Assault Weapons Ban II

[SilverCity]

In case anyone hasn't read the text of HR-1022 AWB II. This is the one McCarthy of New York came up with last year. I don't know what Mr. Obama & Co. will try to force upon us, but this might give you some idea.

Reading that, things don't look good...

However, Thanks for the link... I went and created and account and setup a ""Tracker"" to let me know about anything new reguarding firearms bills...

Note the part in red below and here.

Hopefully its dead in the water, but the bad thing is there are many others that have been introduced by the scum suckers that call themselves our representatives.

Bill Text:Summary | Full TextStatus:IntroducedFeb 13, 2007Reported by Committee-Voted on in House-Voted on in Senate-Signed by President-This bill is in the first step in the legislative process. Introduced bills go first to committees that deliberate, investigate, and revise them before they go to general debate. The majority of bills never make it out of committee. Keep in mind that sometimes the text of one bill is incorporated into another bill, and in those cases the original bill, as it would appear here, would seem to be abandoned.

I did not see the M1a (Springfield) or the M14 on that list. Why would that be? I may plop down 3k on an LRB M-14 in January.

I would rather have a grandfathered in "illegal" weapon that would be worth 10x what I paid for it. Course i would only accept AU or AG on that trade.

Anything banned for the citizens, should also be banned to them, the military and anyone else.

Good riddance, he was Republican in name only. His people just stopped voting for him and the rest wanted the real thing.

All this means is that that new stimulus check we might or might not be getting should go to buying guns and ammo.

And it defines a high capacity magazine as one which can hold more than 10 rounds. 10 rounds is high capacity?!? Geez...

Since it's below grade... no... unless it's that long tunnel down the middle.

No concerns about floods?

Underground homes are amazing. You're a fortunate fellow. :-)

`(37) Conversion Kit- The term `conversion kit' means any part or combination of parts designed and intended for use in converting a firearm into a semiautomatic assault weapon, and any combination of parts from which a semiautomatic assault weapon can be assembled if the parts are in the possession or under the control of a person.

So, the way I read this, parts kits will go away too.

[silver_addiction]

buy em now and you will have nothing to worry about. buy about 1000 rounds too, and you will be set for life.

get a mossberg 500 tactical, a remington 700 tactical in .308 and a couple glocks and you will be in good shape.

while you're at it get 10 30 round clips for the ar-15, and 20 clips for the glocks, a bunch of shells for the mossberg and 1000 rounds for the remington 700.

If they found out that toothpicks worked they would outlaw them as well.

Nothing will please them until they are assured the public has been totally castrated.

Define R.I.N.O.: A Republican In Name Only.
Examples of the type of Republican covered under this definition are:

• Rep. Mark Kirk [R-IL]
• Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen [R-FL]
• Rep. Michael Ferguson [R-NJ]
• Rep. Christopher Shays [R-CT]
• Rep. Michael Castle [R-DE]

These five supposed Republican are nothing more than jackasses in elephant's clothing. Rep. Mark Kirk has introduced a bill, H.R. 6257: Assault Weapons Ban Reauthorization Act of 2008, which would "reinstate the Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act." The bill has been co-sponsored by the other four jackasses listed above. All of them claim to be Republicans.
All of them need to leave the party.
Seriously.
Go.
We don't need your kind anymore. It is this kind of stuff that lost the Republican majority in Congress. No, not this particular issue, but the failure to adhere to Republican values in general. If you want to behave like a gun-grabbing Democrat, go sit on their side. It is better that the Republicans be in the minority, but true to conservative values than to be in the majority with no clear values at all.
The problem with gun violence isn't that law abiding citizens have access to assault weapons (whatever that means.) It's that criminals use them to commit crimes. Read that last sentence. Commit crimes is the key part of that sentence. Having these guns be illegal will not limit the criminal's access to them. It will only make them better armed than their victims.

I saw an interview with one of the directors of the NRA, and he said that it would be OK if they outlawed all semi-automatic rifles and limited magazine capacity to 3 rounds because, "No hunter should need more than 3 round to kill an animal."
