Time for these assclowns to get some early retirement.
Bushmaster XM15 assault rifle
Those 'snipers' had a Class III???? That's news to me.......

Given that Gephardt has missed over 90% of the votes in the house, will he even be there to vote on this one?

H.R. 2038 and S. 1431, its Senate companion, will not only renew the ban, but also stop the gun industry from manufacturing "post-ban" assault weapons such as the Bushmaster XM15.
If they pass this, it won't be long till they close that
pesky PRE-BAN loophole .
The writings on the wall and it doesn't say,
"Have a nice day!"

But in a willful attempt to violate the spirit of the law, the gun industry continues to manufacture "post-ban" assault weapons - guns identical to those banned except for minor cosmetic changes. The Bushmaster XM15 used in last fall's sniper attacks, for example, is a "post-ban" version of the AR15 assault rifle, which is banned under current law. Those so called assault rifles were banned purely on cosmetic reasons. They just looked so evil. They were banned based on what combination of cosmetic features (bayonet lug, flash suppressor, pistol grip, detachable magazine) because gun grabbers had no other rational way to identify the guns that they didn't like.
It is not only following the letter of the law but also the spirit of the law when Bushmaster elimintates the flash supressor and bayonet lug and has a legal firearm.
Let this stupid law die a natural death.

Communists and the UN don't like Americans with guns.
Come and get 'em.

And what exactly was the "spirit of the law"? Since it banned weapons based simply on cosmetic features, how does removing those features violate the "spirit of the law"?

Because the spirit of the law was to ban all of them, and some of them unfortunately slipped through a "gaping loophole" that gun grabbers suddenly realized existed, right after the law was enacted.

Yes those evil gunmakers cunningly foiled the gun-grabbers by complying with the law. Just shows how tricky they are.

What irritates me is the gross ignorance of the anti-gun crowd. The "snipers" used a .223, which is a powerful round, to be sure, but if these anti-gun types were to ever compare it to a common hunting round (I have in mind the .30-.30, .30-.06 and the .300 magnum), they would be astounded. They have no idea of the power of hunting rifles. "Assault weapons" by comparison are kind of puny.

The 2nd ammendment wasn't written for sportsmen.
Since 2003-10-13?

I don't know anyone who hunts with an Uzi. The 2nd Amendment has nothing whatsoever to do with hunting.

I know the second amendment was not written for sportsmen, but it wasn't written for gangsters and thugs either. Gangsters and thugs kill with knives, baseball bats, poison, cars, rope, axes, blowtorches, numchuks, boxcutters, pipes, icepicks as well as guns. Honest people do not. Should we ban all of these things?
