And now, a ban on "high powered rifles" - Ban on sale of high-powered rifles in hours-long Naperville City Council meeting

Ban on sale of high-powered rifles in hours-long Naperville City Council meeting

Incrementalism and shifting of the language. Death of 2A by 1,000 cuts.

 

[ManualF150]

I still don’t understand “high-powered”...

Some might think a 22lr is high-powered if you never shot a gun before...

Something like a 50bmg is medium powered in my books.

I want a Desert Eagle in 50AE.

Next thread in 3,2,1…..
What is a “high powered rifle”?

 

[Nighttrain]

Coming to a city near you.

On the list will be anything that the AR platform can fire, a ban on .223, 5.56, 300 etc ammunition.

So afraid, so afraid

 

[FRANKIE]

For those who own a Browning high power
Your former pistol is now a rifle.

 

[Bigfoot]

I'm anti ban anything. Freedom can be scary. So yeah, fuck them.

Don't like the channel, change the channel.
Don't want one, don't get one.
Not your thing, move on MYOB.

But if something must be banned. I say, ban stupid people.
There are way too many high powered dumbasses around.

As opposed to all those low powered rifles.

$1000 fine, then for each subsequent "offense" $2500. Oh no! How much is the fine if you don't bring it to the public range or bring it to show and tell at the local police station?

Yes, it is a lame ordinance that won't be triggered often. However the piecemeal, precedent setting establishment of these bans/ rules/ laws have the cumulative effect of shifting societal norms.

 

[Jmac00]

27 other states don't care. Go to the next town over, and buy whatever you want.

Next is the .17 benjamin assault air rifle of war

 

[tirwin1]

Virtue signaling over common sense. Happens all too frequently.

 

[redtail]

Irreconcilable differences.

 

[SomeSoldier]

If 5.56 is high-powered what is 25mm?

 

[Bigfoot]

IDK, "high powered" ... I like the sound of that. It just flows off the tongue. What's not to like?

Except if it's related to Taco Bell or something like that.

That dude up north there... in ummm.. Canada thinks .177 air guns are deadly and need to be banned.

Let's not feed the pigeons...

 

[Acer-m14]

i say ban City Councils ..

 

[Acer-m14]

i guess the uss missouri 16 inch guns are low power ..

How fast does a 16 inch shell travel?


2,690 feet per second

They fired projectiles weighing from 1,900 to 2,700 lb (860 to 1,220 kg) at a maximum speed of 2,690 feet per second (820 m/s) with a range of up to 24 mi (39 km). At maximum range the projectile spent almost 1½ minutes in flight. Each turret required a crew of 79 men to operate.

 

[That_FNG]

Well I think the thing to do is call on the Naperville police to give up and destroy all their high powered rifles and high powered handguns in the name of public safety. It is simply too big a risk allowing such weapons of war to be on Naperville public streets where any criminal might get access to them.

 

[Bigfoot]

Why do the Naperville police need high powered weapons of war?

Who are they at war with?

 

[Acer-m14]

can i pass a law to ban high power cop cars .. no need to travel fast .. 10mph max i think is reasonable like the magazine limits lmao

 

[Saltwater60]

I would think all centerfired rifles are high powered under this. They have been trying to ban them for some time now.

That is kind of what they are trying to do.

"Some might think a 22lr is high-powered if you never shot a gun before..."

There's the entire problem. People who don't know $hit about rifles are allowed to "think" and then take action . IE Politicians and rights activist groups. What is the difference between an AR-15 and a mini 30 in the same cal ? Answer...Pistol grip. A Remington 7400 in 30.06 has far more range and impact, yet...and I repeat yet....is not included on any "assault" rifle ban list. And as a side note...No assault rifle only fires semi auto (legally)..so WTF are they talking about? Politicians and anti gun rights people should have to take some sort of "think" test before being allowed to do anything that affects law abiding citizens. "THINK" about that Hochul..Bidoon...shiff...nader....

That part of it does get very aggravating, to say the least.

There you go again, using knowledge and common sense!

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

Oh snap grampappys Remington 700 is probably on the list, fuddlife is triggered now

 

[FP1201]

Always with a new spin on what they can vilify with wording. I expected it to be "Sniper Rifles" and missed Biden's cue on high power/blow your lungs out being the next new evil... they somewhat tried it with .50BMG rifles, but it was such a heavy, cumbersome novelty that the public didn't bite one it, so "High Powered Rifles" will be the new poster child for the anti-gun chanters.

Hochul’s doing a good job of this as well with her new law. Just wait until the load of fudds go to cabelas to buy their 5 deer slugs this year and it costs them $25.00.
