Something else than what I was referring to?

You asked:

In terms of federal laws, where do you think the limits will lie for restrictions on particular weapons/classes of weapon?

There are already limitations on full automatic, certain classes of firearm including RPG's, etc. Where do you think these will land with the proposed changes?

There are no limits to what the government can and will impose if they can get away with it. If semi-autos are banned then handguns will become the new target for restrictions. If they are banned then hunting rifles will be next after that.

Like a friend of mine just posted recently:

The demonizing begins already.

One doesn't really "need" to hunt, right?

I'm not really fond of hunting, but it would be a good skill to have if I got lost in the wild.

Lets ban fishing then.
We can't have those anglers enjoying themselves can we.

Our county and the next one has mass hunting land, private and public, bout are rather poor counties. They're several drop freezers where many hunters take their kills and give them to the poor for food. I seldom hunt, but when I did, all but one deer I shot was given to the poor.

Meanwhile on 10 Jan 13, "The Former Presidents Protection Act of 2012) was signed in to law

Giving former presidents Secret Service protection for life.

If I had USSS protection for life, I might think that personal gun ownership is not necessary too.

From I understand in many states the game wardens have contacts with groups that will take game so when they confiscate illegally gathered game once they gather the evidence they give the good meat away of course only with fresh kills.

Myself when I have extra I will give it friends and neighbors.In my area there is no group that actively takes game though if you gave them some that was already to go and butchered they would take it.I hunt boars myself so I suppose that a Jew or Muslim is out of luck.

I was lived in the woods hunting, I like most wild game, but only a few parts of deer, mostly the loin. I bet I turned over 30 plus deer to food banks for the poor. I do love a good rabbit....

I caught Pierce Morgan on CNN again last night, still on his gun crusade, inviting pro gun people on his show, but never letting them get a complete sentence out before he goes nuts....
