Comments? Yeah! “Go to h*ll!”
I just don’t understand how a constitutionally protected freedom can be licensed. Seriously. This would be similar to requiring training and a license before you could engage in free speech, wouldn’t it? So aren’t these restrictions blatantly unconstitutional? Not that that has ever stopped the libs before...
Want to see what happens when guns are taken away from the people?
Well, in Pakistan it means rule by Taliban thugs, and summary execution for adultery, as shown in this video.

No , you wont be disarming America, no matter what laws are passed by leftist dweebs. The only way you will get guns away from Americans is to pry them from their cold, dead fingers.
But as usual the LIBS take out their frustrations on the general public and put us all at risk.
Communist summbitches, IMO. This is a clear, blatant attack on the Second Amendment of the US Constitution.
If it’s a trial balloon for the 0bama administration, then it should be shot out of the sky, immediately.
It’s time to take back the country.
Note to self: Don’t move to MA.
Oh, yeah. Like that place was on my short list of places to move to, let alone visit before I die. *SMIRK*
However, WI is becoming ‘MA Lite.’ *SIGH*
Democrat majorities and RKBA are not compatible. They cannot coexist. Vote for one and lose the other.
Confiscation of firearms must take place if the “messiah” and his D’rats are going to succeed with their agenda. Without firearm confiscation, the Obama regime will fail.
Like Charlton Heston said - “Only from my cold and dead fingers”.......
I have been warning about this for a while now...
Obama will seek these 4 elements in a gun bill
1. An expanded HR 45, gun owner licensing. All gun owners will have to have these licenses, even owners of facilimie weapons (AKA Airsoft and BB). Licenses will only be granted if the records of the applicant are clean (This includes misdemeanors from decades ago). Licenses will have high renewal fees ($100-300/yr). Licensees will be required to hold $1 million in liability insurance. Possession of otherwise permitted weapons (See #3) without license is a felony.
2. Ammunition accountability... All ammo will be required to be microstamped and will be taxed $1/round. All non stamped ammo will be required to be turned in or thrown away. Possession of non-marked ammo is a felony. This part of the act also bans “Cop Killer” bullets. Furthermore, this will require the gun to leave a microstamp of its own on the ammo. (BTW, this will also affect law enforcement and military ammunition stocks, as they will be required to have stamps of their own)
3. Expanded “Assault Weapons” ban— This includes most all semiauto rifles, anything that can be “Bump Fired”, Semiauto handguns, and Semi-auto shotguns. It also includes pump-action shotguns and “Sniper Rifles” AKA your deer rifle. The AWB will also require people with “Prebans” to register their guns as Machine Guns, and that the tax stamp will go up to $10,000 per weapon. If you can’t afford this, you have to turn the weapon in without compensation...
4. Expansion of the Lautenberg amendment: Removes “Domestic Violence” as disqualifier to gun ownership, inserts any misdemeanor as disqualifer... Anyone with a misdemeanor on their record will be prohibited from owning a firearm. This includes DUI and traffic offenses, and offenses decades ago.
Finally, all CCW permits will be voided. Also, all gun and ammo imports will be banned.
Don’t they realize....
This will mean war.
Dispite what most Democrats say during the campaign you can always count on this: “If their mouth is moving, they are lying!”
I would be remiss if I did not give credit the few conservative Democrats who are not intoxicate by money and power bur still care about this country.
Comments?
Read the freakin’ Constitution!
Imagine these same rules applying to voting:
Requires:
o A complete list of every vote ever cast must be supplied to your licensing authority;
I am very seriously curious about just how many gun owning Americans will actually take a do or die stand and shoot any thug who attempts to take their guns away?
I am very deadly serious about this. I will willingly shoot to kill, and thus be willing to die fighting for my freedom, anybody who tries to take my guns. What percentage of the gun owners in this country are actually willing to kill and die when that day comes? Oh, and if this puts me on a list, then so be it!
