"grenade launcher or rocket launcher"

Gosh, It's going to be illegal to own a grenade launcher or rocket launcher? Bummer.

No compromise.

The Bill of RIghts is NOT subject to legislative compromise.

Give them an inch and they will take a mile.

The very next time a madman goes amuck thye will say this was not enough and come back for another bite, and another bite and another bite.

What many liberals and some gun owners fail to recognize is that once you have set a legislative precedent for this kind of action, it will expand.

I want a law REQUIRING all teachers to qualify with a handgun and carry concealed at work. It should be an occupational requirement.

That’s MY compromise.

If threaded barrels are prohibited, how is a barrel to be mated to the receiver?

[navyblue]

Does this include flint-locks too?

[listenhillary]

Once Senators spend so much time in Washington, they think they’ve been appointed “GOD”.

Do her constituents want this or does she want this ban?

[Iron Munro]

Democrats can’t stand the thought that somewhere, somplace, a person is free and not under their control.

[Myrddin]

What part of "shall not be infringed" is unclear? Banning goes well beyond infringement. The bill forces registration which we know is the prelude to confiscation.

I don’t do recreational drugs so I wish the commie lib ‘RATS would explain to me what makes a rifle with a “pistol grip” more deadly than one without a “pistol grip”. The commie ‘RATS must have a thing against “pistol grips”.

It's working folks. Sanding firm and massive buying has spooked them. This is scaled WAY back from her original draft turning everything into an NFA weapon.

We should plan on the spineless republicans caving and this passing. We need to know the implementation date, Jan 1 2014 ? Anyone know ?

In the meantime...

STICK TO YOUR GUNS

It looks to me like a Ruger Mini-14 would not be on the list.

In 1994 Wayne LaPierre went on the Sunday morning news shows and compared the Mini-14 to an AR15 to show how arbitrary and ridiculous the ban was.

I can't believe DiFi made the same mistake again.

"All Thompson rifles"

Muzzle loaders are a real threat to left.

This bill will never make it out of committee. Good luck getting more than a handful of Dems to vote for it. I cannot imagine Dingy Harry ever bringing this to the floor of the Senate for a vote.

I would be upset if I still owned any guns. Fortunately I threw all my guns in the trash after Sandy Hook. I was afraid they would kill me.

Looks like the monster man grip is gonna be legal?

[G Larry]

Ahhh.....Man....

You’ve just gone and made a public confession....

...and now, they’re gonna getcha!

[drypowder]

so I can keep my tank?

If we let these bitches take our gun rights... They can take anything. We are going to be slaves to the elite. This has to stop and it needs to be now. A five million peaceful gun right patriot march in the capital, is needed right now. Strength in numbers taking a hard stand...Or we all will be on our knees. SHUT IT DOWN!
