ABC ^ | 10/16/12 | Devin Dwyer

Posted on 11/10/2012 4:26:49 PM PST by GlockThe Vote

President Obama tonight said he’s interested in seeing an assault weapons ban reintroduced, breaking his silence on the legislation, which has persisted in spite of at least five mass shootings during his term.

I don’t think so .
The Republicans are going to have to get their sea legs after this socialist onslaught , and will in turn, become the loyal opposition on many of these issues.
Remember, they are just as shell shocked as we are ,they will have to entrench and we will make sure they do.
THERE IS NO OTHER WAY FOR THEM .

This article that you posted is from the last debate and the AWB is D.O.A.

Now, the U.N. treaty will take the Senate to ratify it and there just aren’t enough Lib-Dims to ram it through .

Executive Orders are the big concern ,as we will get flooded with new bureaucratic regulations through the agencies and possible international commerce issues regarding imports and imported ammo .

Yep. Anything by Vince Flynn or Brad Thor is pretty good reading. The EFAD trilogy specifically deals with the RTKBA issue though.

I was at a gun show today; City police car with license plate scanners mounted at 45 degree angles on the rear of the car, so it could scan plates as it drove through the lot.

Don’t know if this is something new or not, but FYI - if you go to shows, park with your license facing INTO the spot.

Also: Sales of AR15, AKs, and other mil-style rifles were going briskly. Lots of ammo buys too, all cash and carry.

Lots of young guys with high-and-tights, tats, and looking like they’re fresh from the Sandbox and the Rockpile, talking the talk and walking the walk.

Even old bolt action veteran Mosins, Kar98s, etc., were selling well.

People are arming up. They are not happy; they are worried. I won’t even tell you the comments that were overheard, almost universal in opinion, I’m sure you can guess.

And for the record - those firearms aren’t going to be falling out of canoes any time soon.

20 of those 55 dem senators are up for re-election in 2014.

Those in competitive races might hesitate to vote for any ban (we hope they hesitate).

“..2/3 of the Senate...”

Re-read the Constitution: 2/3 of the Senators PRESENT to ratify.

They’ll try to do it during a recess over the holidays, or thereabouts, when the GOP and Dem holdouts (if any ) go home.

It’s called treason, basically, but hey...they don’t care.. “They Won”...

Exactly
A ban is D.O.A. in the House

The U.N. treaty is D.O.A. in the Senate for the reason you stated

Executive orders and their limitations (or lack thereof) are the concern however ...

Just tell the President you’ll protect him with your rifles, and he’ll leave you alone. It’s all about power with him.

This is a very dumb move on the President’s part. But you could never tell him that.

OK. Send the Kenyan Kommunist Klown an Assault Weapons Ban. Ban all select-fire carbines capable of full auto or burst fire. Extend that to ALL civilians and civilian forces, such as the police and federal law enforcement.

I'd extend the ban to the military too. Reissue the Springfield or the Krag.

“Assault Weapon”.....right....all because of a pistol-grip handle.....

At the gun show today (stocking up) noticed a table with two almost identical “AK-47’s”....everything was identical except one had the typical “AK” look and pistol grip....

The one next to it was identical in every aspect - same receiver, same barrel, same magazine......BUT, it was a “hunting rifle” - all simply because it had a standard rifle
stock.....

Idiots.

The liberal/Marxist game rule is to win, you first re-define things to your own liking.....

Pro-abortion becomes Pro-Choice
Homosexual becomes Gay

etc.

They are winning.
