of a religion of any kind, whether they want to or not, and face punishment, including incarceration, torture and death for not following that dictate
– forced by the government to house military personnel in their homes without their permission and without compensation
– taxation without representation
These are very specific and were written in simple, easily understood terms in the 18th century by people who were considerably smarter than 98% of the current crop of political animals. Those 18th century people had already put up with this from a foreign government and were fed up.
So I would just LOVE to confront all those slimeballs in Congress – ALL OF THEM – with these questions of mine.
They seem to be scrambling desperately to restore the same heinous things that we go rid of 242 years ago, come July 4th.
If they want a dictatorship, they can find some other country to set it up. They are not welcome here.
I hope they introduce a complete repeal of all gun laws. It would be interesting to see if America becomes a shangri la.
Yep, whatever you say there slick.
It wouldn’t because criminals are always going to do criminal things.
But you already knew that, and were throwing out a snarky comment.
No, I’m serious. I would like to try it. Who cares what criminals do. If we’re all armed then someone will fire back.
LILY, if brains were gasoline you wouldn’t even have enough to make a pissant’s moped go halfway around a Cheerio.
I used to think, when you first starting posting, that you brought different ideas to the board. Some of them made me think. But, alas, you’ve gone the way of He Who Shall Not be Named and have become what you mock. I patiently wait for you to piss off the God Of the Ban Hammer for I hope it cometh and right soon.
I’m telling the truth. I would like to see a complete repeal of gun laws. If that happens would you be happy or have I gone too far? I don’t care if you own a machine gun or buy 50 guns in a day without a background check.
You’re missing the point completely. The entire exercise is that the 2nd Amendment says my right to own guns shall not be infringed. It says nothing about when you use that gun to kill someone else. That’s still going to be illegal. Always has been. Always will be.
My owning a AR-15 is not hurting anyone else. It affects no one else. It is, and always will be, an inanimate object. It can’t jump up and run down the street and shoot up the elementary school. I know, I’ve watched mine for days now and it hasn’t moved an inch. Either there is a false premise being perpetrated by the left and anti-gun types, or my AR-15 is defective.
Chet Cicilline makes so many ignorant statements it’s hard to take him seriously. “Assault weapons were made for one purpose,” Cicilline said in a statement. “They are designed to kill as many people as possible in a short amount of time. They do not belong in our communities.” Really, Chet? I guess that’s another thing mine does wrong, because it’s only been used for Prairie Dogs and my upcoming hog hunt. Chet Cicilline attempts to impart intent on an inanimate object, just like the rest of the leftists and anti-gun types do. Sorry, it doesn’t work that way. Please tell me you don’t believe all the bullshit being spewed by the ignorant uneducated dumbasses. If you are a Vet, you should know better.
My point is let even the felons have guns. If everyone else has one then you don’t have much to fear. If they kill someone hopefully someone will be around to kill them back.
DAMNED IF you ain’t 24K Weapons Grade STUPID.
Yup.
Stupidest fucking thing I’ve read/heard so far this year.
Hell, just take the fucking trophy now.
If Stupidity was an Olympic Sport, lily would be a repeat Gold Medalist.
So, let me get this straight; you want criminals, who have already proven to society that they can’t be trusted, to be able to be armed? That tells me you are neither mature enough for an intellectually honest discussion, nor a Veteran, because even the lowest private is smarter than that. By your (il)logic; we should let all convicted child molesters go free and maybe even have them run a daycare?
Fuck off.
Shangri La? No but a civil war is that’s what your idea of Shangri La is lily.
Thanks for playing “Are You On Your Meds Or Not”. You lost. However there is a nice consolation prize for you of a bag of dicks.
Hmm. Logically, based on your other past statements here that means you’d be OK with the following groups of people being allowed to have firearms:
1. felons;
2. those who’ve been declared mentally incompetent;
3. those with DDs from the military;
4. everyone else currently prohibited from possessing weapons by law
So long as the don’t have those scary “Assault Weapons!”, of course. Because according to you, no one needs those.
Do you even stop to think about the logical implications of what you write before you hit the “Post Comment” button?
You can have any weapon you want. I’m for you owning any weapon. Get yourself a 10 machine guns tomorrow if you want. As for felons buying guns they’ll just end up dead quicker.
Thanks for confirming the fact that your first comment was merely a troll.
I’m was serious on my first comment. If the repeal of gun laws happens you’d be able to buy 10 machine guns tomorrow and walk out on the same day. Why would I care if you did that? You seem to be a law abiding citizen.
