...there just ain’t no such animals.
"INCOMPETENT", "0bama" - these two naturally go together.
Why the focus on bayonets? It seems so utterly insane to me. I’d rather someone come at me with a bayonetted plugged rifle a million times than a handgun once.
The comprehensive approach now being considered; which will include mental health and hopefully gun free zones will cause problems for legislation.
Obama will be running afoul of civil rights not connected with guns.
However, when legilation fails (i hope), Obama will simply issue an executive order and be done with it.
An "assault" weapon will be redefined as the most popular weapon which is currently legal until all weapons are gone.
Just like the 1994 ban, “possession” means possession of an assault weapon obtained by one of the prohibited means “transfer”/ “sale” after the date of the ban.
Existing “assault weapons” in private hands would be grandfathered in. Even Feinstein and Obama are not stupid enough to try and confiscate 25 million assault weapons in private hands. Biden might be stupid enough to try.
Worked so well in Canada(long gun registry) /sarc

They’re not plugged.
Whenever someone says they want to limit magazines or clips to 10 rounds, I ask “so, 10 dead children is OK, it’s just 20 that bothers you?”
for later
This just makes me supremely happy that I have been uber-diligent in keeping and logging every receipt for magazines weapons, etc. Even for gun shows. When they enact it, you’ll need them.
Of the several posts I respond to on this subject all contain these two assertions which should be considered in any discussion on this subject..
1st the weapon used by this kid could not be used in regular hunting it’s a 22.3 caliber. 2nd this “target rifle” met the very restrictive rifle ownership requirement of Connecticut and hardly could be considered an “assult” rifle.
Instead we’re getting too many responses which lapse into vacuity. Judgements on the mother, who been mis-reported about several times. Assumptions on how the kid obtained these guns, judgements about the perp and his “reasoning” for his actions. All of which we don’t know and cannot trust MSM to report the facts surrounding this sad issue. Until that is done.
Any assertion about this maddness including They were killed to save them from the Mayan end of civilization which will occur on December 21st 2012 is worthy of consideration...

Incompetent Obama still removing rights.
my mags were all lost in a barrel attempt over Niagra Falls.
ping assault weapon ban?
HAH, you’ve never seen anyone as dangerous as I am with a bayonet! I don’t even bother with bullets! I can slice’em and dice’em with phenomenal speed; I’m the Jackie Chan of Bayonet warfare; I use a special ginsu bayonet with cross-cut blade! I practiced my techniques at a Sushi restaurant; I had the place cleared out in less than 2 minutes!
I learned my bayonet techniques from a midget South Vietnamese war vet who’s unit ran out of bullets in 1966; he fought on for three years with nothing more than his bayonet. He almost took Hanoi twice! He re-upped for the Iraq invasion and single handidly neutralized an entire Iragi Republican Guard unit. Now he fights with the Syrian Rebels and has been credited with taking out an entire regiment of Syrian Tanks!
Beware the Bayonet! Its a weapon of mass destruction!
Obviously, but you’re not getting my point. I stipulated that the barrel be pouted to focus on the bayonet specifically. Why ban bayonets when handguns, for instance, are much worse? If there isn’t a reason to ban bayonetable rifle features without regard to the rifle’s assaultiness, or whatever it is that makes certain guns seem worth banning, then there’s no reason to ban bayonets at all.
All they do, really, is turn rifles into a kind of sword, and last time I checked swords are legal. What is it about adding a knife onto a rifle that interests the government? When was the last time a vicious bayonetting made national headlines? I submit that there is no reason whatsoever. Being able to weld some contraption onto a rifle to feed more rounds without having to reload or tampering with it to render it more fully automatic, those at least I understand.
Not satisfied to ban things most people agree aren’t covered by the 2nd amendment, Congress goes nutty with banning such add-ons—add-ons being easily enough argued into being extraneous to 2nd amendment concerns—until any old extra thing is somehow evil. The reductio ad absurdum of the add-on asterisk to the 2nd amendment is the ban on bayonetable features. It is simply crazy. Where is the anti-bayonet lobby? It doesn’t exist.
You mention hunting. Why? I never understand what that has to do with subject at all. So some guns ate more ir less useful tot hunting, so what? What does that have to do with what should be legal or illegal? Aside from the fact that hunters vote, I mean.
