BANG

[The Bandit]

Someone explain to me how this will affect criminals and not law abiding people? Seems to me the only affect such bills will have is on the decent people while gangs won't give up firepower.

[Knute]

In the unlikely and unthinkable event that the Dims regain control on the Hill or somehow lie, cheat or steal the presidency, I think I am going to seriously shop for an Independence Day gift for myself. Something in .40 or 9mm... I fear the day when our 2nd amendment rights are taken from us and freedom becomes a memory.

Better still, someone force Feinstein to explain why SHE thinks she's entitled to carry a concealed firearm while she goes out of her way to deny law-abiding American citizens their Second Amendment rights.

re: explain to me how this will affect criminals

There is a low (IIRC 3% national or state) percentage of "assault weapons" that are used in crimes.

[Jimmy Valentine]

Does this mean that Feinstein would give up her pistol permits and weapons?

Oh yes, I thought not.

Don't just preach to the choir.  Communicate with your elected crooks to help torpedo her nonsense if you have not already.

If you worry about that I suggest something in 7.62 Nato.

"I fear the day when our 2nd amendment rights are taken from us and freedom becomes a memory."

It is just the prospect of such a day arriving that the 2nd Amendment was enacted in the first place. The 2nd Amendment is freedom's teeth, as George Washington said. When that day arrives, true patriots will show the tyrants just what the 2nd Amendment is all about.

Well, her life is so much more valuable than ours, don'cha know.

It's important to make those phone calls.

[Major_Risktaker]

This guy needed 2nd amendment rights.
I hear that this man was arrested and killed by the state.

Fienswine will attache this amendment to every piece of legislation that she can during the next several months. The anti-gunners simply do not want accept a defeat because they know that their precious "assault weapon ban" is a worthless, useless piece of legislation designed to get people used to banning guns based solely on cosmetics.

It is so easy to do

Amen to that...bump this to the top and keep it going!!! CT Freepers...send these letters to our oh-so-wonderful /sarcasm Senators in DC. It's bad enough in CT as is, we don't need to give these guys another Federal ban with which to choke off our own rights here in our home state.

[TC Rider]

Is the article referring to the AWB? some new version of the AWB? or some new piece of crap outlawing all semi-automatic pistols, rifles and shotguns?

Pratt could try to be more clear in his announcements.

[norton]

Oh boy;
is it ever depressing to be offered a quick means to 'alert your Senators..." about some piece of legislation when the legislation belongs to "your" senator.

Somehow, I don't think that "Dianne, please don't do it" would work.
