/you can guess what the R is for.

Also, if i want an assualt rifle, I'll go find one - no big deal. Since when has the government been effectively capable of stopping somebody from doing something they really want to anyways.

I been warning you for a couple of months now.

Tragicaly the myth that keeps being portrayed in these whole things is that these do not have "Sporting purposes". Which indeed they do, but thats not the point. The Second Amendment does not protect Sporting. Thats not its purpose. The hope here by the proponents of this ban is that people will assume that the only real reason to have a gun is to Hunt. Which is in fact, not a right. It is a priveladge. The Second amendment is about owning a gun to protect yourself from others and against tyranny. Which these people wish to remove.

I was hoping they were going to try and declare the NY assault weapons ban and CCW laws unconstitutional.
Anyone want to take bets on how quickly this bill gets shot down?

Interesting link. Does a good job showing how gun laws widdle away the second amendment a little at a time.


My favorite.
1837
Georgia passes a law banning handguns. The law is ruled unconstitutional and thrown out.
1977
The District of Columbia enacts an anti-handgun law which also requires registration of all rifles and shotguns within the District of Columbia.

umm, anyone else notice theres a clause in HR1096 that would repeal the child lock safety act of 2005? not really up to date on gun laws, but that sounds a little bit re ed

It requires a safety lock to be included with every handgun purchased. It's a well meaning but useless law. Those locks are only a few dollars, if someone is going to use one they would just buy one. Giving them away isn't really going to encourage people in using them.

im a gun lover myself but i dont think anyone really needs a assault rifle, like were you americans actually allowed to hunt with them down there?
