Banning assault weapons except for the military is like banning Pixies or legislating homosexual marriege...

...there just ain’t no such animals.

The Assault Weapons Ban: How Silly Was It? (Revisiting the incompetent law Obama wants reinstated)

"INCOMPETENT", "0bama" - these two naturally go together.

Why the focus on bayonets? It seems so utterly insane to me. I’d rather someone come at me with a bayonetted plugged rifle a million times than a handgun once.

The comprehensive approach now being considered; which will include mental health and hopefully gun free zones will cause problems for legislation.

Obama will be running afoul of civil rights not connected with guns.

However, when legilation fails (i hope), Obama will simply issue an executive order and be done with it.

a proposal to reinstate a ban on so-called “assault weapons.”

An "assault" weapon will be redefined as the most popular weapon which is currently legal until all weapons are gone.

Just like the 1994 ban, “possession” means possession of an assault weapon obtained by one of the prohibited means “transfer”/ “sale” after the date of the ban.

Existing “assault weapons” in private hands would be grandfathered in. Even Feinstein and Obama are not stupid enough to try and confiscate 25 million assault weapons in private hands. Biden might be stupid enough to try.

Worked so well in Canada(long gun registry) /sarc

Whenever someone says they want to limit magazines or clips to 10 rounds, I ask “so, 10 dead children is OK, it’s just 20 that bothers you?”

Of the several posts I respond to on this subject all contain these two assertions which should be considered in any discussion on this subject..

1st the weapon used by this kid could not be used in regular hunting it’s a 22.3 caliber. 2nd this “target rifle” met the very restrictive rifle ownership requirement of Connecticut and hardly could be considered an “assult” rifle.

Instead we’re getting too many responses which lapse into vacuity. Judgements on the mother, who been mis-reported about several times. Assumptions on how the kid obtained these guns, judgements about the perp and his “reasoning” for his actions. All of which we don’t know and cannot trust MSM to report the facts surrounding this sad issue. Until that is done.

Any assertion about this maddness including They were killed to save them from the Mayan end of civilization which will occur on December 21st 2012 is worthy of consideration...