Hondo, remember this is the same Lily who one day just randomly started accusing TAH commenters of antisemitism for no particular reason.
Yeah and OY VEY, what a shmendrick!
Only thing I was against in the past was gun owners doing stupid things to draw attention to themselves from the liberals, such as inventing bump stocks. Gun owners were told they weren’t allowed to own a full auto AR15. So what cute little thing did they do blur the line and draw attention to themselves: create bump stocks. Then you had the Las Vegas massacre, bump stocks were used and now liberals have even more ammo to use against gun rights. Just stop doing stupid things like this and you’ll have more power to focus on protecting what rights you already have. But that’s not going to happen because if it was they wouldn’t have created bump stocks in the first place. It may not be you, but another gun owner out there will try and push the boundaries created by the Gov’t.
“Just stop doing stupid things like this and you’ll have more power to focus on protecting what rights you already have.”
WE did not shoot anyone, in Las Vegas or anywhere else. Why does your comment imply WE are in the same group as the criminals who did these things?
Because Lily is an annoying trollcunt.
Proof that one should not write ‘bot code while huffing bathsalts.
You got to break a few eggs to make an omelette.
Congratulations on continuing to make no sense at all while maintaining a high level of annoyance.
Why you so defensive?
Defensive? Hell no, we just have a low tolerance for those like you who fling their 24K STUPID all over the place.
As a group in basic training you had to pay for the stupidity of others. Was it your fault? No, but you did end up getting smoked.
Not the same game, not the same ballpark, not even the same fucking sport, toots.
Once again, you open your mouth just long enough to switch feet.
Proof that a degree from California university system school ain’t worth the paper it printed on.
Now, go back to work at the coffee shop and make Lars his soy latte.
You’re putting me on a pedestal by making me the standard for the entire college system. That’s proof you’re just trolling. It’s funny how many here accuse me of trolling when that’s exactly what they’re doing. A lot of you sure want an emotional reaction from me and didn’t get it, boo hoo.
YOU put yourself on said pedestal, FOOL, and TOUGH POOP STAIN if you don’t like it!
Hey, twatwaffle… been here posting a hell of a lot longer than you have.
Now go off to lala land and live in your fantasy would.
Get back on your meds, Lily
LISTEN TO SFC D, lily.
I rarely hear that, many thanks, API!
De nada, Amigo.
I just listened to this video on YouTube and I mostly agree with it. You’re not my psychiatrist so you wouldn’t know my med issues. Certain meds can make other disabilities worse, so you have to be careful.
But the statement that you can perform basic functions only with the help of psychotropic drugs was in fact a correct one. Gotcha.
Most people who read these threads come to realize you’re using multiple IDs, you psycho.
HEY LILY! Your Boss called and said you’re late again for your night shift at Brucie’s Bath House (Entrance in Rear).
Seems someone is desperate for attention – any kind of attention – and intends to get it by being as obnoxious a troll as possible.
He’s not lily anymore, I awarded him his new name and title of Captain Shithead, remember how I stuck the Berzerkely critter with “Poodledick”?
Why, yes… yes, I do. I think hitting the ‘report’ button occasionally when it goes off-topic with things like Tide pod videos is appropriate. FAR too many attempts to control the direction of the post subject.
It’s a video about the shooting in Florida that is relevant to the recent gun control hysteria. I think Lilyea may like it.
Maybe you should lay off from overdosing on Stupidol®™ before posting here, lily.
The things that bothered you the most is that I’m not compliant with your fantasy world. It’s funny how TAH members think that most veterans should think just like them. And if they don’t then they demonize them. The site has gone beyond stolen valor to bashing legit veterans who disagree with gun politics. What next, John Lilyea going to attack veterans who support abortion? Where does it end? I’m thinking his line must be anything the diverges from his right wing political beliefs.
Read the other reply I left to another one of your 24K Stupid Nuggets®™, I by the power I personally invest in myself along with my latest shot and a beer and my Power of Smartass®™ hereby dub thee and award thee the title and surname of CAPTAIN SHITHEAD®™.
*boot to the head*
ARISE, Captain Shithead formerly known as lily!!!
Enough of this trollbaiting by lily.
I agree with everything Lily said.
You agree with lily labeling us all “psychos” and maligning Navy vets?
I don’t think you really read those posts, M0311.
This a truly stupid remark – complete repeal of all gun laws. All the states have their own gun laws. Who is going to repeal those? Not the federal government.
