They are getting smarter and more malicious with their bills
There is a new anti-gun bill in the Senate, sponsored by Senators King and Heinrich.
The GOSAFE Act.
What does GOSAFE stand for?
THE GAS-OPERATED SEMI-AUTOMATIC FIREARMS EXCLUSION (GOSAFE) ACT
The laughable aspect of the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban was that it was so easy to get around the ban by removing certain features like adjustable buttstocks, flash hiders, and bayonet lugs.
You could buy any number of rifles that were functionally the same as a banned gun, except for some cosmetic and ergonomic features.
This bill cuts right to the heart of the issue by going after gas operated guns, regardless of features.
Senator Heinrich created this handy little diagram to show what will be regulated.
The actual text of the bill states that any gas, blowback, or recoil operated semi-automatic centerfire rifle is considered gas operated.
The bill also requires all high capacity magazines to be serialized like a firearm to prevent illegal transfer after the date the bill goes into effect.
It also prevents the transfer of all prohibited magazines, including to descendants.
Senator Heinrich, very graciously, has offered to buy back your guns and magazines before they have to be seized after you die because they can’t be inherited by your family.
The GOSAFE Act will prevent stockpiling of these lethal firearms and large capacity magazines, and also ensure no one loses the value of any firearms they currently have, by establishing a voluntary buy-back program, which would allow firearm owners to voluntarily turn over and receive compensation for non-transferrable firearms and magazines as defined by this legislation.
This bill is so blatantly unconstitutional it’s almost silly, but they did it anyway.
They finally got enough technical knowledge to write a bill that did exactly what they wanted and cut off avenues for compliant run-arounds.
After the George Floyd riots, 10/7, and the pro-Hamas pogroms, the idea of gun control should be absolutely dead for any reasonable citizens.
This tells me they want the mob to be able to terrorize you.
Reloading: Sizing Dies – Part 5
(3650 words)
When a cartridge is fired, the powder burning creates high pressures. 9MM has a maximum average pressure of 35,000psi. A 7.62×51 NATO has a maximum pressure of 60,200psi. These pressures are high enough to move metal.
1/16″ to 3/5″ brass pipe fittings and standard nipples can be used up to 300psi. In certain applications, the pressure can go to 1000PSI, maybe.
What this means is that if the cartridge case is not supported, it will burst under nominal pressures. This process of the case expanding is a “good thing”. It acts to obturate the flow of gasses around the case and out the breach.
For a cartridge to fit into the supporting chamber, it must be slightly smaller, in all dimensions, than the chamber. If it was an exact match, the round would be difficult to chamber.
When the round is fired, it “fire forms” the case to match the chamber. When the pressure goes down, the metal moves back towards its original size, slightly. This allows it to be extracted from the chamber, more easily.
To help with the extraction process, cases are often designed with a slight taper. When the cases are extracted, as soon as they move back even a small amount, they lose contact with the chamber walls.
When we speak of “straight walled” cases, we typically include these slightly tapered cases.
When the size of the diameter of the bullet is significantly less than the diameter of the case, the case needs to be “necked down”. This creates a “bottleneck cartridge”.
A bottleneck cartridge has pressure pushing the brass forward when the round is fired. This causes the case to stretch a little.

I beg your f***ing pardon?
On calling or the genocide of Jews:
“If the speech becomes conduct, it can be harassment.”
Watch this.
Two presidents of IVY league universities were asked if calling for the genocide of Jews goes against the school’s rules.

So, for the blonde Ivy League biatch, genocide is only harassment, not even a felony crime and much less a crime against humanity.
Remember: It is Hate Speech only if they deem so and you say it. They are never wrong nor hateful even when they drop Zyklon-B down the vent.
Layes and layers of editorial oversight.
And the video.
Can I get one of those flare guns at Bass Pro?
No? How come? Oh yeah, the real story is not quite the same as the title.
A home exploded in Arlington, Virginia, on Monday night and rocked a neighborhood with a powerful blast after police responded to a report of someone firing a flare gun, authorities said.
Police received reports of a man firing a flare gun from a home on the 800 block of North Burlington Street at around 4:45 p.m.
Hours later, at around 8:30 p.m., officers were trying to execute a search warrant when the suspect allegedly fired multiple rounds, according to authorities. Then the home exploded.

Was the title simply bad writing by the Intern on Duty or just an attempt of clickbait/rating hunting?
Both would be right. Once again: They are not in the Truth business but the News business.
