I can’t find the list of banned or “grandfathered” firearms but would be very surprised if Glock wasn’t on the banned list.

I cannot in good faith comply with any kind of new gun control. The Obama administration has shown total contempt of the process of law and the Constitution. In return, I am showing total contempt for this administration.

I will not surrender my firearms, magazines, or ammunition. Sorry, it’s not happening. If they want to force the issue, well, that’s on them. They just better be prepared for the major poop storm that will ensue should they try it.

so black in color would be one, right?

Don't forget that military pistols fire 9mm and .45cal rounds. A very military characteristic.

The bill probably is DOA, but obama will just sign an EO that will essentially do the same thing, or more. Yes I know that obama cannot just sign an EO as this is unconstitutional, but who is going to stop him? The rino’s? This is for all the marbles folks, they smell blood and they know this is their best chance to act on the 2nd Amendment. I hope I am wrong on this, but I have seen no evidence that any member of congress or the vast majority of sheeple will lift a single finger in opposition.

What the heck do these people think that registering a fire arm is going to accomplish. Both of the recent events were with weapons illegally owned and possessed.

What value will knowing the date and the gun store that sold it new produce?

it seems to me it was written like this to make sure it fails. There is no way in hell a bill like this would ever pass and she knows it.

I've had that exact thought, and agree with your entire post. Even though we know FineSwine is an arrogant liberal POS, she's not entirely stupid. She has to know that not even a majority of the liberal crazies in the Senate will sign on to this, since it includes not just "assault weapons" but also handguns. None of her Senate colleagues are going to sign onto that and risk their re-election in 2014, much less the Congress, where they're even more vulnerable.

On Free Republic, I feel that I am among friends. That being the case, I have a tendency to ‘shoot from the hip’ and go by memory, rather than doing the type of diligence that I might for an formal treatise. When an off-the-cuff remark is found to be wrong, I am delighted to receive correction, as long as such correction is not exploited to attack sound portions of my argument.

In other words, this forum is more of a brainstorming session than a venue to publish polished essays. Unless someone else is offended, I am fine with the notion that I have been corrected in two instances on this thread.

Please feel free to have my comment and any subsequent explanations ‘pulled’ if they bother you.

Ubama has already telegraphed his intention to demur on an AWB by putting it in the hands of Joe Biteme and his blue-ribbon committee.

He knows that gun control is the one issue that could unify all his enemies.

“What it IS, is the first salvo to drum up public interest.”

It certainly has drummed up a HUGE public interest and desire to purchase firearms and magazines.

No recession in gun shops these days.

Protects legitimate hunters and the rights of existing gun owners by:
Grandfathering weapons legally possessed on the date of enactment

Tricky writing;

On the day of enactment,those guns will be illegal

From Finestine's web site:"A report by the Police Executive Research Forum finds that 37 percent of police departments reported seeing a noticeable increase in criminals’ use of assault weapons since the Assault Weapons Ban expired."

I wonder how many of these "assault weapons" were sold to the Mexican Mafia by the ATF?

If this outrageous so-called law passes, the Texas secession movement should spread like a wildfire on the prairie.

Yes, I believe that he will use Biden’s “recommendations” as the basis for an EO. Will this unite his opposition? Absolutely. But I do not believe this will stop him from trying. This is exactly how obama’s handlers keep pushing their Alinski agenda...by luring the populace into a state of underestimation. Our tendency to underestimate the liberal agenda and determination is exactly what has led us to this point. In addition, our tendency to overestimate the resolve of those opposed to the progressive’s actions has led to complancey. Again, this is just a theory and I pray that I am wrong.

The coming NWO has to disarm us....yet, so many refuse to see things as they really are.

People refuse to believe that government and the media are direct agents of the dark side.

“Requires that grandfathered weapons be registered under the National Firearms Act, to include:
Background check of owner and any transferee;
Type and serial number of the firearm;
Positive identification, including photograph and fingerprint;
Certification from local law enforcement of identity and that possession would not violate State or local law; and
Dedicated funding for ATF to implement registration”

Go s*** in your hats Dems.

DING! DING! DING!

We have a winner!

This is SOP for the libtards. Shoot for the moon, but do so knowing that it will never pass muster. The REAL goal is to get something through. This will be some sort of “compromise” that the RINO’s will go for after being hammered for not caving on the “fiscal cliff” crapola. After failing to do anything, the MSM will hammer the RINO’s and the “public” will go nuts after that first paycheck has taxes galore plucked out. The RINO’s will be forced to cave on that and then DiFi and her ilk will start in on this bill. They will wail and moan that “something” will have to be done and the result will be some kind of compromise bill that will be hailed as wonderful, but won’t do a damn thing to stop crime.

I would expect something along the lines of a watered down AWB bill that will also include something about ammo. Right now in NC you can’t buy more than than 2 boxes of ammo at one time, and prices are going through the roof, so I expect maybe a one box limit and some kind of “tax” being pushed to force ammo prices up.

About the only thing that will save us is the mood of the country. Right now even the liberals who put the Vacationer-In-Chief back in office realize that they are on their own W/R/T protecting their families. Gun sales are going nuts right now and any sort of “ban” will surely force even more to start buying. Right now the country isn’t buying the whole “ban” mantra from the libtard politicians, so as long as they fail to sway people, things should be OK.

Still, with the SCOTUS we have now, I don’t trust ANYTHING going before them. Roberts has already sold us out on Obamacare, so I don’t put a lot of faith in those idiots protecting our rights should something come before them.

What it IS, is the first salvo to drum up public interest.

Yes but there is another reason as well. They need stuff like this to distract the masses from the failed economy and high unemployment rate. Sure they want it to pass. And to your point they are aware it may take a while to get it done. And even it doesn't pass now they can take advantage of this "crisis" to make it appear they are actually doing something and distract from their record.
