Firearms, supposedly, are not allowed in House Floor.

Not important. There are many important things going on. This ain't one of them.
AR-15s are here to stay.
Lol. Sorry. Nothing is forever. Change up SCOTUS and presto chango abortion rights are gone, AR 15s could be gone, whatever we vote for can be preserved or be gone.
Yep. Time for a new SCOTUS. Overturn Heller and Citizens United.
Cool. Then it becomes a state’s right issue just like abortion.
And there are a bunch of states that will NEVER be banning AR-15’s. Just like there are states that will NEVER ban abortion.
And that’s how it will be. Fine with me.
No. The U.S. Constitution has primacy. This is not a matter for states’ rights.
Exactly.

Biden's nominee for SCOTUS testified that Heller is the law of the land, just as Trump's picks said about Roe. Should she be impeached if she votes to overturn Heller?

This AR-15 "good guys with guns" stuff is just some kind of dumb far-right form of virtue signaling. They view guns as the solution to everything. And sadly many of the most outspoken 2A proponents don't even understand their own guns' capabilities and limitations.

Perhaps they can wear pins with gas stoves instead. Those also seem to be causing libs to lose their minds lately.
What? It’s cons who are losing their minds over gas stoves. Haven’t you seen all the fuss Fox News and Repub politicians are generating over them?
It’s kind of hilarious because liberal areas have way higher numbers of gas stoves and red areas.
CALIFORNIA has the highest percentage of households using gas for cooking. So cons are trying to raise a ruckus in defense the lifestyles of liberal elites! Lol

It shouldn’t be an insult to anyone except those advocating using force of law and police violence to take lawfully owned rifles away from Americans who legally own them.
The AR-15 is THE most common long gun/rifle in America. There are more AR-15’s than there are minivans on the road. These pins make it clear to everyone they stand against disarming the American people. I support that.
when these guns are outlawed they get rid of most of them with a buy back program so relax and stop spouting nonsense. no one is coming to forcibly take your precious gun. most will sell it when they realize it is good for nothing and they would rather have the cash.
And Santos is a garbage representative by all accounts so anything that crook does should be viewed with high suspicion.
Didn’t these folks PAY for the guns? They already made the decision they’d rather have a gun than cash.
If the guns are outlawed, isn’t that forcibly taking them back?
When the guns are outlawed, as they were for a decade and will be again, I am guessing people will be take their cash back.
Owners will be paid for them. They will not just be taken away.

The Heller decision made it abundantly clear that guns “in common use” are protected by our Constitution. I’m not really sure you can cite a rifle more common than an AR-15. There is an AR-type rifle in more than 10% of American households. They aren’t going anywhere.
This is incorrect. AR-15s represent less than 5% of the guns in America. And your math is way off, because you can't just divide the number of AR-15s by the number of households because they are not evenly distributed across households. Some of you AR fetishists have a bunch of them rather than just one in your household.
Sorry, but your numbers are incorrect.
There are 400,000,000 guns in the US. Of those, 32,000,000 are AR-15 rifles. Another 8-9,000,000 are AR-15 pistols. Another 20,000,000 are rifles that are similar to, but not, AR-pattern type firearms, which are essentially functionally equivalent. So call that ~60,000,000 in total. AR-15 type firearms represent about 15% of all firearm types in the US. That is the single largest group of firearms, by type, and the most common type of rifle, by an enormous margin. A person is more likely to own an AR-15 than any other type of rifle.
They are far more common than most people here seem to understand. Just because you might not know anyone who owns one (as statistically unlikely as that is) it doesn’t mean tens of millions of Americans don’t.
