Rifles aren’t necessarily “slower to load,” are you speaking specifically of bolt-action rifles with this? It’s about the same amount of time and steps to load a magazine into an AR15 rifle as it is a semi-auto pistol. Unfortunately that also makes them effective in an unlawful mass shooting situation.

yeah but the rifle holds only a few rounds. so the time it takes per bullet is significantly longer for a rifle.

I do not speak for the organization and any opinions I shared on this topic are my own and not theirs. (i just help post information about events for them).

the supreme court gets to decide this. And considering some of the recent rulings about due process, I am hopeful.

🚨 🚨🚨 RED ALERT TIME SENSITIVE: This is serious!

Call your senators now and tell them to vote NO on the CR. Senators will vote on this tomorrow (3/13/25) . There is no time to loose!

We need Democratic Senators to hold the line and not allow this CR to pass. It gives Trump more power on the budget and hurts Americans. The Democrats can stop it. It cannot be moved to a floor vote without 60 senators. Republicans don't have 60.

What this CR aims to do: Republicans want to give up the right to vote on budget issues for the next 6 months and instead give complete control to the president.

They are using the risk of a government shutdown to push this bill. Dont let them do this! This bill will grant Trump with king-powers to further dismantle the U.S government departments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPzO9qi-yvI https://www.govexec.com/federal-news/2025/03/house-passes-gop-funding-bill-avoid-government-shutdown/403665/

If a shutdown happens it will be blamed on democrats but this is better than the alternative . TELL YOUR SENATOR THIS! Because right now they are undecided on how to vote.
