WASHINGTON — Sen. Angus King of Maine was introducing a gun control bill Thursday that he said would regulate the sale, transfer, and manufacture of gas-operated semi-automatic weapons.

King, an Independent, and Democratic Sen. Martin Heinrich, of New Mexico, were introducing the bill together, called the Gas-Operated Semi-Automatic Firearms Exclusion (GOSAFE) Act.

    It’s written such that it does nothing but cause fear. This is essentially a blanket ban, with some exceptions, on every rifle designed in the last 100 years since it explicitly bans guns that dont have permanently fixed magazines, and it doesn’t get smarter from there. This bill is basically a campaign add against democratics.

      If Democrats would pull their heads out their asses and cut it out with the ineffective gun laws, just imagine the single-issue voters they would pull.
