Democrats Plan to Pursue Most Aggressive Gun-Control Legislation in Decades

Focus spurred by an incoming class of lawmakers with ‘F’ NRA ratings who campaigned on the issue.
By Reid J. Epstein
Democrats say they will pass the most aggressive gun-control legislation in decades when they become the House majority in January, plans they renewed this week in the aftermath of a mass killing in a California bar.
Their efforts will be spurred by an incoming class of pro-gun-control lawmakers who scored big in Tuesday’s midterm elections, although any measure would likely meet stiff resistance in the GOP-controlled Senate.
Democrats ousted at least 15 House Republicans with “A” National Rifle Association ratings, while the candidates elected to replace them all scored an “F” NRA rating.
“This new majority is not going to be afraid of our shadow,” said Mike Thompson, a California Democrat who is chairman of the House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force. “We know that we’ve been elected to do a job, and we’re going to do it.”
Mr. Thompson, who represents a district in the Napa Valley north of San Francisco, said he plans to introduce legislation mandating universal background checks in the opening weeks of the new Congress.
The gun-control movement’s evolution was evident this week following news that a dozen people had been killed Thursday at a country music bar in Thousand Oaks, Calif.
Here come the ghouls, dancing in the blood of innocents. But this should surprise no one, and they’re a couple things the gun grabbers will have to overcome- the Senate and the President.
This is all show and bluster.

They went full retard rather quickly…
yes indeed, they are RETARDED! They just saw what gun control did in a bar in kalifornia! gun free zone, even security wasn’t armed! how does that work for you bitches? If security had been armed and a couple of citizens had concealed carry, the S.O.B. wouldn’t have made it 5 feet past the door! all those people or most would still be alive…these dirty traitorous ignorant S.O.B.’s are responsible for everyone that is killed because they didn’t have the means to protect themselves!!! imho
Don’t be too reliant on Trump, he has flipped before on guns. The only guiding principle Trump has is
himself.
Wake up….!!!
Let me see: these clowns want to pass laws that violate the US Constitution and its amendments. Well, that should become some expensive and prolonged court time if somehow, it passes.
After all, Illinois’s gun ownership rules are as strict as you can get and as the horse’s ass (mayor) of Deerfield found out, you can’t just do whatever you want to. Didn’t pass the sniff & scratch test, and was overturned.
Stop panicking. The NRA has had tougher stuff than this bunch of toads to deal with before this.
They know it won’t pass the senate, and if it does it’ll get vetoed with not enough votes to override. This is the long game.
Then in 2020 they can say that they tried to stop the gun violence but the evil, greedy, racist Republicans held it up. Hope and change all over again.
Okay, but it’s simple: the 2nd amendment provides the right to citizens to keep and bear arms.
The states have the right to produce legislation that controls what individuals may or may not do in regard to owning arms. Most of them already do have all of that in place.
This bunch of bimbos seem to want to override the US Constitution. Since every freaking state in the Union, no matter how tight-assed about it, has people who own guns and use them, obviously this hairball of a bimp is ignoring those simple facts and thinks she can do whatever she wants to.
She’s wrong. That is W-R-O-N-G, as in DEAD WRONG. Should be interesting, especially since there are more than adequate gun laws already in place in all 57 states.
Gun control has nothing to do with guns…
It’s about control of the masses.
Don’t kid yourself if you think it isn’t. Given enough time and power the d-rats would have us all in concentration camps, termed re-education camps if they could.
The new rep from NY is a true socialist and a true retard. That clown college graduate would love to have us groveling for food like Venezuela, Cuba and any other socialist country is.
These morons are incapable of learning new things that disagree with them, if it doesn’t fit their narrative, it cannot happen.
If a conservative says the sky is blue, they will disagree, just for the sake of argument as it gives them a chance at publicity, no matter how stupid they look, their followers will support them through anything.
The morons offered everything up to and including their heart to ruth buzzi ginsberg following her fall.
These idiots would go as far as sacrificing themselves in order to keep their ideals alive.
This is how committed they are to their idea of socialism, they don’t care who they kill, who they destroy or whose heads they bang together, it is their way, period…
I wonder if it will come to the time when we will have to defend our God Given Right to Self Defense against an out of control government.
I know that if this crap would have been put together in the early days of America, our Founding Fathers would have bodies swinging from trees…
That time could be tomorrow, they have 900 protests planned for all over the country! They truly are INSANE!
900, huh? Can you provide a link to that, desert?
Okay, I searched for that, and nothing, nada, zip came up. All the “big” protests were last spring or earlier, or back to 2016.
