I hope Boner does not push something treasonous through the House. Senator McStupid would join Leiberman to give him a piece of American freedom and some American blood for his retirement present.

The ME said that, but there is video of police taking it FROM THE TRUNK. See the interview with Blumenthal.

The mother had 3 weapons. So, if the little ones were killed with a .223, who was the 2nd shooter? Who was the guy in cuffs on the ground at the fire station?

Does this mean that those Dems who have armed guards protecting them will no longer be armed too? I know, I just made a funny

My thought exactly Let’s ban bodyguards and those armed assasins that protect the political class. We’ll see how longt before Leiberman and Hollywood Celebs are applying for their CCW permit

Hope some of humanity lives long enough for some judge to order the muzzie footbaths to get ripped out of Ann Arbor.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic lawmakers and independent Sen. Joe Lieberman said Sunday that military-style assault weapons should be banned and that a national commission should be established to examine mass shootings in the United States.

That would mean my 9mm Smith and Wesson would be banned. Military troops use it in combat that would indicate it is an assault weapon.
Automatic weapons, Machine guns, etc all ALL already banned for civilian ownership .
All this talk is just silly political nonsense that will NEVER do anything to protect a child

[Sarah Barracuda]

I am all for banning bodyguards for those Hollywood leftists who are for “Gun control” they spew their hate for guns but make money off of gun violence in their movies and TV shows. You can’t even get near a celebrity without being escorted away by their armed guard. Such hypocrites but what do you expect, they are leftists..hypocrisy is their middle name

[MissH]

What exactly does the .223 mean in terms of the Bushmaster? Is that they type of amo or the power of the gun - how many rounds are shot per second?

[cripplecreek]

Those are footbaths?

Oops.

I wondered where the toilet paper was.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Waiting for the media to call for a ban on BBQ Forks..those things can be deadly

An “assault” weapon is a semi automatic rifle, with a pistol grip, a collapse able stock, a magazine that can hold more than 30 rounds, a flash suppressor and bayonet lug.

Except you can buy pre ban mags, and you can pin a stock, and you don’t really need a bayonet lug.

Tell me how that changes any damned thing?

[pabianice]

Yeah. Assault weapon = any semi-automatic firearm

[ZULU]

Joe Liebermann is possibly the dumbest Congressman to come down the pike since “Dollar Bill” Bradley of New Jersey, and that says a lot.

NOW is the time to send those whores in Congress letters telling them NO MORE GUN LAWS - enforce the ones you have!!!

[EricT.]

It’s the diameter of the projectile, or caliber. This rifle shoots bullets that are 0.223 inch in diameter.

[Gene Eric]

Ban semi-automatic forceps!

[Chipper]

Are these asshats going to take all the semi-auto “military” rifles away from all non-military in this country, including local, state and federal LEOs?

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Anyone remember these attacks on school children?

Thank you -

223 is slang for a round that evolved from the brand name "223 Remington." Most of the bullets loaded in that round are usually .224 diameter. That round is almost the same (but not exactly) as the standard military rifle round "5.56mm X 45mm" sometimes referred to as "556 NATO." There is SAAMI warning against shooting 5.56 in a 223 but most modern firearms can handle both. The Ruger Mini-14 is stamped "CAL. .223 but the chamber is actually a 5.56.

What is an assault weapon? Seriously...that is a very vague term. What exactly is an assault weapon and what is not an assault weapon?
