...the legislation would give veterans 90 days in which to register their firearms with the Treasury Department.

Uh-huh. That is register and pay the government imposed $250.00 "tax" for having a naughty weapon.

I wish this bill would go even further and have every veteran bring home their weapon and 1000 rounds of ammunition, as Swiss citizens do.

I didn't know this was that big of a problem.

How many second chances do they want? If they won't give everyone a chance to register their "illegal" MG, then no one should.

I'm either on an equal rights kick, or sleep deprived. Sorry

"We know that veterans sometimes decorate their halls with a firearm captured from World War Two. The machine gun should be declared inoperable to conform with the laws of the United States. But to declare these veterans as criminals for having these firearms, we think is wrong," Jones added.

I'm all for a "declaration" of inoperability, but not for the actual dismembering of a firearm to render it useless... Times arise where items could be necessary... And a veteran that served under combat is not someone that some piss-ant tax agent is fit to address about a stamp or a license for a firearm...without getting some bootleather and spittle pressed into his face.

USA Government to USA Vets: "We have no use for your sorry asses anymore. We have younger people to send abroad and fight our battles. We trusted you with weapons when it served our need but now you cannot be trusted and you must surrender these weapons or be sent to jail"

USA Vets to USA Government: ........ Well they probably would not say what I would say.

More crap from the stupid party.

1) Once they register, they get to be on the ATF list of people to harrass. They better tell their teenage grand daughters to dress in something they don't mind being seen in when the ATF drags them out of bed at 3 a.m. while they are kicking grand dad in the ribs.
2) What is to stop the next democrat from turning this on its head and using the registration against them?
3) What is magic about 1968?

Well, cool, but it would only seem to apply to folks who have had "illegal" full-auto firearms stashed away for more than three and a half decades. I don't see this group as being entirely eager to 'fess up, especially since this "right" has already been revoked once by their loving government.

Chris "Cannon" - I won't say it...

I was a demolition Sgt! Does this mean I can keep a case of C4 at the house???

Bill Would Allow Vets to Keep Their Battlefield Guns

but George wouldn't (Actually I'm surprised that Bill would)
