It’s the weaponization of weapons, wouldn’t’cha know.House Judiciary postpones pistol brace rule markup after Nashville shooting
The House Judiciary Committee postponed a scheduled Tuesday markup on a resolution to nullify a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) pistol brace rule following the mass shooting at a Nashville, Tennessee, school on Monday.
“Democrats were going to turn this tragic event into a political thing,” Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) told The Hill on Monday evening.
Punchbowl News first reported that the hearing would be postponed.
Police said a 28-year-old woman killed three nine-year-olds and three adult staff members at Covenant School, a private Christian school in Nashville, on Monday. Authorities said the shooter had assault-style weapons and a handgun.
The ATF rule that Republicans are seeking to nullify would reclassify pistols that have a stabilizing brace as short-barreled rifles, and require those with existing pistols that have stabilizing braces to register with the government by May 31, 2023.
“This issue we wanted to mark up tomorrow that we’ll mark up here in a couple of weeks as is all about the Constitution,” Jordan said. “You had an agency tell Americans the rule was one thing. Ten years later, they just changed the rule without going through Congress. So, this is a Constitutional concern, but Democrats had already been talking about making everything political, so we just decided to postpone.”
The Justice Department in announcing the rule said that the new regulation ensures that manufactures, dealers, and individuals who use stabilizing braces to convert pistols into rifles with a barrel of less than 16 inches should comply with the laws of short-barrel rifles. That marks a change from 2012, when the ATF said pistol attachments do change the classification of a pistol.
“In the days of Al Capone, Congress said back then that short-barreled rifles and sawed-off shotguns should be subjected to greater legal requirements than most other guns. The reason for that is that short-barreled rifles have the greater capability of long guns, yet are easier to conceal, like a pistol,” ATF Director Steven Dettelbach said in a statement in January. “But certain so-called stabilizing braces are designed to just attach to pistols, essentially converting them into short-barreled rifles to be fired from the shoulder. Therefore, they must be treated in the same way under the statute.”

You mean when there is gun violence you are not allowed to look at the firearm legislation as it would look political?

the part below the link drew my response. It’s still there.I deleted that part of my post.
I live in a country, where you can:Never too many to count.
What we can close are loopholes in laws. We could amend the constitution, repeal the second amendment...Rewrite it to make sense in the modern world, where the only militias are run by white supremacist domestic terrorists.
Allow people to have fire arms, but under a lot stricter controls. No magazines with more than 6 rounds. for anything. Anywhere. Ever.
Bump stocks and any other prohibited modifications will land you at least ten years in prison. Anyone caught in possesion of or manufacturing 3d printed weapons, same penalty. No civilian reloading, only businesses will be able to buy the equipment, the primers, or the powder to do so, same penalty for possessing it illegally.
NO more person to person sales, ever. You go through a licensed dealer, or you go to jail.
NO more constitutional carry. You prove a need, you take a class, and you can NEVER carry in a bar, at a public facility like a park or a school, anywhere that doesn't apply to your stated need on your permit...If you got it for work reasons, you better be doing work while carrying it.
All of this ^ is no more than the rest of the world does to keep things under control. It works for them. It will work for us.
The rules and laws you live under will not work in America. Guns in schools are no problem? What country are you from and what is the gun culture like there? Are there no mentally ill people in your country? Perhaps that's where the licensing thing comes into play.What you demand will not work.
Most places don't allow guns and that guy is probably from Finland with huge military reserves and a more rural lifestyle. If you want a place to compare, compare to Canada, we share the same culture and have different gun laws. Most gun murders in Canada are committed using smuggled American guns and we have a lot less per capita than America.It's a culmination of factors. A uniquely American situation. I place the blame on something within our culture, Americans have a very unhealthy relationship with violence and the tools used to do it. Other countries have the access to both the weapons and our media...but they don't have this situation daily. It's how those two factors come together here, but I don't have any insight as to why.
It is the Post a step up from National Enquirer. + this guy wasn't trans..a man's man, what was his excuse?View attachment 5275807
Transgender Nashville school shooter drew chilling images and cartoons
Audrey Hale, who shot and killed six people on Monday in a Nashville school, published their art online. Works included a drawing from 'The Shining' and an image referencing wanting to remain a child.www.dailymail.co.uk
Very dramatic headlines rub me the wrong way from either side of the political spectrum
My guess is Switzerland.Most places don't allow guns and that guy is probably from Finland with huge military reserves and a more rural lifestyle. If you want a place to compare, compare to Canada, we share the same culture and have different gun laws. Most gun murders in Canada are committed using smuggled American guns and we have a lot less per capita than America.
Switzerland?I live in a country, where you can:
-have a magazine with more than 6 rounds (i actually have some)
-do relading in your home, no problem to own gunpowder ( i actually have some)
-sell to another person (I bought two shotguns this way)
-you can carry wherever you want, except some prohibited places, like banks, parliament, minsters office,...(no problem to take gun to school)
You have to have a licence to own guns and they are registrated.
No mass shooting here. Gun violence very exceptional.
What you demand will not work.