The only “protest” I could find was a bunch of musicians in Old Town in Chicago protesting the demise of the “old school” music haven they’ve been using for years on Rush Street, and they were all out on the street, entertaining passersby, and explaining their unhappiness at losing their home away from home.
So, 900 protests? Nope. Nothing.
I voted for a Democrat because he had an A+ rating from the NRA.
Need more Democrats to grow a pair and take back their party from the hate America crowd.
Guns have been, are and always will be a major deciding factor in our elections. A smart Democrat could carve themselves out a nice ace up the sleeve. I’m not saying reach across the aisle. More like work both sides of the street.
Screw dumocraps, if one was any good, any integrity and honor…HE WOULD NOT BE A DUMOCRAP! He suckered you in to get your vote, he will probably be the first in line to sign up for gun control…gully Vern, they wouldn’t lie would they? NO NOT A DUMOCRAP!
You are now on a strict decaf profile. You are rapidly approaching Zampolit’s level of rage.
Ranting at folks here is kinda counter productive eh?
Do you even know how the NRA gives a politico an “A” rating? From your rant, it doesn’t appear that you do, Desert.
So when they’re not trying to steal elections, they’re trying to steal guns. Every election cycle they find more and more reasons for me to never vote for one of them.
The second amendment is the one that ensures the rest. Let it fall and watch the others continue to get chipped away.
The rhetoric I see on the site make it clear most of you think rights are inalienable…
However, the actual ideological views, politicans, and policies you all support indicate that think rights are derived from the state; from government.
I don’t. So the gun control debate won’t change wether I am armed.
Dahell did you just try to say? Hittin’ the bottle early?
Cthulwho?
(Beavis voice)
“He is CornHolio!”
I don’t think rights come from the govts, state or fed, I do however think that they are supposed to ensure and defend those inalienable rights.
I don’t know what your talking about.
The left are the ones screaming “no guns” and “if it ain’t PC, you better not say it”. In case You missed the two inalienable rights I’m talking about here, it’s the right to free speech and the right own a gun.
A wether is a castrated ram sheep. So you’re a gelded sheep.
That explains a lot about you, Chthusquigglethrope, you imbecilic clodpole.
We have the right to bear arms, whether you like it or not. Jam it sideways and retreat to your pen. You can sniffle and snort en solo and be ignored.
Oh, wait – you don’t want to be ignored. Well, hallelujah, stultus immane mittam te, enormiter ingens ova, lac vobis.
“The rhetoric I see on the site make it clear most of you think rights are inalienable…”
Yes, the same “rhetoric” used by the founders of this country. We’re really a bunch of radicals here. 🙄
Yeah, you use the rhetoric but support policies and a president that do the opposite.
Shyt who loose?
And yet when pressed, you cannot provide a single example of your assertions.
Guess again.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness…”
Again with the rhetoric.
So only the rights in the bill of rights?
And only Americans have them?
You support policies and a president that are anethema to inalienable rights.
Now a founding document of our nation is rhetoric?
It’s “unalienable” Cuttlefish, and the document spells out “All Men.” I support policies and a president that puts America first.
Fuck you cuntboi, you are a prime moron, just like I wrote about above.
Gun control has nothing to do with guns…
It’s about control of the masses.
Don’t kid yourself if you think it isn’t. Given enough time and power the d-rats would have us all in concentration camps, termed re-education camps if they could.

I know that if this crap would have been put together in the early days of America, our Founding Fathers would have bodies swinging from trees…
Oh, and yes, our Bill of Rights does only apply to Americans, why the fuck would Mexicans come under our bill of rights, they aren’t citizens and therefor do not have the same constitutional rights that we have.
Yo, cuntclown, you have gone beyond stupid to potato, past imbecile, blown past retard all the way to algae infused slimebucket tomato paste…
What the phuck are you? what pile of cow shyt did you crawl out from under? You damned right only Americans have those rights, only Americans have had the balls to FIGHT for them and will continue to…so you better hide your maggoty ass under a rock somewhere before the shyt hits the fan IMHO!!
Nice try, Cornholio.
The Constitution is a document that spells out what a government is NOT allowed to do.
And yeah, it applies only to those in the US. Don’t believe me? Take a quick run up to Canada (you know, that place you leftists so dearly love, cause you’re too racist to head to Mexico), spout some potentially offensive nonsense, and see how that works out for you.
I won’t even get started on Iran, China, North Korea, fuck, even most of Europenuckistan.
“You support policies and a president that are anethema to inalienable rights”.
Be specific.
