For Miami chief Timoney, this is just part of his agenda. (see his history). I was disappointed to see Mayor Alvarez on this bandwagon too though.

His voice rising, he brings up Shawn LaBeet, the man who killed Somohano: ``This guy just went to a gun store with a fake ID and bought one.''It's the Moose Limbs St--id !

I posted a story in chat yesterday about an armless man who head butted another man to death. Why don’t these maroons go ahead and ban heads too?

I don't think that our founding fathers had AK-47s in mind, Actually it's exactly what they had in mind.
Klein said he thinks the tide is changing in public opinion, too.
Forgot all about 1994 have you?

''While I feel very strongly about the Second Amendment, I don't think that our founding fathers had AK-47s in mind,'' he said. ``There's absolutely no reason I can see having these weapons out on the street.''
Riiiight. He supports our right to hunt, which is enshrined in The Second Amendment. This guy doesn't give a sh!t about our rights. And the founding fathers had weapons EXACTLY like the AK47 and the AR15 in mind. They represent the modern-day musket, pure and simple.

Actually it's exactly what they had in mind. You're right. If that weapon had existed then, that's exactly what they would have meant.

They didn’t know what an AK-47 was, they had in mind “firearms just like the military uses”. In my mind that means I ought to able to have anything the military has. Period. No, I don’t want a nuke. Wouldn’t do me a lot of good... unless this were planet of the apes or something (/grin)

These guys probably shouldn’t ask me whether I’d rather live without the second amendment or without cops; they probably wouldn’t like the answer...

Police chiefs are almost always anti-gun. They’re politicians, not street cops. There was some harelip chief named McCarthy or something who was always used by the anti-gunners as a spokesman some years back. Now he has some other govt job, and I still see his rodent face on TV, but he’s wearing a suit instead of a uniform.
To: nin_kasi
Like this will instantly cause the criminals to give up and stop using these weapons?
They are outlaws! You can pass every law and regulation in the world and the outlaws will just laugh about them. Meanwhile the beat goes on. The assault weapons ban won't even slow the bad guys down.

LaBeet bought nine guns in the past year, including the semiautomatic Mak-90, which is similar to an AK-47. The gun was covered under the assault weapons ban and was illegal to sell for 10 years until September 2004. DC Sniper must not have happened. He was using an AR-15 in 2003, which was banned for sale by the AWB.

I stand corrected. John Kerry has one of the biggest heads I’ve ever seen; and the most perpetually vacant.

Local law enforcement say there is little they can do besides ramp up their own arsenals. The police have been doing this way before assault weapons were even an issue.
