However, we should still spare no effort in coming down on it like a ton of bricks, and maybe help give the demo-socialist responsible the boot while we're at it.

TO: USF & NRA Members & Friends FROM: Marion P. Hammer Unified Sportsmen of Florida Executive Director NRA Past President
SUBJECT: SB-500
It has started !! The threat by the Brady Campaign/Million Mom Marchers to reenact the Clinton Gun Ban state by state has started with Florida. The first Gun Ban bill has been filed for the 2005 Florida Legislative Session which begins in March 2005. The bill has not been referred to committees yet. We will notify members when it has been referenced and will provide email addresses to legislators you need to contact to help fight this bill.
SB 500 - Assault Weapons/Detachable Magazine Ban by Gwen Margolis (D-Miami Beach); Would ban the manufacture, importation, possession, purchase, sale, or transfer of any semi-automatic firearm defined as "assault weapons" and any detachable magazine capable of holding more than 10 rounds. It would require forfeiture and confiscation of any such firearm or magazine. Further, it would require the state to destroy any such firearm within 60 days after confiscation or forfeiture. It provides immunity from prosecution if firearm is voluntarily surrendered. Otherwise, it makes a violation of the provisions of this bill a felony of the second degree (15 years in prison and $10,000 fine).
Would Jeb sign this?
I doubt it.
---look for one of the first ten bills filed in the upcoming Congress to be Brady 2005+Assault Weapons Ban+?????-----
Assault is an ACTION, not a device.
And, of course, depending on the amount of resistance, instant death.
I don't know whose, but somebody's going to die unneccesarily if this stupid anti-American, anti-constitutional garbage continues.
Won't get off the ground.
Keep track of it ping request to your Florida ping list. Thanks!
Welcome to Kalifornia
Best call this new Brady crap the 'Homeland Un-Defender' Bill.
Any Florida politician that supports this is toast.
Nog good strategy on their part, we Floridians LOVE our guns.
m D.O.A.
Well, it happened here, California.
We still have a AW and magazine ban even after the sunset of the Federal Ban.

Good luck with anti-gun legislation there.
I thought it was an old British woman...a salt..I'll stop now.
I don't have any assault weapons nor do I have any magazines that exceed the 10 bullet max, at least not yet, they have not come down in price enough..
Yeah, and it's done wonders at holding down gang violence with said weapons, right? :-)
Gee, you'd think that they would atleast wait until the National Guard got back from Iraq to defend the capital before starting this crap again.
Has the violence spiked since the AWB was killed? I didn't think so. Next...
However, we should still spare no effort in coming down on it like a ton of bricks, and maybe help give the demo-socialist responsible the boot while we're at it.
The GOP Golden Boy Mitt Romney already signed one of these in Massachusetts.
Gwen Margolis is still around? I remember when she ran for Clay Shaw's seat back in '92.
No way. And it'll never reach his desk anyway - the GOP dominates the Florida Legislature. All that's going to come of this is a bunch of wailing and screeching from the media when it dies in some committee.
Why am I feeling like a third grader, being chastised by the teacher?
I said ..."Won't get off the ground." ... and I don't believe it will.
Just because some degenerate Dimocrat from Floridas left coast, who suffers from post election rejection, is about to propose, yet another, gun grab bill, does not make it passable.
Many of us, here in Florida, are members of the NRA, shooting clubs, and hunting organizations. We were aware and are aware of what these enemies of the republic are doing. We will be kept aware of these actions. We have contacted, or will contact those representatives, in the ever ongoing effort to ensure that our rights are not trampled upon.
You don't think this is anything new ... do you?
"I'm convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. Our ultimate goal -- total control of handguns in the United States -- is going to take time. My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition -- except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors -- totally illegal."

No I don't but it's never a done deal, and as long as there are liberal idiots out there it has to be talked up all the time.
The average person has no idea what an assault weapon is or what the ban was about in the first place, all they know is what they read in the local "toilet paper".
We sometimes forget that we are a minority and that most people don't know a thing about guns.
Sorry if it sounded like chastising..
JSO [Jax Sheriff Office] just got some shiny new AR-15's, I'm sure they'll be willing to only carry 10 rounds in them to conform to the law.....
That's for sure, and most don't even read that, getting all their "news" from the old media.
The term assault weapon, in it's self, is a made up, bogus, boogey man name. For what is any gun, knife, stick, or stone for, but to "assault" someone, or something?
Chastising? LOL ... as long as I have been speaking through this keyboard, I have been chastised. I seem to have an inherent lazyness when typing, omitting necessary words that would make my point clear to all.
Were we speaking face to face there would not be this misunderstanding.
Hey ... to be chastised is not to be ignored. ;)
Thanks
They can have mine, but they're gonna lose a lot of good guys trying to get it.
