WASHINGTON (AP) - Congress' latest crack at a new assault weapons ban would protect more than 2,200 specific firearms, including a semi-automatic rifle that is nearly identical to one of the guns used in the bloodiest shootout in FBI history.

One model of that firearm, the Ruger .223 caliber Mini-14, is on the proposed list to be banned, while a different model of the same gun is on a list of exempted firearms in legislation the Senate is considering. The gun that would be protected from the ban has fixed physical features and can't be folded to be more compact. Yet the two firearms are equally deadly.

Claiming this would protect guns is outrageous hypocrisy. In other words, nothing new from the liberal socialists/communists and their media lapdogs.

LOL! Not banned, until a couple of years. Like the SS told the more educated city Jews “don’t worry, we are only after the farmer jews out in the country”. Tell these losers to go “F” themselves.

About 15 minutes after any ban is passed into law some damned liberal will show up screaming that it doesn’t ban enough.

Can we impeach a little at a time? Sleazy politicians must have either been promised something or threatened by Obama who has dirt on them...

Politicians don’t care about our rights or the Constitution. They care about THEIR power and riches. They’d laugh at being called “public servants”.

This is such sinister propaganda directed at the mass low information audience. They will see 2200 as so reasonable. Who could want or need more than that, they’ll be programmed to think. It will not dawn on them that “300 churches that are not banned “ is a direct parallel. In other words, they have ceased being a free people and become a government controlled people.

Because Leftists NEVER implement anything incrementally.

It's not like if you give them an inch they'll take a mile.

So here’s the slimy Nazis at AP alerting the munchkin simpletons that certain firearms might slip through their ban.

It’s way past time to take these AP Nazis into a dark parking lot with no witnesses around and read to them the US Constitution.

I don’t know. A lot of people own guns. Gun manufacturers are refusing to sell to NY state (cops etc) and gun owners are attending meetings and being VERY angry. The commies may have acted too soon.
