Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) hit the Senate floor on Thursday to explain to clueless Democrats what a pistol brace is and why it’s ridiculous for the Biden Administration to ban them.
Kennedy, in his now-legendary sardonic tone, spoke in support of a resolution repealing an ATF rule reclassifying pistols as short-barreled rifles if they have stabilizing braces.
‘This is a pistol brace, I know it’s scary … it fits on your forearm,” Kennedy said, painstakingly walking the chamber through the simple function of the item.
Watch the clip above.
Senate Democrats blocked Kennedy’s resolution; he released the following statement:
WASHINGTON – Senate Democrats today blocked Sen. John Kennedy’s (R-La.) joint resolution of disapproval under the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to prevent the Biden administration’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) from enforcing an anti-Second Amendment pistol brace rule.
Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) and more than 40 Republican senators co-sponsored the resolution in the Senate, and the resolution previously passed with more than 180 co-sponsors in the House. Senate Democrats blocked the resolution by a vote of 50-49.
“Today, Senate Democrats protected the Biden administration’s misguided rule, which turns law-abiding gunowners in Louisiana and across the nation into criminals in the blink of an eye. Big Brother is demanding that responsible gunowners with pistol braces register their firearms, destroy the firearms, surrender their firearms to the ATF or effectively destroy their braces. President Biden’s assault on the Second Amendment isn’t going to stop,” said Kennedy.