Exactly what policies do you think people on this site support?
Of course it won’t affect you. Liberals pose these laws for other people. If you are a good liberal you can do whatever you want and not face prosecution. So keep that pistol handy to shoot some teenager in the back sneaking in to your swimming pool after dark, or heck just fire rounds off your back porch at scary noises. Nothing bad will happen to you.
Chew toy/clean up on aisle 6. You again cthulpatooie? Did yo Mama not whoop you enough so you’ll be quiet when the adults are talking? Or did your last Dom/Mistress whip you better when you spouted off left wing, gun grabbing nonsense? Again,…Read the TAH FAQs. Again, what part “shall not be infringed” is that hard to understand? The 1st & 2nd A are the main things that have kept this Republic going as long as it has. Those and the brave Men and Women who have the same love of country that is evidenced by those on this site. When the last gun owning, Patriotic American is laid out dead, and the last privately owned weapon is confiscated, then can the heal of the despots be driven into the soft underbelly of you and your type. Then the streets will run red with your blood and the re-education camps will be crowded. There would be no third world shit hole countries and no vast oceans of socialistic communism if those people had a way to defend those certain inalienable rights. Thank you again for playing. Pompous Ass!
“heel, not heal, damnit” Just seeing that chutpatooie name got me all off thought track. Blew my entire original thought process on what I wanted to comment on….On the Happy Birthday Marine Post was the link from the retired Colonel. Had made mention y’all needed to read that link and check the comments, ie #3. Any way, that particular idiotic Pompous Ass had compared the Marine in the night club shooting to L H Oswald and the Kennedy assassination, pointing out that no “ex Marines’ (sic) should be allowed to have guns. This reminded me of a news cast where the Mother of one of the shooting victims was screaming that she did not want any hopes and prayers lifted up, she wanted complete and total gun control, and wanted all guns to be gone. I say again, don’t like it here, you can leave, Delta is ready when you are. And again, if this Country is so bad, why in dahell are so many people trying to get in? It can’t be because they all want to join the free shit army, can it?
Cornholio missed his weekly pegging from Trigglypuff and has decided to pollute the blog one more time with his/her mindless drivel, pontifications and postulations.
SquiggyPoodle
If numbnuts needs a reference to what you say, here is an example of Democrat privilege.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-california-yee/californias-senator-yee-indicted-on-gun-corruption-charges-idUSBREA331K720140404
What are think rights?
Hey, Cuntholio! Seeing as how you accused me of “hiding behind anonymity,” how’s about you post your full name instead of hiding behind a handle that implicitly endorses white supremacy and neonaziism?
If not, then kindly fuck off and shut up.
Now -that- is “an inconvenient truth” …
TOW, sounds like it’s “Commissar, Social Justice Warrior”, doesn’t it?
SquiggyPoodle!
That has crossed my mind, Chief. Inventing a new online identity in order to continue getting slapped around on a blog that banned him for being an obnoxious shitwad is exactly the kind of pathetic attention-whoring behavior we have come to expect from Commissar. But in fairness to Cuntholio, his/her/its/whatever’s grasp of the written English language is demonstrably superior to that exhibited by Commissar.
Sho’ nuff, Chief.
Did you not pay attention in grade school social studies, middle school civics, high school government class, or did the paint chips get to you?
Cthulhu does not know me.
That bunch of wimmins in that photo certainly do look rather smug.
I hope to see something similar soon in which they are hugely disappointed and show it.
Tears would be nice.
I love liberal tears, they taste like VICTORY!
The Libtards can “plan” and “pursue” all they want. Doesn’t mean they’re going to catch it.
Liberal Seattle voters (they outnumber the rest of the state) gave Washington a steaming pile of new “common sense” gun regulations. Two examples out of many changes:
If a gun is stolen from your home and used in a crime, YOU face a felony. You have a 5 day grace period to report the theft, so don’t go on vacation thinking your guns are ok locked up in a safe.
Gun purchasers also waive HIPPA regulations so bureaucrats can examine health records.
Just read that in the Borderline Bar & Grill shooting, there were six (6) police present during the shooting and unable to return fire. They were unarmed because they were following California gun regulations prohibiting anyone possessing guns in bars.
“Gun purchasers also waive HIPPA regulations so bureaucrats can examine health records.”
If you’re gonna quote such things ya might wanna use the correct acronym…HIPAA
“Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act”
My acronym OCD acting up again.
Cite that regulation which prohibits anyone from possessing guns in bars.
