I thought astronauts were intelligent.

Why would anyone purchase an assault rifle to turn in to local LEOs?

To prove a point?

Oblio got no point. No brains either.:O:

Judge overturned the big gulp thing

and i still dont understand why the left is pushing so hard to ban specific rifles... perplexing

i guess it is easier to drone strike / push the newly labeled enemies of the state into incinerators & camps when they are unarmed. :woot:

What's hard to understand? I think most of the ardent anti-gun people have never been around them, don't understand them, don't really care to understand them, and live in fear of them so any banned gun is a good gun.

Well good for him. Stimulating the economy with a gun purchase plus related items for the weapon. Looking at what Ted Nugget is doing it is not a wonder the DHS is buying millions of bullets. Ted will be burning up millions of rounds just by himself. Certain to be a shortage with folks like Ted.

Well, according to Representative Schakowsky, the rifle ban is only the beginning.

According to this source (http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/03/11/Schakowsky-Assault-Weapons-Ban-is-Just-the-Beginning),

“We want everything on the table,” Schakowsky told Mattera. “This is a moment of opportunity. There’s no question about it.”

One poignant exchange was as follows:

Schakowsky: We’re on a roll now, and I think we’ve got to take the--you know, we’re gonna push as hard as we can and as far as we can.

Mattera: So the assault weapons ban is just the beginning?

Schakowsky: Oh absolutely. I mean, I’m against handguns. We have, in Illinois, the Council Against Handgun... something [Violence]. Yeah, I’m a member of that. So, absolutely.

In another exchange, Schakowsky proposed allowances for states and municipalities to ban guns--though such laws have been repeatedly rejected by the Supreme Court:

Mattera: We’ll never get a handgun ban with the Second Amendment as stated.

Schakowsky: I don’t know. I don’t know that we can’t. And there may be an allowance, once again, for communities--I have communities in my district that prohibited handguns within their borders. The rights of municipalities and states to view that as a sensible way to keep people safe--I don’t think it’s precluded.

When Mattera asked why legislators were not pressing for a handgun ban, given that most murders are committed with handguns, Schakowsky replied: “Because we’re not going to be able to win that. Not now.” She went on to explain why background checks were a useful interim policy, arguing that they would “address any kind of weapon.”


These people simply are not going to give up, nor stop, until the only people who have firearms are the police. (Insert police state reference here)

Well yes as that is her view.

The man was in the Navy and damn well knows the difference between the two weapons. Or at least he should know, but then again he was an airdale. And Arizona's gun laws are some of the most lax in the country, so what point did he prove? That he has the money to buy one at his whim? He was a Captain in the Navy and an astronaut, he would've passed a background check with flying colors. It's not like they're screening you for a top secret clearance. Whatever though.:roll:

[yubba]

Seems he was violated the rules,, http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/03/26/rejected-gun-store-cancels-ar-15-purchase-by-gabby-giffords-husband/

I guess he shot it to put it out of its misery.... oh... right.

Well, according to Representative Schakowsky, the rifle ban is only the beginning.

These people simply are not going to give up, nor stop, until the only people who have firearms are the police. (Insert police state reference here)You're right. And even if their intentions are pure (I'm skeptical, but I bet at least some of them are), should anyone come to power after these people get their way, a police state will be easy - the dirty work's been done, the denizens have resigned their freedom, and the Constitution will no longer be worth the paper it's written on.
