Good grief. Not just the evil ‘black rifle’ but also semi-auto pistols and shotguns.

minimum term of an indeterminate sentence imposed on the underlying
class B violent felony offense where the person convicted of such crime

or the effectiveness of the remaining portions of this act or any part
thereof.

S 14. This act shall take effect immediately.

Their goal is to make us all criminals.....

“Did you really think we want those laws observed?” said Dr. Ferris. “We want them to be broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against... We’re after power and we mean it... There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system, Mr. Reardon, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.”
-Atlas Shrugged

Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God.
Jefferson and Franklin.

How about this...

1556 — John Ponet published A Short Treatise of Politike Power (commended by John Adams).

Chapter VI. Whether It Be Lawful To Depose An Evil Governor, And Kill A Tyrant.
...
Now for as much as there is no express positive law for punishment of a tyrant among Christian men, the question is, whether it is lawful to kill such a monster and cruel beast covered with the shape of a man. And first for the better and more plain prose of this matter, the manifold and continual examples that have been from time to time of the deposing of kings, and killing of tyrants, do most certainly confirm it to be most true, just and constant to God’s judgment. The history of kings in the Old Testament is full of it.

But now to prove the later part of this question affirmatively, that it is lawful to kill a tyrant: there is no man that can deny, but that the ethnics (although they had not the right and perfect knowledge of God) were endued with the knowledge of the law of nature.

For it is no private law to a few or certain people, but common to all: not written in books, but grafted in the hearts of men: not made by man, but ordained of God: which we have not learned, received or read, but have taken, sucked, and drown it out of nature: where unto we are not taught, but made: not instructed, but seasoned: and (as St. Paul says) man’s conscience bearing witness of it.

This law testifies to every man’s conscience

Anyone seen the MSM news report that was evidently presented last Fri or Sat stating that the Bushmaster was indeed left in the trunk and that the crime had been done only with pistols?

Naturally, one will not expect the MSM to make it very popular.

Oh well, CW-II will start - with this - or most probably when this is followed by the upcoming govt bankruptsy.

When it does happen, guard the airports and exits from capitols and Dc...we want to catch the perps and treat them in the manner that the law will require that they justly deserve.

From the TEXAS Declaration of Independence from Mexico..

http://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/texdec.asp

“It has demanded us to deliver up our arms, which are essential to our defence, the rightful property of freemen, and formidable only to tyrannical governments.”

THE RIGHTFUL PROPERTY OF FREEMEN! Even Texas understood it!

It is a bill that has been introduced. It has not been passed let a lone signed. And there is sill the courts and their opinions that have to weigh in. It is more than a little dramatic to be jumping up and down at this point. There are plenty of stupid and unconstitutional laws that are introduced that never get passed
