That sounds very nice; I may get one soon. It could be a nice tool in a variety of situations.
Like Ronald Reagan?
I have a house in central Missouri that is for sale. In a small town 20 miles away from several universities.
Illinoisans get first dibs.
Could it be that he wants such a ban because Illinois is so exemplary in showing how banning guns works????
“One of the cities with the strongest gun laws in the nation, Chicago, had 532 murders in 2012 and it is now considered to be one of the most dangerous cities on the planet.”
Progressives are truly insane.
Your casus belli is well beyond established already. Anything more is just like Ariel Sharon yelling about one “red line” after another.
Jumping on the home-for-sale bandwagon for Illinois refugees:
House for sale in Eastern Iowa. 4BR, 4Ba 3000+SF
Totally renovated home, huge yard. Convenient to I-380, 20 minutes to UofIowa/ I-80. Upscale & mostly conservative neighborhood.
“Melt the phone lines”
Yeah, that’ll put the fear o’ God in them rascals.
Just keep paying your taxes, people. Support the status quo.
you can murder your unborn child, but you can’t use a gun to defend it’s life or yours, once it’s born.
how’s that libtard pretzel logic?
Im seeing this as a liberal revisionist constitutional gun ban. I.E. When the 2nd A was written, there were only muskets, so letting you have only muskets, meets the constitutional requirements of the 2nd A.
If the law is passed and then overturned, it would add to the argument that the 2nd A applies to weapons in current use, and not just weapons in existence at the time the Constitution was written.
bamster’s home state up in flames - i bet he’s happy, and so is rahm-it-in.
I guess they looked at Chicago and said, this is working great. Maybe we can get 500+ murders in every city if we ban and confiscate all guns from law abiding citizens.
Obama has a cabinet member who said his goal was to get US gasoline prices up to the same level as Europe's, so everything would be "fair".
Perhaps this administration's goals are the same with the murder rate. Not enough people in Chicago getting whacked to compete with London yet.
The 2nd Amendment was incorporated to the states in 2010 in the SCOTUS case McDonald vs. Chicago. There is no freaking way an across the board ban could be considered constitutional in light of Heller and McDonald.
TTAGs sources tell us there will be two bills: one for semi-automatic rifles, lever guns, shotguns and handguns with certain features (e.g., threaded barrels); and one for ammunition magazine capacity.
Mags would be limited to 10 rounds and owners of existing magazines holding more than 10 rounds would have to register them with the state police.
What is the point of “registering” magazines with 10+ capacity and banning semiautomatic pistols and rifles?

I don’t know if you have caught on or not, but the Democrats have openly said,”The Constitution can go to hell, we are going to do as we damn well please”.With that, came the dare to us to stop them.

They’re not interested in disarming them...only productive, law-abiding citizens...you have to realize in their eyes, WE are the enemy.
Oh I get ‘it’ Thanks. The WoD was lost before it ever started. as to gangs, you should see our neighborhood as is.

Was talking to the owner of my local gun shop yesterday.
He was at the Chantilly gun show over the weekend and AR-15’s couldn’t be had for less than $3K, and ammunition was going for three times the normal price. Said he saw someone pluck down 30K to buy these weapons and ammo.