H.2202, Automatic Weapons Bill or General Gun Ban?
Recently GOAL obtained a copy of H.2202 "An Act to Close the Automatic Weapon Loophole" bill. The legislation was filed by Representative Antonio Cabral of New Bedford. The bill appears to have no cosponsors. At first glance one would logically come to the conclusion that the bill has something to do with machineguns. Unfortunately, you would be wrong. It is actually a potential ban on everything other than automatic firearms.
The very first section of the bill changes the Commonwealth's definition of "Assault Weapon" by deleting the exemptions that exist for manual action guns. The proposed change also does away with an important exemption that GOAL had put into law in our 2004 reform bill (Chapter 150 of the Acts of 2004).
The exemption was Appendix A of 18 U.S.C. 922, part of the federal assault weapons ban laws that were set to expire in 2004. The Appendix contained a list of hundreds of guns that could legally never be considered as "assault weapons".
Some examples of the guns on the list are Ruger Red Label Shotgun, Perrazi Sporting Classic O/U Shotgun, Browning Citori O/U Shotgun, Remington 870 Youth Model, Ancshutz Match Rifle, Thompson/Center Contender Carbine. Knowing the federal ban was set to expire and the Massachusetts ban was not, GOAL successfully worked to permanently attach Appendix A to the Massachusetts exemptions. H.2202 proposes to do away with that exemption.
The next two sections of the bill inserts language into the license to carry law (Chapter 140, Section 131) essentially banning the purchase, renting, leasing, borrowing, possession and carrying of assault weapons.
Section four of the bill is more than a little confusing as it deals with club licenses. The language removes an exemption in the law that currently allows the removal of large capacity weapons or large capacity feeding devices from the premises (club) for the purpose of "hunting in accordance with the provisions of chapter 131."
The bill then moves to change the minimum sentencing for possession firearm (handgun), rifle or shotgun form 2 ½ years to "not less than three years." The minimum sentencing for drug and violent crimes in conjunction with gun crimes is increased from three years to a minimum of five years. It also intends to do away with the ability to serve concurrent sentences for certain crimes.
The bill clearly has nothing to do with machineguns (automatic weapons), but rather is intended to ban certain semi-automatic guns (assault weapons). Perhaps even more sinister is that by proposing to remove the crucial exemptions in the legal definition of "assault weapon" it is intentionally opening the door to label most any gun an assault weapon and thus potentially banning anything. If this is not the intention, then why remove the exemptions?
H.2202 is currently within the Joint Committee on Public Safety and Homeland Security. We urge our members to contact the Committee members and ask them to oppose this blatant attempt to open the door for banning the possession of guns by lawful citizens.
H.2287 the Anti RKBA Buffet
H.2287 "An Act Relative to Firearms in the Commonwealth" is a re-file from the last legislative session. As stated in my title, it is a virtual buffet of anti RKBA legislation. Rather than taking up a lot of space with detailed explanations, I'll simply give a bullet point list of the proposals in the bill:
A complete list of every handgun owned must be supplied to your licensing authority;
· $250,000 insurance policy on every handgun to cover any harm or damage that might arise from the use;
· Place a member of Stop Handgun Violence on the state's Gun Control Advisory Board;
· Owners of guns to make lost or stolen reports or face heavy fines;
· Changing the mandatory training requirements for handguns to be a minimum of 20 hours long to include four hours of "practical shooting";
· One handgun a month;
· Solenoid use-limitation devices, voice recognition devices, automated fingerprint systems for handguns;
· Increasing the penalties for multiple unlawful sales.
The first one started in Massachusetts back in the mid 18th century, so I suppose it would be as good a place as any to begin the second one in the early 21st.
There will be a revolution should confiscation ever be attempted. Count on it. There is a reason for the ammo shortage. Only half of America are Obamabots, the rest of us are old fashioned Americans who know what The Constitution says. Laws that are unConstitutional are null and void and illegal.
