109 Members of Congress Want AR Pistols Regulated Under the NFA Like Machine Guns :: 04/01/2021

The House Civilian Disarmament Caucus Gun Violence Prevention Task Force has written a letter to the desiccated husk that sometimes sits at the Resolute desk, asking him to do to AR platform pistols what President Trump did to bump stocks.

First they came for the bump stocks, but I didn’t own one, so I didn’t object. Then they came for the pistol braces, but I didn’t own one, so I said nothing. Then they came for the AR pistols . . . .

One hundred and nine signatories are imploring President BidenHarris to instruct the ATF to regulate AR pistols as if they’re machine guns, “consistent with the intent and history of the (NFA) law.” This august group of legislators clearly saw an opportunity to effectively wipe out a class of popular, widely owned guns after Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa used a Ruger AR-556 pistol to shoot up a King Soopers store in Boulder, killing 10 people including a cop.

Note that, thanks to the wordsmith who wrote the letter, we now have a new scare term for these perfectly legal guns: “concealable assault-style firearms.” If that doesn’t send shivers down your spine, nothing will.

The 109 House members are using the old cop-killer smear against AR and AK pistols, writing that, “The concealability and ability to use ammunition capable of penetrating body armor make these firearms especially dangerous on our streets and for law enforcement personnel.”

Here’s the letter . . .
