How about a ban on Senators who assault inalienable rights, such as the right to self defense? We could call it the "Assaultive Senator Ban."

"Former liberal and gun control proponent Howard Nemerov did his own research, and is now an ardent Second Amendment supporter who wonders why media and politicians don't tell the truth about guns. He appears regularly on ChronWatch. He can be reached at hnemerov@netvista.net."

The answer, of course, is because then they might not be able to implement the full socialist agenda in the US. People like Feinswine are enemies of liberty.

This term "assault weapon" used in regard to an evil looking lightweight automatic firearm first appeared in Nazi Germany before WWII.

Does not surprise me to hear Democrats use that term.

SUNSET THE AW BAN

I remember hearing about a police officer who came upon an illegal assault weapon in New York State recently. Of course, I expected his mere possession of the weapon to cause him to spray crowds of people huddling in buildings with bullets, because of the flash suppressor, the pistol grip, and the bayonet lug.

Somehow he managed to resist the magical affects of this horrible weapon and bring it to a patrol car.

That's a strong-willed police officer.

Semi-automatic assault weapons which fire up to 250 rounds of ammunition within seconds and without warning are weapons of war that do not belong on the streets of our communities.”

Maybe DiFi would be happy if we had those alarms on our semi-automatic weapons, like the ones trucks have when they back up.

Personally, my Glock, 'assault rifle' and semi-automatic shotgun have never just fired 250 rounds without warning, but who knows what they do when I'm not home. I'm getting real suspicous about the 3 foot ragged hole in the outside wall of the living room now. The Glock told me the cat did it.

“For the Khmer Rouge, there was no general gun confiscation, but anyone found with one was murdered on the spot.”

Don't give Dianne, Chucky, Teddy, and sKerry any ideas. I'm sure they would love to have the power to exercise that particular option. Why else would they be trying to disarm law-abiding, tax-paying free citizens?

[William Tell]

From the article: "Semi-automatic assault weapons which fire up to 250 rounds of ammunition within seconds and without warning..."

It seems to me that anyone not wounded in the first few seconds can consider the first 125 rounds to be warning shots. I know I would.

Gun grabbers are increasingly trying to separate the right to keep and bear arms from its constitutional underpinnings. To everyone but liberals and gun grabbers the word militia implies a body organized for military use. The Supreme Court Miller decision of 1939 held that the militia was 'A body of citizens enrolled for military discipline.' And further that ordinarily when called for service these men were expected to appear bearing arms supplied by themselves and of the kind in common use at the time."

To begin with, only the national government was represented at the trial. With nobody arguing to the contrary, the court followed standard court procedure and assumed that the law was constitutional until proven otherwise. If both sides were present, the outcome may have been much different.

However, since only one party showed up, the case will stand in the court records as is. As to the militia, Mr. Justice McReynolds related the beliefs of the Founding Fathers when commenting historically about the Second Amendment. He stated that, ". . .The common view was that adequate defense of country and laws could be secured through the militia- civilians primarily, soldiers on occasion.

"The significance attributed to the term Militia appears from the debates in the Convention, the history and legislation of Colonies and States, and the writings of approved commentators. These show plainly enough that the Militia comprised all males physically capable of acting in concert for the common defense.

It is clear that the firearms that are most suited for modern-day militia use are those semi automatic military pattern weapons that the yellow press calls "assault weapons". Since nations such as the Swiss trust their citizenry with true selective fire assault rifles, it seems to me that this country ought to be at least able to trust its law-abiding citizenry with the semi automatic version.

Self-defense is a vital corollary benefit of the constitutional right to keep and bear arms. But its primary constitutional reason for being is for service in the well-regulated militia which is necessary to the security of a free state. WE must be prepared to maintain that security against even our own forces that are responding to the orders of a tyrannical government, and the only viable way to counter a standing army's qualitative advantage is with a huge quantitative one. Don't let the gun grabbers and their politician allies separate us from the constitutional reason for the right to keep and bear arms. Miltary pattern weapons are precisly the weapons that should be MOST constitutionally protected. Even defenders of the right often neglect the constitutional aspect of it, and concentrate on their near non-existent use in crime.

DiFi el al swore to "protect and defend" the Constitution against all enemies foreign AND domestic. They have not upheld their oath. They are all, therefore, TRAITORS!!!

She combines the terms “semi-automatic” and “assault weapons” together. True assault weapons, meaning military-grade firearms, are fully automatic, and have effectively been outlawed for civilians since the National Firearms Act of 1934, though you can still purchase one if you find an older version for sale and can pass a licensing review by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. (Good luck, as the BATFE is decidedly anti-gun.)

Actually "assault weapons" are whatever Congress (and the Million Marching Morons) say they are. The official DoD term is "assault rifle", which is a select fire, (ie full auto or burst fire, plus selectable semi-auto) weapon firing an intermediate power cartridge. Examples would be the M-16, and the AK-47/74 series. It doe snot includ any pistols or long guns firing pistol cartridges (those would sub-machine guns if fully automatic), long guns firing full power cat ridges (i.e. M-14, G-3, FN/FAL, etc) or any kind of handgun. The term Assault Weapon, as defined by that PoS law, includes semi automatic (ONLY!) versions of all of these.

The "older version of NFA weapons only need be older than 1986, and getting past the BATFE's screening is no big deal, it's no different than that now required, under the Brady Abomination, to purse any firearm. What's difficult (other than coming up with an extra $200 ) is getting your local Chief law enforcement officer, or other local official, to sign off on the fact that you are an upstanding citizen. Many will not regardless of the facts, unless you can come up with some serious "campaign contributions". Others are more than happy to sign for you (most Texas Sheriffs for example). Of course in many states there are state laws against possession of full auto weaponry.
