Lautenberg's normal-size mag ban. Gee, it looks like each link of an M60 belt would be a high-capacity feeding device!

And somehow this will "help" to prevent crimes, like the Arizona attempted assasination.

[kbennkc]

These emboldened obambi rats have a short memory. Not even Nancy Piglosi would allow talk of new gun control for the last few years.

[DBrow]

Maybe it’s just for fundraising.

Mr. LAUTENBERG (for himself, Mrs. FEINSTEIN, Mr. MENENDEZ, Mrs. BOXER, Mr. KERRY, Mr. REED, Mr. LEVIN, Mr. FRANKEN, Mr. SCHUMER, and Mr. DURBIN)

Yep, the usual suspects. The good thing is, that even Harry Reid isn't dumb enough to let this ever come to vote, let alone any chance of it seeing the light of day in the house.

[mylife]

Does that ban include the cops?

FU lautenberg

[umgud]

Mr. LAUTENBERG (for himself, Mrs. FEINSTEIN, Mr. MENENDEZ, Mrs. BOXER, Mr. KERRY, Mr. REED, Mr. LEVIN, Mr. FRANKEN, Mr. SCHUMER, and Mr. DURBIN)

Tyrants, true enemies of state.

[ConservaTexan]

The good thing is, that even Harry Reid isn't dumb enough to let this ever come to vote...

Don't be so sure, the NRA (under pressure from members) did not endorse him last election.

[Cboldt]

-- Does that ban include the cops? --

Nope. On or off duty, LEO of all sorts are exempt. Some pigs are more equal than others.

[West Texas Chuck]

Yeah, I'll be first in line to turn my hi-cap mags in.

NOT! We had a flag here in Texas back in our Republic days:

Dipchits.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

You never can tell when you might NEED some hi-cap magazines!

I lifted this from a 1984 copy of PISTOLERO MAGAZINE. Remember them?

[mylife]

Hmmmm...

That there seems to override the intent of the 2nd amendment.

[mylife]

I dont worry about military.

They LOVE the constitution

[MtnClimber]

Can we give back the bullets first?

[Nebr FAL owner]

NEVER trust a rat to have your best interest at heart or any Republican either .

That being said when politicians don’t trust you to be as well armed as their praetorian guard you need to start worrying .

That is the lesson of the bloody mass grave that was the 20th century . Make your decisions from info you have gotten for yourself instead of stuff that has been deliberately spoon fed to the MSM.

[DBrow]

Now, now- the Left wants US to improve the tone! lol

[Lazamataz]

Oh, so firearms rights are one of the things in the Constitution Republicans don't deserve, right, Lautenberg?

Sen. Lautenberg: Republicans "Don't Deserve The Freedoms That Are In The Constitution" (VIDEO)

Lautenberg, you fascist bitch, you will GIVE me NOTHING. I will TAKE my Constitutional freedoms, even if it means crawling over a mound of bodies of people JUST LIKE YOU.

F***ing Nazi Fascist Bastard.

Croak, already, ya f***in' mummy.

[The Magical Mischief Tour]

This guy, Lautenberg is like a case of herpes... just won’t go away.

[DBrow]

He’ll eventually get voted out. Once we get picture ID for voting, he’ll be gone.

[Lazamataz]

When's that happening?

And pardon me if I celebrate and give out cakes and candies the day Lautenberg croaks. A real piece of shit, that one.

[VeniVidiVici]

Lautenberg’s another brain dead Democrat. Has been for years. Wonder who is pulling his strings?
