Hitler’s Dictatorship in action. Call the NRA and get on the telephone.

Expose them to America now.

Should we spend a year listing unconstitutional crap that is law and nobody cares about?

It’ll pass anything the liberals want it to pass.

Are you speaking of the same Supreme Court that wouldn’t lift a hand to help stop the voter fraud registration in Ohio during 2008 election? hahahahaha

I got a call from the NRA on this one today so I googled it.

Dumbest parts:

No one under 18 may posses a fire arm which means I can’t send my 16 year old son off to shoot some squirrels.

A ban on “any semiautomatic firearm that can accept any detachable ammunition feeding device” which disqualifies my $250 .22 Ruger rifle I use for plinking.

For those who don’t own one, .22 semi automatics are the best to give kids for practice as they are cheap to buy, cheap to own, light to carry and don’t have to be reloaded after every little shot.

This is a challenge: Pass such a law. People from all over the country from all walks of life — who own no gun and don’t plan to — will rise up and demand the federal government go back in its little, restricted box.

(3) to the extent that firearms trafficking is intrastate in nature, it arises out of and is substantially connected with a commercial transaction, which, when viewed in the aggregate, substantially affects interstate commerce;

(4) because the intrastate and interstate trafficking of firearms are so commingled, full regulation of interstate commerce requires the incidental regulation of intrastate commerce;

Congress has used this dodge before, but it has always struck me as a violation of both the letter and the spirit of the Constitution.

Intrastate commerce is not interstate commerce, no matter how much one may be alleged to "affect" or be "commingled" with the other. It is hard to imagine that the Framers intended the commerce clause to justify any and all regulation of private enterprise by the national government.

Seen Bobby Rush on Fox, and he looks ancient, I mean ANCIENT!

Wizened, shriveled up, graybearded, nearly inarticulate, his days as Black Panther Bad Dude are decades gone (I’m near his age, BTW).

Agree, this is old news and whoever on his staff concocted the language in HR 45, knows it doesn’t stand a prayer.

Dems are evil but not stupid, and they either know or perceive that the people are arming to the teeth.

The national socialists want to enact a law as draconian as the 1928 "Law on Firearms and Ammunition." After which they will, like Hitler, use community organizers to gin up violence and pass a law like the Nazi Weapons Law (Waffengesetz) passed in 1938.

A ban on “any semiautomatic firearm that can accept any detachable ammunition feeding device” ...

Which would obviously include all the Evil Black Rifles and SKS-pattern rifles, but as well all the M-1 Garands out there.

In Lopez, the Court firmly struck down the ‘gun free school zone’ concept on several points, one of which was that the interstate commerce interest was so flimsy.

From the ultimate authority (not), wikipedia:

“The Court essentially concluded that in no way was the carrying of handguns a commercial activity or even related to any sort of economic enterprise, even under the most extravagant definitions.[14]

The opinion rejected the government's argument that because crime negatively impacted education Congress might have reasonably concluded that crime in schools substantially affects commerce.”

Most news eventually shows up here, http://www.ar15.com/forums/forum.html?b=1&f=5 or the NRA website.
