So Barbara Boxer is going to ban assault rifles then?

[vincnet11]

The ads say so, at least thats what I've heard.

[Dr Rockso]

Yep, unilaterally.

[BayAreaShooter]

It would not surprise me at all.

[NiteQwill]

She would like to but the rest of the dems know that voting on such an issue would be political suicide. So, very, very unlikely.

The Republicans control the House, Barbara can generate a bill, try and get sponsors, get it introduced to committee, but its an uphill battle, many Democrats are still shell shocked from this years elections and most likely won't be interested in pushing gun control. If any bill does pass the Senate, it has to to to the House committee...good luck. Pro-gun forces will squash it in committee.

So if Boxer does try to ban AWs is there any legal action that can be taken against her?

[five.five-six]

an AW bill in NV would go over like a fart in church

^^ This

She's already been the incumbent and there has been nothing federally introduced.
But trying to introduce something now (FEDERALLY) after her reelection, she won't get very far.
It's not gonna happen now that the GOP has House majority. At least not by her or anyone soon. The most she can do is continue destroying CA.

BAAAAAAAAA! BAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

[Apocalypsenerd]

I doubt the Dems want to pick a fight over a losing social issue after the whupping they got tonight.

[a1c]

The Dems have understood a long time ago this issue was neither winnable nor a priority for their electorate.

Yeah, but it causes a lot of people here to wet themselves!

Nationally.

Locale-based politics still has its problems.

And we have Obama agency heads hanging up the Korean Garand issue. I hope the NRA begins its *****'slappin campaign soon.
