Will use my tie breaker if needed to stop this repeal.
The assault weapon ban was one of the centre pieces of progressive reform carried out by Labor, survived a challenge in court and other repeal efforts. I’d urge senators to put public health and common sense first and vote against this repeal.
I echo these sentiments
Anyways NAY on the amendment, it seems some people want to use this a cop out thinking that only legalizing some dangerous weapons somehow would make us safer. If people want to vote for this, they should vote for the whole thing, I'm not going to let people hide behind bad policy because they supported only marginally less bad policy. Make no mistake this amendment is just as dangerous as a full repeal, it only has the facade of being more safe, assault weapons are assault weapons and legalizing even a single one is an incredibly dangerous step.
