Senate Republicans introduced legislation codifying the right of Americans to both own guns and use them for self-defense outside the home on Thursday. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., announced the legislation alongside fellow members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, saying they intended to codify the court rulings in two key gun rights cases into law. The cases, Washington, D.C. v. Heller and New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen, found, respectively, that Americans have an individual right to bear arms irrespective of participation in a militia, and that they have the right to carry firearms outside their homes. "There's nothing in the Second Amendment about ‘You can own a gun in your home and nowhere else,’" Graham said in a press conference announcing the legislation. "[Liberals] want to change that law, and if they get control of the Supreme Court these cases will change." "This is a concerted effort to attack the fundamentals of the Second Amendment as part of an effort to maintain control of the Senate, take back the House and win the White House," he continued. "To conservatives, this is a wake-up call. We need you. Understand what's going on here." |

Hold on....I thought all republicans were the same and part of the 'uniparty'. Which is it?

Nice window dressing. Good luck getting it past the Dem controlled Senate and then getting the Potato in the White House to sign it.

At least they're honest about pandering for votes. |

I'll believe that sneaky little fuckface did something decent when it passes, gets signed into law, and all the television talking heads are wailing and gnashing their teeth over it.

Look at all the bills they sat on when they had both houses and the presidency. This is just a show for stupid people.

Introduced by the same ball cupper that gargles J6 insurgency Kool-aid among other fluids.

At best redundant, at worst lowering the bar for the left by lending credibility to their absolutely ridiculous arguments where they redefined militia, well regulated, and anything and everything else they don't like.

Amazing how republicans introduce all kinds of shit when they know they don't have the power to pass it. Remember all the great stuff we got in the first half of Trumps term when they controlled everything? In case you forgot here is a short list of things they accomplished in those two years
Nothing Nada Diddle Squat Jack shit |

Stupid idea. If they make a law that says "THIS is where you can exercise your rights", then that means somebody else can also make a law that says "This is where you CAN'T".
Yes, I realize there are already plenty of the latter examples. But we don't need any more. |

Is this the same group of people who just signed a bill strengthening Biden's EO on selling guns?
Now they're going to try to cover by introducing a bill that will go absolutely nowhere? https://www.ar15.com/forums/General/Republicans-Helped-Biden-Implement-Backdoor-Universal-Background-Checks-Gun-Advocates-Say/5-2630907/ |

They should just pass a law stating that the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Hold on....I thought all republicans were the same and part of the 'uniparty'. Which is it? LOL... they introduced it in a year it will be impossible to pass or get signed? How do you not see that? December 2015, Full Repeal bill sent to Obama's desk which was promptly vetoed. Yet in February 2017 with full control of CONgress RepubliCONs couldn't find the votes to copy/paste that 2015 bill and sent it to Trump's desk. |

Quoted: Quoted: Hold on....I thought all republicans were the same and part of the 'uniparty'. Which is it? Why wasn't this done in 2017-2019? Because we had a president that might be willing to sign it into law. Now this has zero chance of being signed into law, so it's safe to pretend they are fighting for us while we ignore the gun control they needlessly passed last year. |

Republicans seem to only want to push for legislation when they know it won't go through.
It's Conservative virtue signaling. When they own the House and the Senate they never do such things. |

So as a gesture it’s as meaningless as Graham’s words. ETA: and also I can’t believe there are still people out there that fall for this shit. I bet those same people also believe they were randomly selected to receive millions of dollars by an honorable barrister in Nigeria. |

Sure does highlight just how far we’ve fallen.
It’s already codified you morons. What needs to be codified is that those who seek to intentionally and willingly subvert the Constitution and directives of the Supreme Court shall be considered traitors to the Republic and prosecuted for Subversion and/or Treason. Period Show us that legislation GOP- that’s what needs to be codified |
|
We already have that in the constitution.
The only good a law could do is to add criminal penalties for violators. This would mean the governor of my state could be thrown in federal prison for violating the rights of New Jerseyans. I’m not interested in anything else. |
