They're going to run on this in an election year?

[TigerClaws]

Bring in more Muslim killers.

Ban the guns we need to use to defend ourselves.

Great plan!

[justa-hairyape]

And we are supposed to believe Obama did not ask them to do this. Right.

[ozzymandus]

I am so sick of these people.

...Engel wrote the letter, in which he claimed “a mass shooting on average each day this year in this country.”
*******************************
When will someone demand that he specify the mass shootings that he has referred to? It would be all over the news if such had happened. ...The FBI, I think, counts a mass shooting as 3-4 victims at a time. ....Nothing like that has happened “on average” (?) every day this year.

Ban the import of cars.

[enduserindy]

I bet this has nothing to do with American jobs....

"92 Democrats Ask Obama to Ban Import of ‘Assault Weapons’"

I doubt that domestic and imported bad guys will have much trouble getting them on the black market. They might even be the same weapons comrade dictator obama gave to ISIS.

[48th SPS Crusader]

Ah but do the morons know what an “assault weapon” is?

[nikos1121]

But they’re not going to ban the export of them...right?

[broken_arrow1]

Fine - by definition, semi-autos are NOT assault weapons.

[Renegade]

Good thing two companies make AK’s in the good old USA

[Jed Eckert]

Sorry Democrats but "conservative" George H.W.Bush already did it in '89:

1989-Import Ban on Assault Weapons

So there! :)

[backwoods-engineer]

Fine. Ban the import, if you can. GWHB did. Result? Americans will make their own semi-automatic rifles. And TENS OF MILLIONS of AR-15s, AK's, and other self-loading magazine-fed rifles have been sold since, especially after the Federal "Assault Weapons" Ban expired.

When Democrats try to strike us down, we become that much stronger.

They’ve forgotten the lesson that Gore demonstrated. Bush wouldn’t have won if Gore had taken WV, a Democrat state. With his anti-gun rhetoric Gore had a snowball’s chance in hell of taking the state.

I knew when Charlton Heston visited he was wasting his time. The state was a lock for Bush. If you check, you’ll find too that Obama never visited the state to campaign.

Already been done by George Bush Sr. back in 1989.

Back in 1962, Thomas J Dodd and Emanuel Cellar called for the registration of all handguns, “Long guns would not be affected!” and ban on the import of 5 shot bolt action army surplus rifles, claiming they were used in crime.

It was found they were calling for a ban on army surplus rifles to protect Winchester, Remington and Savage bolt rifle makers from cheap foreign competition.

Most poor rural people could not afford a high dollar Winchester or Remington so they would go to the hardware store, pick up a $5-$10 dollar army rifle and buy three or four rounds for deer hunting.

They got their ban back in 1968, and crime did NOT go down, because the law was not designed to prevent crime, even though LBJ said it was.

“Today we begin to disarm the criminal and the careless and the insane. All of our people who are deeply concerned in this country about law and order should hail this day.”-Lying Lyndon Johnson

If it is banned, how is that NOT an infringement? If the options are narrowed by the import ban, is that NOT a restriction of choice?

Yeah, yeah, DEMs vs. brains/logic...
