No kidding to your statement. And as the above statement proves all the Democrats have to do to be back up to their collective necks in crap is to be asked about what regulations they believe in.
There is no unreasonable gun control law in the minds of a liberal. They also believe they are so smart that they can propose anything -from a thousand dollars a bullet tax to having the weapon completely disassembled and buried - and everyone will agree to it.
(1) take a safety course (not a bad idea)
(2) spend an hour on the range with instructor (also a good idea)
(3) get fingerprinted (not the best, but tolerable. I did it in Ga)
(4) submit to a ballistics test so expended bullets can be traced back to your barrel (a bit instrusive, but again tolerable ... just buy a replacement barrel ;-p )
(5) stay registered.
A lot of, in your words, "good ideas." None of which are required in Pennsylvania for possession (and only #5 for concealed carry). Is the crime rate any higher here in PA? Is there "blood in the streets?"
How can this be,I thought the stimuls,healthcare,finreg,oil spill, fill in the next one was going to save them in Nov
Gun rights will ALWAYS be an issue against the Dems...this coming election— all elections until the world is gone.
That's not the only way one can run afoul of the law ...
Possession of ammunition for an unregistered firearm is prohibited in the District of Columbia, and you may be subject to criminal charges. If registering a semi-automatic firearm, bring the empty accompanying magazine. Please note that it is illegal to possess a magazine that holds more than ten rounds of ammunition in the District of Columbia.
I don't know if this is up to date. DC seems to have "buried" the penalty parts of its statutes.
Bull..crap! The narrow 5-4 decision dramatically demonstrates the necessity that after January, there must be a Senate that wouldn't believe Obama if he said people need oxygen to live, and would never confirm anyone he nominated, no matter what. That way the Democrats no longer have an incentive to assassinate one of OUR justices.
recently DEMOCRAT appointed affirmative action dope, Sotomayor, was one of the four dissenters.”
In her appearances before the Senate committee that confirmed her nomination, she clearly said that she believed in the 2nd amendment & the right of the individual to bear arms.
SHE LIED.
KAGAN IS LYING as I type this.
The Supremes have defined the 2nd Amendment as an individual civil right. This means that the NRA, GOA, and the rest now have the ability to file federal lawsuits for civil rights violations the same way the ACLU does, and get reimbursed for their legal expenses.
I'm not sure if the Dem establishment has fully realized all the implications of RTKBA being a Constitutionally-protected civil right.
Actually, out here in California, the greatest threat to gun rights comes from the GOP. there's always a few moderate Republicans who succumb to their bipartisan urges and pass new gun laws. Aaaahnold has signed more than a few during his time in the Governor's mansion. His anointed successor, Meg Whitman, is also hostile toward gun rights.
Democrats may write gun laws, but RINOs pass them and sign them.
I an sick and tired of having a Government of, by, and for dopey fat chicks.
Funny how the “wise Latina” stated in confirmation hearings that she thought the 2A was an individual right, but voted against that view when the case came to court. Never trust a ‘Rat!
Not true, it simply puts the fights against undue restrictions closer to home. The Court ruled that States can still place restrictions, however, those restrictions can't be onerous. So there will still be fights within the State, and in local areas, but individual citizens will be closer to the action, as they should be.
Found a link to the "Official Code of DC," did a search on "ammunition" and one of the 27 hits was this ...
Title 7. Human Health Care and Safety.
Subtitle J. Public Safety.
Chapter 25. Firearms Control.
Unit A. Firearms Control Regulations.
Subchapter VII. Miscellaneous Provisions.
DC ST 7-2507.06 - Penalties [Formerly cited as DC ST 1981 6-2376](1) A person who knowingly or intentionally sells, transfers, or distributes a firearm, destructive device, or Search Term Begin ammunition Search Term End to a person under 18 years of age shall be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned for not more than 10 years, or both.
(2)(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, any person who is convicted a second time for possessing an unregistered firearm shall be fined not more than $5,000 or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both.
(B) A person who in the person's dwelling place, place of business, or on other land possessed by the person, possesses a pistol, or firearm that could otherwise be registered, shall be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both.
(3) A person convicted of knowingly possessing restricted pistol bullets in violation of 7-2506.01(3) may be sentenced to imprisonment for a term not to exceed 10 years and shall be sentenced to imprisonment for a mandatory-minimum term of not less than 1 year and shall not be released from prison or granted probation or suspension of sentence prior to serving the mandatory-minimum sentence, and, in addition, may be fined an amount not to exceed $10,000.
So, what is a "restricted pistol bullet?" I wondered.
DC ST 7-2501.01 (13A) "Restricted pistol bullet" means any bullet designed for use in a pistol which, when fired from a pistol with a barrel of 5 inches or less in length, is capable of penetrating commercially available body armor with a penetration resistance equal to or greater than that of 18 layers of kevlar.
At least that's true. The GOP was asleep as the rats ran pro Second Amendment and prolife candidates, as needed for various House and Senate seats, starting in 2006. They've avoided both arguments as much as possible from the national debate since then.
Remember how winning Roe vs. Wade made radical feminists go away?
Ummm, no.
I think he’s got a point. Gun control isn’t the only issue, but it is a significant one. We still need to replace enough dems to gain control of the house and senate this year, and there are lots of voters who attend their strongest interest to a single issue. Some percentage of voters will pay less attention to the elections with this issue seemingly resolved. I agree with everyone who said that it isn’t resolved, but some people will see it as over. It won’t be a large percentage, but we need everyone we can get.
Bingo, but Politico is like reading Newsweak, Time or the NYTs. GIGO.
Although I do love this: “at the centrist think tank Third Way.”
Only the most radical Leftist would consider the Third Way centrist.
Has anyone read Toffler?
Baby steps. IL is Obama country. That we have this right is like the Berlin Wall coming down.