Apparently, there’s some disconnect between the meaning of the word ‘weapon’ and ‘gun’, because guns are not the ONLY weapons people own in this country.
I have a couple myself. One of them would kill you instantly. And I’m not referring to my cast iron skillet when I say that.
All gun laws are unconstitutional. The ownership of firearms does not make one negligent or for that matter turn them into a killer. Literally nothing would change if all gun laws were repealed tomorrow. Criminals would still be criminals and law abiding people would still be law abiding. The only difference would be there would be far more armed non criminals than criminals. Plenty of NFA restricted firearm owners today and none of them have turned into monsters because they own a inanimate object. Most of the NFA gun laws are incredibly illogical such as restricting barrel length of rifles, which only reduces the effectiveness of rifle caliber anyway. If government was truly trying to protect people from the evil of firearms they’d be regulating maximum length of barrel not the other way around as though removing 4 inches from a barrel makes it more dangerous. I could write a book regarding how illogical and retarded our current unconstitutional gun control laws are, but I don’t have the time.
Your sarcasm is shitty. Life must suck living in fear of inanimate objects.
I’m not being sarcastic, I seriously would like to see a complete repeal of gun laws. That way the right wing would stop complaining. Then the left wing would see if they’re right too. Lets have a 20 year experiment.
OKAY lily, I’ve nicknamed a few dummy-type critters here on TAH and here I go with you right now.
Lily, I HEREBY dub thee as CAPTAIN SHITHEAD.
*Boot to the head*
If I wanted any of your shit, Lily, I’d squeeze your fucking ears.
No rights are intended to be granted by the Constitution for an unlawful or unjustifiable purpose.
We should be grateful to this particular socialist democrat. He, as are so many others, is doing everything to show us the true intent and face of that party, and to set themselves up to fail miserably in the next election cycle, if not two or three. The liberals and the socialist dems have never been about safety, or security, only gun confiscation so they can rule the country and stay in power without fearing being killed for their abuse of the subjects they rule. The ruling democrats in congress have been telling anyone who listened for over 30 years that it was their intent to confiscate every gun in America.
“Legal gun owners have over 200 million guns and over 12 trillion rounds of ammo. Seriously—if we were the problem you would know about it.” (Poster caption beneath pic of Minuteman statue.)
The latest figure the BATFE put out was 357,000,000 firearms manufactured in America – not exported and not counting imports – data gathered from 1986 – 2013.
Post obama, that number has to have skyrocketed.
How many firearms and ammo did obama sell?
From 1492 – 1986, how many firearms have their been?
I lost all of my firearms and ammo in a tragic boating accident. A lot of boats that day. Damn near filled the Mariana Trench…
And remember always to keep some powder handy. Just before the gestapo arrive, sprinkle it and rub it everywhere–house, garage, shed, grounds, trees, and bushes.
Powder?
What kind of powder? Baking powder? Talc? Corn starch? Cake mix?
Cake mix – wait a minute, that IS a good idea! I can just see these busybodies getting the dry lemon cake mix all over themselves and then being attacked by ants.
Sweeeeet!
You would want the ants that starred in the flick “THEM” Now those were some big ants.
I know what you are referring to, and it has been shown to work.
Here is what Minnesota has introduced (facebook acct required):

If Rep. Linda Slocum would cut back to a couple of pork roasts a day, she’d lop of 80-90 pounds in no time.
Great, now I have to start writing my reps.
This morning on the Rich Stevens WFTL 850 AM radio show had a Viet Vet caller saying that AR-15 rifles should not be used for hunting and some of his hunting friends agree with him and a number of hunters do not agree with the NRA. Now WTF that pisses me off is that these pro 2A radio hosts do not explain that the 2A has nothing to do with hunting and they do not explain, or they are very ignorant about why the 2A was written and the caller is left without the right answer. WTF.
Fudds have always been a issue. Thankfully they are dying out and being replaced by real patriots that don’t compromise their rights.
The AR15 and later M16 series weapons are hunting weapons. Originally intended for hunting VC and NVA, and they are both legal and in some cases very good for Varmint hunting, two or four legged. If everyone knew the Air Force was the driving force behind the AR, I bet they would be well and truly confused about it all.
My AR15 has been very handy for dispatching af few coyotes and wild hogs.
Mine too, API. The coyote family on my property moved, the few that were left, that is.
The libs are recycling their gun grabbing agenda. I’m expecting to hear anyday that every gun sold will have to have an expended round on file. I’ve already seen a news story about the owner chip ID thing.
