[phill4paul]

Semi-Automatic weapons = WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION!

 

[angelatc]

"Weapons of mass destruction are destroying our neighborhoods...."

Intellect does not equate to power, sadly.

 

[Pericles]

George III tried it.
Santa Anna tried it.
Now, you want to try it?

 

[tangent4ronpaul]

Every day 50 children are shot (w/ assault weapons? - if so TOTAL BS!)
8 die
5 are murdered....

soooo 3 of the 8 off themselves with an AK or AR? WTF???

[jbauer]

So pretty much if you've ever walked down the ammo isle at walmart you are now a terroist.

 

[Pericles]

Anyone see all the pictures of all the evil guns?? You'd think I could walk down to walmart and pick up freight containers of ak47s

If you were the Sinaloa cartel, you could.

 

[jkr]

we are all terr-or-us now

 

[Cowlesy]

Schumer saying that the original assault ban did much to curb crime. No studies have shown this. Schumer saying they don't want to take away your hunting rifles. Stating Heller decision allows limitations on Bill of Rights.

ETA: The police are OUTGUNNED! lololol

I can only speak for my family, but before the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban, no one in our house had a black rifle/"modern sporting rifle"/assault rifle. Because, well, we lived in about the most common rural/town neighborhood where you leave the doors unlocked at night, and don't even think about it. In fact if you talk to an Outdoor Goods/Hunting store, many of them maybe had one or two black rifles, probably in the corner, that no one wanted. Then all of a sudden, Bill Clinton and friends decided to tell us what we could and could not have.

**That was the impetus for so many of these going into circulation, in my opinion.** Once the ban hit the sunset provision in 2004, it was game-on to buy them up.

If anyone should be "blamed" for the proliferation of these black rifles, it's really the Democrats. Now, people buy them not because they live in a neighborhood where you definitely need a 30rd mag-supporting rifle to survive, but simply because you don't TELL US WHAT WE CAN AND CANNOT HAVE TO DEFEND OURSELVES.

The part of the whole debate that kills me, is that it is pure politics. Their legislation solves nothing. Cho Seung Yui, Adam Lanza, Holmes, --- they'd all still what they're going to do, regardless of weather the legislation is in place. And frankly, mass shootings are so rare, that if the goal is to prevent deaths in this country by acts of malice, they aren't even going after the biggest sources.

Just stupidity; an absence of not just reason, but of American tradition.

President of Police Chiefs association, Charles Ramsey: Oh noes!.. the firepower on the streets our officers have to face everyday.

Showing a display of defense weapons used in cherry picked crimes.

If you were the Sinaloa cartel, you could.

Do they have DEA shipping?

 

[jbauer]

How many times has "this is just the start" been said. This crap is going to get real.

 

[tangent4ronpaul]

If you shoot something with something like that (.223 cal) there will be nothing left to eat!

LOL!

OH ICK - that ugly thing again! VOMIT!!!!

This aspect should definitely not be discounted.

More victims. More emotional appeal.

Feinstein: Guns designed for military use. How many semi-auto rifles did the military buy last year?

In fairness the Homeland security etal bought millions of rounds to cut off supply to the people.
