"Life is tough. It's tougher when you're stupid!"
The above line is generally attributed to John Wayne, but there's no evidence to support this. However, New Mexico's Senator Martin Heinrich is showing that someone can be just as stupid even with an easy life.
Heinrich, Arizona's Sen. Mark Kelly and others have introduced an unconstitutional extremist anti-gun bill.
The Piñon Post reported:
In a recent move that has stirred controversy, U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich, along with Democrat Senators Angus King of Maine, Mark Kelly of Arizona, and Michael Bennet of Colorado, introduced the extremist Gas-Operated Semi-Automatic Firearms Exclusion (GOSAFE) Act to outlaw most firearms in the United States.
Heinrich claimed there is an urgent need for Congress to take away Americans’ right to bear arms by banning some of the most popular weapons in the country.
The proposed legislation will negatively impact law-abiding gun owners while neglecting the root causes of violence.
The GOSAFE Act seeks to regulate gas-operated semi-automatic weapons by establishing a list of prohibited firearms, preventing unauthorized modifications, and mandating pre-approval for future designs. The bill has a few exceptions but still bans rifles with 10 rounds or more — a majority of AR-15s and other rifles. One in 20 Americans own an AR-15 rifle.
The article then lists the exempted firearms.
The bill is clearly unconstitutional. The Heller decision by the U.S. Supreme Court held that banning the legal sale and possession entire classes of firearms is unconstitutional.
