    Non-WC thread for those interested in his views:

    Barr's testimony from 1991 on assault clipazines:

    On the DeConcini amendment, I would prefer a limitation on the clip size. But ultimately, I would recommend the President sign a bill that had the Brady waiting period and the DeConcini assault weapons provisions in it as long as we had other tough crime measures in it that dealt with the other problems.

    against large capacity clips, was for the assault ban, and pro-waiting period.:tdown::tdown: Maybe someone should press whether his views have evolved.

    Keep in mind, DOJ views can influence the Supreme Court on cases.


    The DeConcini amendment, hoisted from the archives:
    https://www.nytimes.com/1990/05/24/us/senate-backs-curb-on-assault-rifles-by-a-vote-of-50-49.html

    In a vote that surprised both opponents and supporters of gun control, the Senate today approved a measure that would ban for three years the manufacture and sale of nine types of semiautomatic assault weapons.

    The legislation applies to nine types of semiautomatic rifles and pistols, with 14 models of these types. Such weapons are distinct from fully automatic weapons in that they require the trigger to be squeezed for each shot. Fully automatic weapons, which are already banned under Federal law, fire rounds continuously with a pull of the trigger. But the semiautomatic weapons can be modified to spray bullets.

    :omg:

    as an aside, that was also the year we also heard about bans on plastic guns., lol. sound familiar.

    and, lest we forget: Republicans sold us out then too. NRA gave DeConcini the legislature of the month award two years earlier.

    But the measure drew support from 7 Republicans and 43 Democrats, including traditional opponents of gun control like Democratic Senators Lloyd Bentsen of Texas. Sam Nunn of Georgia and David L. Boren of Oklahoma.

    To the bolded above, why can't that be construed as the Bill Ruger option? Did he prefer just limiting magazine sizes and not banning any particular firearms?

    Trump's pick for new attorney general is 'best friends' with Robert Mueller who was a guest at his daughters' weddings - and their wives share a Bible study
    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6574343/Attorney-General-pick-Barr-expresses-confidence-Mueller.html
    • Trump nominated Bill Barr, who was attorney general under President George H.W. Bush, to take the job again after firing Jeff Sessions
    • Barr has a confirmation hearing coming up next week and made the rounds to sit with key Republican senators on Wednesday
    • Sen. Lindsey Graham, a key Trump confidant, told reporters Barr has no plan to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller and doesn't think he's running a 'witch hunt'
    • Barr and Mueller are 'best friends,' he said, noting that the two men have known each other for 20 years
    • Their wives attend the same Bible study together, and Mueller has attended the weddings of two of Barr's daughters

    Witnessing so many judges being partisan, bias and blinders to the rule of law, its not surprising to see AG's might have a leash on, esp when the corruption is so entrenched all around. The market on controlling powerful people is nothing new. What if mueller isnt a black hat, what if he's been collecting evidence on the cabal. I dont trust either on their own but I do "Trust the Plan"
