Death to tyrants.
Who are you, George Wallace?
There are plenty of black FReepers here and black conservatives who didn't vote for Obama. The least you could do is just say black or African-American.

To hell with the Supreme Court. They've watched as countless unconstitutional measures were signed into law and didn't do a damn thing.
How does this sound instead: (My state) thinks this measure is unconstitutional so (my state) will not comply. The feds may try to force compliance, if they wish, but they do so at their own peril.
Sadly, "my state" is Massachusetts, where the courage shown at Lexington is only remembered by the national park rangers.
You might want to study up on the rifles a little, Most SKS's and Garand's have fixed magazines... not detachable.
Although I wouldn't expect a gun grab to end there, the SKS and Garand are two of the most dependable surplus rifles out there... they would be way up on a "ban list" just because there are so many in circulation.
I’m not familiar with the SKS-type rifles; I was under the impression they had detachable magazines.
I’m pretty sure the enbloc 8-round clip for the Garand would be interpreted as a “detachable ammunition feeding device”.

This is locked in committee and will never get out; it has a snowball’s chance in h*ll of ever passing.
The SKS can be modified to take detachable mags. As manufactured, it has a fixed magazine.
They can shove that bill where the sun does not shine. They better be ready for a fight if they come for my guns. FUBO and all the rest of those in congress backing this bill.
When all governments and other thugs put down all their weapons, then I will put down mine. And not before.
The vast majority have a ten-round fixed magazine, loaded through the top via stripper clips. There's a guide slot for the clips at the front of the bolt carrier. The SKS-D and SKS-M models were modified to accept detachable AK-47 mags.
I’m pretty sure the enbloc 8-round clip for the Garand would be interpreted as a “detachable ammunition feeding device”.
Unlikely. The "feeding device" (spring-loaded follower) is integral with the rifle. Of course, that's not to say that BATFE won't come up with some new and astonishingly stupid rule.
A few SKS's have been "modified" to accept some AK magazines,it can be done but not easily, and with the Garand "clip"... maybe, but it is not really an "integral" part of the weapon, more like a "speed loader", but hey that hasn't stopped the gun grabbers before!
LOL, active 2A minds think alike!

He was a FELON in position of a firearm.
That should show you the "caliber" of people serving in the House of Representatives.