In most states it is verboten to concealed carry in a bar, especially if one is going to consume alcohol. It is by statute not a regulation. For example in CA, if you have a CCW and get caught carrying in a bar, you will lose your CCW, according to a an acquaintance with a CCW. I imagine the same applies to off duty cops.
In Maine you can carry in a bar as long as you are not under the influence. In other words, don’t do it.
There is no California law forbidding CCW in bars. If you have a CCW permit issued by the county sheriff or local police chief they set the standards, and some do forbid it while others just forbid the consumption of alcohol while CCW. Peace Officers are different, most department regulations forbid CCW and alcohol. Private property rights however allow bar owners to ban weapons, and a lot of bars have metal detectors at the door. Unless you are in on-duty status, you can’t get in-and yes there are times when you are on duty and actually can drink a beer.
California cops cannot carry, not even concealed, in bars – state law.
Well, if that’s widely known, what does it do other than make bars and their patrons targets for mass murder like those in the bar where the shooting took place?
That is absolutely PERFECT!!!!
Just another example of the Gun Free Zone fallacy, Ex. Murdering psychopaths are insane, but not stupid.
The Senate won’t go for it. The President won’t go for it. Most importantly, the Supreme Court won’t go for it. They can cry and posture and virtue-signal all they want.
Just remember, a
-one- Supreme Court decision threw out ever single piece of slavery-limiting compromise legislation, decades of it, and sought to nationally approve and mandate slavery -everywhere-
Dred Scott
The egomaniacs that did so lit the fuse on the bloodiest war we ever fought. We are -still- dealing with the fallout.
Put not your trust in the Supremes. Keep the legislature shackled, and the laws limited. Or watch some black-robed sophistry flush away any concept of “rights” by finding some tyrannical monstrosity “emanating in the penumbra”.
Fair point, along with the grotesquely-unconstitutional Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, by which democrats not only strengthened the institution of slavery, but compelled the entire country, including those states that prohibited slavery, to be complicit in the practice thereof.
Will the sales of ammo and guns rise because of that attempt to control other peoples’ lives?
Probably.
The more these wannabe-Darth Vader types try to tighten their grip, the more I seem to slide slightly further over to the opposite side of the fence.
I think they should get some professional help with their need to control the lives of other people.
Maybe but I doubt it. We might see a little jump for the holidays if sales are going well but seriously doubtful we will go back to 2012 craziness. I don’t think I am emotionally prepared to pay $.15 / round for bulk 22lr.
Even if the dems could get a bill through the house it would never clear the senate just to face a veto. But hey it gives em practice.
As soon as the bills start to hit the House floor, some folks allegedly on our side will start the rumors again, warning of “the coming shortage/ban/heffalump” and stuff will again start to fly off shelves.
People must have -huge- closets. I would have bet on mass household structural failure two panics ago.
Couch shaped pile of ammo crates, draped with blankets and throw-pillows.
Coffee table shaped pile of .22 bricks, covered with a beach towel and topped with family pictures and Cooper’s C-Stories books.
Non-working pair of fridges in garage, coolers loaded with 8-pound powder jugs, freezers full of primer bricks.
(Grin)
Dude, what were you doing in my house? LOL!
Y’know, 11B, you’ve given ma a great marketing idea. Create a “personal space” out of boxes of ammo. You build the shed, maybe with logs, to have that ‘getaway space’ where you can just sit with your feet up on the railing, quaffing a cold adult beverage, and look around you.
Do you see anything that remotely resembles guns or ammo? Why, no, of course not. Because being the clever fellow that you are, you bough the kit with hollow storage logs when building that lovely place to escape the crush and bustle of modern life, and every log in the wall hides boxes of ammo.
Just make sure you rotate the supply to keep the powder lively and dry.
Side comment:
Your responses sometimes seem one-off the referenced thread post, usually “down one level”. Only seeing it on your posts.

I was trying to tease the peppers who get a -teensy- bit carried away on one or two items. A balance is needed. But ammo packs well and is fun to expend so…
As to hideouts, there is now a small and vibrant industry geared to making stash furniture with hidden compartments for ready-to-hand firearms, hiding gun safes, and deep-concealment burglar-bafflers.
You can get a “stash clock” at Cabelas for a pistol. I have seen some pretty cool wall mount “dressing mirrors” that hid a pair of rifles between wall studs, with no more than 1/2 inch projecting past the wall surface. also bookcases that hide enough weapons for a Q shop from a James Bond flick.
Secret room bookcases are also a thing now.
They work for hiding other valuables, of course.
The dems are back on track to being the best sales people for firearms and ammo. I’m glad that a. no one has pointed that out to them or b. they refuse to acknowledge that fact.
