Assault Weapons Ban
« on: February 19, 2007, 02:09:42 PM »
I hope I'm wrong in my opinion that Bush is no friend to the 2nd Ammendment and he veto's this when it comes across his desk.  Doubtful, 'cause he already said he'd sign the renewal of the AWB, but a guy can hope, no?

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h110-1022

any of you interested in buying an M1 Garand or an M14?  Better do it soon, if this passes they'll be specifically prohibited.  So is:
Quote
`(L) A semiautomatic rifle or shotgun originally designed for military or law enforcement use, or a firearm based on the design of such a firearm, that is not particularly suitable for sporting purposes, as determined by the Attorney General. In making the determination, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that a firearm procured for use by the United States military or any Federal law enforcement agency is not particularly suitable for sporting purposes, and a firearm shall not be determined to be particularly suitable for sporting purposes solely because the firearm is suitable for use in a sporting event.'.


so, any semi-auto rifle or shotgun (WTF?!?) purchased (procured for use) by the fedgov will be illegal, if this passes.  :noid

all I know is Ron Paul will vote against this, that's for sure.  :)

This is the same guy that's letting two Border Patrol agents twist in the wind, right?

Glad I'm already covered.


And for pistols, the correct term is CLIP.  A MAGAZINE is the correct term for rifles.

Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) is the sole sponsor of this bill and has a long history of suffering from a one track mind.

So, relax for a bit. It isn't time to build a cabin in the woods and start typing out your manifestos.

Democrats are scared the PEOPLE will learn the REAL reason why are forefathers made the 2nd Amendment the SECOND AMENDMENT.  Our forefathers knew that all forms of governments would become corrupt over a period of time and that the PEOPLE would have to wash away the corrupt with their blood.  If you really think the 2nd Amendment is about hunting your an idiot.

When the government fears the people there's democracy, when the people fear the government there's tyranny.

Has he actually said this, or just an assumption?  He did let the old AWB expire didn't he?

during his campaign he made a promise to sign the AWB if it was placed on his desk.  I don't have an exact quote, shouldn't be too hard to find...
