Yep, because the media frenzy caused normal thinking people into believing a military "style" looking weapon was more dangerous than a simple looking hunting rifle.

Don't worry, they'll get to those "sniper rifles" next.

"The legislation also protects roughly 670 hunting and recreational rifles for use by legal gun owners, and enables law enforcement agencies to use newly manufactured semi-automatic assault weapons, according to Feinstein's press office."


A well-entertained and well-fed populace being necessary to a fun state, the right of the people to keep and bear certain arms shall not be infringed.

Ms. Feinstein states that:
"...assault weapons are designed to kill as many people as possible in rapid-fire succession."
~ From Dianne Feinstein's webpage

Yet according to her newly-proposed "Assault weapon" law:
"Assault weapons may be legally produced for use by law enforcement agencies..."
~ From Brady Campaign.

Soooo...

...why in the world do POLICE need weapons that are "designed to kill as many people as possible in rapid-fire succession"?????

Does Ms. Feinstein want the Police to start herding people onto railroad cars too?





It's Not Just A Gun...

It's My "HOMELAND DEFENSE RIFLE"!!

I'm currently making an odds-book on when my 'scoped Remington "Jam-O-Matic" 30-06 semiauto deer-rifle shall be redefined as a military-style high-power sniper-rifle.
he scary thing is, many military snipers favor BOLT ACTION rifles, so the "sniper rifle ban" could conceivably result in illegalizing damn-near everything more potent than a .22 caliber rifle.
Folks need to think. HARD.