MD tried the expended round program, gave up on it last year or late 2016, IIRC.
Tens of millions of state taxpayer dollars down the shitter, and you know how many crimes they solved with it?
NOT. A. FUCKING. ONE.
Also Canada spent millions and it never solved a single crime
As I said elsewhere, Prohibition (of alcohol) didn’t work, either. The Cato Institute’s 1991 study outlines its failures explicitly.
The Iron Law of Prohibition states states that the more intense the law enforcement, the more potent the prohibited substance becomes.
https://object.cato.org/pubs/pas/pa157.pdf
(If the link doesn’t work, copy and paste it into your browser.)
I think it answers a lot of questions regarding why inflicting new/more laws on the public won’t work. During Prohibition, the crime rate went up by 78%, compared to the rate before Prohibition. Those are statistics, not suppositions. This was partly due to the rise of organized crime under Al Capone. And we still have these issues now.
You can’t convince any howling politician that people kill other people, not guns, because guns don’t vote. People vote. If you start putting the blame where it belongs – in this case, on Cruz – then you lose a vote by placing the blame where it belongs.
Thanks for the link to an interesting read.
As you quote above ” The Iron Law of Prohibition states that the more intense the law enforcement, the more potent the prohibited substance becomes.”
You can also observe this process in restricting legal opioid access – increased market for illicit substitutes such as heroin, fentanyl and a family of synthetic analogues.
Doesn’t this “Law of Prohibition” apply to firearms also? Look at some of the creative alternatives being marketed today. Beware the unintended consequences of poorly conceived law.
Also to play stupid(er) here for a moment –
were the above proposed bill become law as is, not only could I not sell my “assault weapon”, I could not turn it in either (also a transfer).
…and you would end up trapped between two worlds, wouldn’t you, old98z?
Frequently 🙂
Experienced unintended results.
The Gun Law reform we need now is for everyplace to have Gun Laws just like those in Kennessaw GA.
As well as allow Concealed Carry in public schools starting with Teachers.

I have questions of my own that the media don’t address. I’ll put them all together in one spot and you guys can have at them. Some of it is just finding the difference between THIS and THAT, and what the real answers are.
All of this grandstanding, while irritating to us, is nothing more than attention-seeking behavior in people who are 1) looking for votes in the fall, and 2) as close to lazy and incompetent at real-world jobs as you can get.
Beautiful day outside. And tomorrow is another day. Spring will be coming along soon. Looking forward too it, hitting the trails to shoot birds with my 300mm. And if you know what I do, you know what that means.
The dreaded assault lens!! Are they legal in civilian hands?
Aim a magnifying glass at someone out doors and you have an Assault ray gun with unlimited power from the sun from sunup until sundown.
Well, considering that I can easily find and target a hawk as well as a handshake, they may or may not be legal. 😉
Is it legal to use one from a distance to record what someone is doing, unbeknownst to the subject? Law enforcement does this frequently. They have pictures!
I won’t give it up, period!
Nobody “needs” a 300mm lens.
THAT DOES IT, we need Lens Control Laws RIGHT NOW, THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!! Nobody should have unfettered access to High Capacity Fully Automatic Lenses!!!
…not from my cold, dead hands.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahshahahahahahahahahaha!!!
Good news, comrades in arms; Gersh “Maybe we should see other men” Kuntzman was just fired by Newsweek. Newsweek is about to be evicted from its Manhattan offices and is frantically firing staffers to cut overhead.
Where will they go now, The Village Voice?
Mother Jones.
Best place for a momma’s boy like him.
Doesn’t Newsweek belong to a UK news conglomerate, or something like that?
So where will the easily-intimidated-by-plumbers Kuntzman end up? Gee, maybe he’ll find a job writing copy for an ad agency? Perhaps he’ll look back on his halcyon days in his Upper East Side apt and wonder why he didn’t see things coming. Complacency is not a good thing. He’s a clear demonstration that when you take something for granted, it may evaporate on you.
I wonder if he paid off his plumbing bill. Oh, that’s right, it was part of the building maintenance deal.
Newsweek has also not been paying its share of building maintenance, along with the electric bill. I am smelling an impending Ch.11 BK in New Yawk. Hopefully, they will go “BK and away,” as we used to say in the business lit lawer community.
He was fired by phone and whined about it on Twitter. Bwahahahahahahahah.
By phone???? Oh. My. Dog!!! Holy cow!
That’s too funny.
