Saturday

. . . our new Democratic controlled General Assembly and Democratic governor passed and signed a bill outlawing the sale of assualt-type weapons, large capacity magazines, ghost guns, parts, and the like. Goes into effect on July 1.

Gun stores can't keep AR-15s and all the banned stuff in stock -- "flying off the shelves."

I'm bettiing on a rash of domestic murders starting in a few months.
