I agree. 

That is because the Second Amendment is still a second class right.  Or maybe a third or fourth class right.

Pandering to their base.

The legislature would have to be truly retarded to offer up a federal ban like this to be brought before the courts today.

Some of their true believers are that stupid, but the leadership is not.

I suspect they are aware of that but note how they've shifted their focus lately to attacking the firearms industry itself. How much damage could this wreak in the firearms industry before it can be slapped down? Wouldn't take much for many to be pushed out of business after such a bill makes illegal a large, in some cases all, part of their business.
IMHO the dems are taking a scorched earth approach here and if it doesn't get slapped down even better in their opinion for them.

Doesn't mean it's going to pass but it bears watching.

It might cause a lot of damage.  You are assuming it will be slapped down, just because it violates Federal Law, as well as common sense.  I think the courts will continue to allow these kinds of lawsuits, because most courts detest gun ownership. 

The Supreme Court had an opportunity to apply the law and stop an illegal lawsuit against a gun manufacturer a few years ago.  They punted.

Not sure what to make of this but my  [tinfoil] sense is tinging

Quote
Why would the Census Bureau request customer records from American gun holster companies?

That is the question AmmoLand News is asking. Several major holster manufacturers/providers received notices from the Department of Commerce Census Bureau requesting order numbers, product descriptions, and where the items were being shipped. A few holster companies have refused to turn over the requested information to the federal government.

The Census Bureau claims that these companies are bound by law to turn over all requested information.

Maybe they are trying to use them as a proxy to determine gun ownership distribution by state?

I know some researchers have used print gun magazine sales.

According Bearing Arms they're a few votes short in the house on the assault weapons ban bill.
Don't have details because it's in their VIP section but if anyone has access.

House Democrats still short on votes on "assault weapons" ban

Debate on the ban bill
Good God they're idiots saying the most idiotic things

Looks like they threw in a repeal of the The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act in a bill named "Equal Access to Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act"

Well guess who?
Not even sure what he's even trying to get at. Not sure he knows either.

Gun control activist David Hogg has an outburst during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on gun violence and is escorted out by police.

Sounds like attempted insurrection to me.

Pistol wounds are so miniscule, doctors have a hard time even finding the wound. AR-15s on the other hand...

Rep. Lucy McBath
@RepLucyMcBath
With assault rifles, exit wounds can be a foot wide. The victim’s skull explodes on impact. Organs rupture, bones shatter, the shards serve as shrapnel and tear tissue to pieces.

There is a reason we never see the images after a mass murder—many of the bodies no longer exist.

The American gun industry has effectively “captured” the law enforcement agency charged with regulating it, according to a new report from the Giffords Law Center recommending a host of changes at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
