Top Senate Republican: We’re Not Banning Rifles

I want this nightmare to end. The more Democrats and Republicans talk about gun control, the more nervous I get. Bipartisanship could yield good things, but often it’s both parties working to chip away rights and freedoms from its citizens. 

Government used to be a place where people came together. It’s now a place where the political class ends up screwing us, the taxpayer, in more ways than one. Remember the Clinton Foundation, where the wealthy and well-connected dropped massive checks and then would have a favor returned somewhere down the line? Well, expand that dynamic to an entire city—and that’s Washington, DC. 

The good news is that there doesn’t appear to be a new ban on modern sporting rifles in the mix. There doesn’t appear to be a ban on common firearm magazines as well. Texas Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), who is slated to take over as Senate Republican leader once Mitch McConnell leaves, is hurling some dice with these new gun control talks. Read more and see tweets here.
