NRA clout is outgunning Feinstein - Assault weapons ban renewal in doubt
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | 06/28/04 | Edward Epstein

Posted on 06/28/2004 8:51:29 AM PDT by nypokerface

Washington -- Sen. Dianne Feinstein knows the odds are increasingly daunting as she tries to win congressional renewal of her 10-year-old assault weapons ban before it expires Sept. 13, and she warns that if the law lapses "you can expect the market to become flooded'' with such guns as AK-47s and Uzis.

The California Democrat will be home in San Francisco on Tuesday to join her colleague Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., and San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom in marking the 11th anniversary week of the 101 California St. shootings that killed eight people and left six others wounded. The shootings helped persuade Congress to pass the assault weapons ban a decade ago. A frustrated Feinstein is looking toward November's elections to produce a president and a House leadership more supportive of gun control.

Will you adopt me, "Dad"? LOL.

I would love to fire an automatic weapon with real ammo. Last time I got to shoot full auto was while doing weather support for the Army at Ft Riley, KS. An M16 but loaded with blanks...cool, but just not the same.

BTTT

Sorry Diane ya cunning runt..... All the firearms ya listed are still here and on the market as very expensive "pre-ban" firearms that only drug runners and rich folks can afford yet you swear on the bible that alledged crimes using these types of firearms has dropped due to your removing them from the streets.

Never happened ya Big Itch . All shit'n shineola snake oil fearmongering by you miss piggy. As is everything you do as a polidiot pandering to the socialists or presstitutes for a chance of free face time. You remember face time don't ya Diane. The skill that got ya to your current position......

An extension of this POS AWB proves that Rats'n Rinos have infested our lives and their validity as represenatives for the people is moot.

Stay safe .....Doom on all socialists !

Now that's a daughter!

Here's FReeper NattieShea (10 at the time) squeezing off her first 9mm!

When she's older, d'ya think she'd get a higher fee for her babysitting services here in Santa Cruz if we advertised that she was armed?

No can do.

As far as I know possession of just a selector without the appropriate licensing is a felony.

Also, I believe that simply presenting an "issued for construction" drawing of a selector to a machine shop is against the law.

Anyone please correct me if I am incorrect.

Get a Class III permit pay $ 200.00 transfer tax, and you get a fully automatic gun, if you buy a 50 Caliber Machine gun, contact Mike Dillon, at Dillon and get a progressive reloader, with 50 caliber dies, as you will be spending all of your time in the basement reloading ammo.

Montana has a Auto Weapon get together each year, and the noise is outstanding. Those old 50 Calibers still demand a lot of attention.

It ain't about safety and she knows it........that is the sad and scary part. Someone presents a valid piece of legislation that makes this world safer I'll back em 100% but the current best single option for the sheeple is to have the means or option to defend themselves and their nation from sedition and terrorism. If they don't want to be responsible for their own well being then do not make that decision for others. Personally I don't "need" an evil chunk of black plastic to do such for my family and self but I demand that the option remain mine. Not Dianes or her band of polidiot swallowers.

For Swinestine to survive at her current position in life speaks volumes of the underlying "real" problems we have in this nation. Seditious welfare fed trash keeps her and her kind in public office. We need to turn off their ability to feed their slacker backers for free.

Sorry for the rant but socialist polidiots like her just piss me off.....

Stay safe !

Is Kalipronia a Class III state ? DC27 may be right for his-her state of confusion. I have to be careful as to which state I transit with my toys for just such a reason. Not all states allow Class III NFA legal goodies !

Stay safe Eeeeek !

"There are two types of people in the world", 'Blondie' says to Tuco in the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, after Tuco discoveres the pistol he tried to kill 'Blondie' with was unloaded.

"People who's pistols are loaded", 'Blondie' continues, brandishing his own loaded pistol and handing Tuco a shovel, "and people who dig. YOU, dig."

So simple, this power ancient thing. The "some animals are more equal than others" anti gunners simply want everyone they hold 'beneath' them and their related swine to do the digging they perceive necessary to level the egalitarian playing field, while they elevate themselves to watchmen.

That's why the thesaurus equates the word 'hog' with swine, and defines it thus: "To control, to dominate, to take over, to corner the market."

It was only one round. We've got 'em now, thanks. That session was a bit of a lark to see if the kids' hands could manage the weapon. The answer for NattieShea was "barely," and her sister's hands were too small. We put them on a weight training program to strengthen them a bit and decided to wait for some growth.

We'll start for real this summer on a .22 with a neighbor who's a decent gunsmith and former police firearms instructor.

My favorite line in my all time favorite movie!

Next favorite line; Tuco says,"If you're gonna shoot, shoot, don't talk."

I know! It's such a dumb movie, but it's so full of gems of wisdom.

My girlfriend just bought the special edition and we sat up watching it over the weekend. Those are the same two lines of dialog that hit me as well!

The "you dig" line just smacked me there toward the end, after hours of watching, and I realized that it completely explained the vitriolic rant of the anti-gunners perfectly. They just want the rest of us to to the digging while they dominate.

Perfect. Those two lines completely explain why the founders included the second ammendment.
