You know, I've made my opinion on gun control abundantly clear in the last 125284786537 and 1/2 threads about gun control, but it certainly seems rathe strange that they would ban shotguns in an assault weapons ban.
Also, in my opinion, the Government and NRA should be working together to find a solution to gun crime that everyone agrees on. |

I got to admit it makes me feel better. Just a tiny bit. |
Passing a Gun Shop lately is like passing a Halmark store when beanie babies were the big thing. :D Wonder when we'll get the V-8 ban? That should really stimulate the economy! :yeah:
So where do I get a 3D printer? lol |

Still an Iver Johnston commemorative though, and it still would be under the ban-hammer with Feinswine's bill. |

I understand what you're saying Steve, apologies beforehand on sounding defensive, or if i've misinterpreted your intent to post that. :yep: The Topic may be saturated onto the forums (which is understandable with every new event, be it world event or US-based), but if 'new(er)' material or information comes to hand i think it is not unreasonable to assume and perhaps even expect a new thread about said subject, with not-previously released information included of course.

you will get an insight into the motifs and reasons how the NRA 'operates', for lack of better word. The NRA is a hypocritical Lobby at the best of times and to 'cut off the hands that feed it', meaning the gun manufactures, and working with the Government on a common ground? Fat chance. |

Thank god my Savage only has a capacity of 5 and no pistol grips. I wonder if they'll ban tactical scopes too.... I can read a book across my house and then switch settings to count leaves on a tree 200 yards away. It's nice...no mildots though. It's a Sweet .223. One of those that calculates for bullet drop. :cool: |
Reguarding Fienstien, (aka "The googly eyed Harpy")
I, and many others have noticed how she seems to think that PTSD is "relatively new advent" as a "result of the Iraq war". In one sentence, she eloquently exemplified her ignorance and the old saying, "Better to be thought of a fool then to open ones mouth and remove all doubt". Quote:
In my opinion, this is not just about guns. It's about the constant and steady erosion of our civil liberties. We're already at the point where: - legislature exists that is (poorly) worded in such a way where it is conceivable for the government to haul US citizens away and detain them indefinitely without due process.. (Patriot act and NDAA) - We have politicians who seem to think that the contents of the Bill of Rights is subject to their interpretation. Now their chipping at the Second Amendment. If successful there, what's next? Eventually the second amendment will disappear entirely. At which point there is not a doubt in my mind that the 4th Amendment would be subject to "interpretation" next. The only thing I wonder is how long would it take to get to that point. After the 4th, what would be next? Who knows, but if our politicians were to be left unchecked, it's not a question of if our government turns completely tyrannical, but when. I doubt this turn to complete tyranny ( nor any justification to move from the ballot box to the cartridge box) will happen in our lifetimes; however it will be our descendants and future generations who will bear the burden and the price if we don't stop the erosion of our civil liberties in the here and now. Taking the long view, this isn't about guns, its much larger then that. |
They'll spend all this time posturing, but this bill won't pass in the end, except in some water downed fashion, but that's probably the goal.

Now, by military definition, a rifle has to meet three criteria in order to be classified as an assault rifle. Those are: 1.) Fires an intermediate cartridge. 2.) Uses a removable box magazine. 3.) Is selective fire. (Not found on a civilian AR-15) What is selective fire you may ask? Here's a BIG hint: http://i1303.photobucket.com/albums/...psb868ac27.jpg Currently, Assault rifles (and any other weapon capable of automatic fire) are covered by the National Firearms Act. They are incredibly expensive (because they don't exactly grow on trees), and you have to have a Class 3 Federal Firearms License in order to posses them. Most people will never see an assault rifle, let alone own one. |
On aother hand i personally do not think that naming an rifle magazine a clip or other way around makes person irevelant in discusing gun rights.
There is a lot of bullocks from so called gun experts/enthusiast as well.. who think that having a knowledge of all body parts and some shooting at range gains them better judgement. On the second amendment issue you have a lot to talk about. Question is if this is honest discussion. I somehow doubt that someone who ownes several assault rifles can do it honestly although he might be so called an responsible owner. |
