Assault Weapons Ban : not any more - its way worse.
NRA ^

Posted on 05/12/2003 4:56:44 PM PDT by OOPisforLiberals

All you anti-AWB people : listen closely. The "extended" assault weapons ban would ban TONS of guns, including ALL semi-automatic shotguns, ALL shotguns that hold < 5 rounds, M1 Garand, Mini-14, ALL semi-autos that can have > 10 rounds with or without fixed magazine.

Gives the attorney general the ability to declare a gun "not sporting" and subsequently ban it.

That's right folks, its the big one. They want 'em all. -Still- feel playing complacent about them not taking away your guns? If this goes through, handguns are toast in <= 5 years. 30 caliber rifles next. Then, there's not much left.

Its bad.

Please let Bush grow some cajones on this one.

-----------------------

You should live so long. Outside of a required response to 9/11, he is one of the most gutless characters ever to hold the presidency. This is the same lamebrain who called Ted Kennedy "An outstanding American senator."

This is the "out" the Bush Administration needs. All he has to say is this bill isn't the one he promised to sign. Keep those cards and letters coming.

10-4. You are exactly on the mark. Let's hope George W's people are lurking here.

So is this what Bush supports, or what the libs think he should support. Seems to me that Bush came out in support of something he had never seen.

Looks like quite a piece of crap.

True, but I suspect he won't even need an "out." This bill ain't making it off the floor of the House.

Thanks for the "Outlaws" tip on the other thread, btw.

I doubt as it stands the AWB will pass.

He did say he'd sign a simple renewal, but I don't recall him ever saying he'd support any expansion.

I don't know if he said that or not, but he has stated that he will "sign whatever Congress sends him" in regards to numerous bills. I just don't know if one of those "numerous bills" had anything to do with the AWB.

Like it matters though, since he hasn't vetoed anything yet, and he's had some pretty bad bills reach his desk.

Hmmm, didn't we fight a revolution just over 200 years ago partially because the Brits tried to disarm the colonists? Does the Boston Massacre still ring anyone's bells or have we been dumbed down so far we have completely forgotten our own beginnings?

And I'd believe this. But as a poster above pointed out - the -split- second the Dems get ahold of the Capitol, it'll all be over. Everything is in place for the kill. All the setup work and brainwashing preparation has been done. The general public won't make a peep, and we'll be England before you can blink.

If anyone has a convincing argument to the contrary (that is, how in 20, 30, or 40 years, my 1911, Colt Python and 2 bolt action rifles will still be legal for me to own) I would sure love to hear it.

If you cannot convince one neighbor of the value of liberty, then perhaps you are too lazy to have liberty.

Not surprisingly, many of the motivated resistors in my novel are from the WW2 to VN era.

No need to worry. The NRA will step in and negotiate it down to a permanent AW and .50 BMG ban with a national bullet ballistics database thrown in. Feel better now?

I totally agree with you, and it is still very possible that Dubya fails to get re-elected and the RINO's lose the Congress.

I certainly plan that two years from now we may be living in a very different America.

Your theory makes way too much sense to not be on target.
