CNN, which dragged Sen. Marco Rubio into the lion’s den last Wednesday to be jeered by an emotional crowd ready to pass anything related to gun control, appended a correction to a piece that ran on its website Sunday.
.@CNN story is wrong. https://t.co/p1aK4K9UGw I said a ban on ALL Semi-Auto rifles which includes this hunting rifle is outside mainstream pic.twitter.com/sqM0W4usfn

They still can’t get right what Rubio said at their own town hall — that a ban on ALL semi-automatic rifles is outside the mainstream, and certainly not supported by Democrats.
We knew it wouldn’t be long, though, before a Democrat did try to introduce a ban on all semi-automatic weapons.

Today I joined @RepCicilline and 150+ of my colleagues to introduce the assault weapons ban. It’s time for Congress to listen to the will of a majority of Americans and pass sensible legislation to get these weapons of war off our streets. #NeverAgain #MSDStrong

Note Rep. Ted Deutch using the words “assault weapons” and “weapons of war,” and then read this paragraph from The Washington Examiner:
The bill prohibits the “sale, transfer, production, and importation” of semi-automatic rifles and pistols that can hold a detachable magazine, as well as semi-automatic rifles with a magazine that can hold more than 10 rounds. Additionally, the legislation bans the sale, transfer, production, and importation of semi-automatic shotguns with features such as a pistol grip or detachable stock, and ammunition feeding devices that can hold more than 10 rounds.
Cicilline’s legislation names 205 specific firearms that are prohibited, including the AK-47 and AR-15.

Good thing the right hasn’t been saying for years this is what they actually wanted. Good for them for growing a spine. https://t.co/Iaw2qhfdl8

Without exception, any debates I’ve had with ardent gun-control activists inevitably ends with: “actually, I just think all guns should be banned.” https://t.co/OdnZH34ybJ

You know, I'm sure once this ban passed, the Democrats would be totally content stopping there instead of banning the sale of all guns or confiscating others. https://t.co/28iYY5aH1B

So far:
1. Dems would rescind your tax cuts and STILL increase the deficit at faster rates.
2. Dems would severely curtail your constitutional right to bear arms.
3. Dems would oppose Obamacare repeal.
And that’s just for starters.
They’re on a roll. ? https://t.co/AKhs3JzOSg