I will give up my gun when the last criminal in the country has been hanged.
I’ll give up my gun when the last socialist libidiot d-rat is swinging from a tree…
You won’t be agreeably giving up your gun in your lifetime then.
But you may have little choice depending on the type of firearm/s it is.
The U.S.A schooling & University system is turning out leftist programmed thought bots everyday, taught what to think, not how to think.
All the anti-gunners have to do is make noise & demands for “gun control” and turn up on voting day to make a difference to the current state of affairs.
There are powerful anti-gun groups like the United Nations and anti-gunners like Prof. Rebecca Peters of IANSA anti-gun coalition working on a framework to limit the types of firearms Americans can own & all it would take for that to become reality is Democrat majority in both houses the way I see it.
American’s will still have the right to bear arms, but it will be laid out as to was those arms are.
Roger and Thunderstixx: I think you two are talking about the same type of person … criminal and socialist libidiot d-rat. Same Same.
[…] This Ain’t Hell… discusses the Democrats gun grabbing plans […]
No guns and no walls. No walls and no guns. These are not good ideas. Luis Rodrigo Perez is a Mexican national who was arrested in New Jersey for domestic violence. Last December, ICE filed a detainer on the illegal alien but Middlesex county New Jersey officials ignored it. So, Luis Rodrigo Perez was released and ICE wasn’t notified. For some reason, Luis Rodrigo Perez disappeared. Today, he is again in custody. He’s in Missouri where he is charged with murdering three people.
Free range people. It started with chickens.
And continues with sheep.
The problem the Left faces, is that most folks are not cowed by the antics of black-hooded mobs. The general response seems to be “top up some extra magazines and prepare to yell ‘bring it'”.
They cannot tolerate your defiance of their enforcers. Your terrified compliance with your masters’ commands is required to achieve the Radiant Future.
Terror -is- a feature of Leftist fantasyland, not a bug. can’t have the Wogs thinking they have a choice…
Otherwise, the Left would be howling for black-hoodie scalps. But all they do is tut-tut over targeting.
Slightly.
That lack of critique is a blindingly obvious “tell”.
Thus y’all will be disarmed, for Massas’ good.
Deny it, they will. Oh, loudly they will deny. But they mean to strip you of any meaningful say, because “no” is anathema when directed at them, and -nothing- ever invented says “no” to Tyrants and petty thugs like personal firearms.
Now -that- is an odd Web page malfunction…
11B, I took the liberty of removing your e-mail address from your comment, thinking you didn’t want it in the public domain. If I overstepped I apologize, and will repost it ASAP.
Thanks for that
Some sort of screwy Web page / browser hiccup. I certainly didn’t type it there.
Gun Control Laws and the politicians that pass them never do anything more than aid, abet and embolden criminals by assuring them via legislation that law-abiding people will be conveniently unarmed VICTIMS.
Bullies. That’s all they are. They are layers upon layers of bullies.
They don’t like being bullied themselves, because it hurts their feewings, but they are perfectly willing to do it to other people.
Put up with them my whole life. I guess it was good training, too. They don’t understand why you aren’t afraid of them, even a little bit. Shoe’s on the other foot, now. It must hurt.
Oh, dear, and I though retirement was going to be peaceful and serene and I could just get on with writing all those stories I made notes on, when I didn’t have time because I was working.
I don’t expect to see the sturmabteilung (stormtroopers) in this, because they have the pantifas. The Nazi youth groups were organized and welded to leaders who told them what to do. This bunch of overgrown children are more like chaff in the wind – fire a gun into the air (both barrels) and they’ll run like scared rabbits. And rabbits don’t move in herds.
But cats do!!! Wanna see some cat herding?
Looks like, again, that public school authorities had -yuge- warning that the California shitbag was going to be a problem.
https://www.foxnews.com/us/second-former-coach-says-california-bar-gunman-was-a-ticking-time-bomb
Personally, if some punk expresses stupid shit to me about enlisting for stupid/evil reasons, I -will- dime him out to the local recruiters.
Thunderstixx is correct.
Gun control has nothing to do with guns.
That’s why all arguments to reason, logic and public safety fall on deaf ears.
Of course we would all be safer if concealed carrying cops and citizens are around.
Armed citizens cannot be herded onto the trains to the camps like unarmed subjects can.
Armed citizens can’t be forced to accept millions of poor foreigners who won’t integrate into the larger society.
They would band together to form local self defense militias if the police do nothing.
What are unarmed subjects going to resist with?
Just look at Mexico. The people are oppressed by both the criminals AND the police.
