Vice President Joe Biden “guaranteed” that President Barack Obama will pass sweeping gun control legislation by the end of January, according to Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino.
“He said, ‘Tommy, I guarantee you, we’ll get it done by the end of January,’” Menino reportedly said at City Hall on Thursday. “They’re going to get it done.”
Menino, a leading gun control advocate, has been recovering from a myriad of health issues over the last two months, but said Biden has called him a number of times while he was in the hospital. One of the calls came after the Newtown, Conn. school shooting and concerned gun control, the Boston Herald reports.
“I understand the Second Amendment, the right to bear arms. But I don’t understand how young kids should be able to get guns,” Menino said, adding that Obama has “no excuse not to pass strong legislation.”

“Let the libs OWN this. My wife’s family are all democrat gun owners, and they are VERY serious about the second amendment. To the point that they would gasp, vote for a republican over this very issue.”
Yep a lot of Dems own guns. Harry Reid is not going to bring this POS bill to floor for a vote. IMO. Although I would love for him to do it and have it voted down.
Illinois Senate was supposed to vote on gun grabbing and homosexual marriage but they adjourned without doing anything. Hope they stay adjourned indefinitely.
>They can’t kill all of us - uh, well maybe they can, but it may take awhile.
They will run short of brownshirts to take us all out. If they try to do it through civil unrest then the body count will be very high.
I think they have already started by proxy of social engineering. The shooting stage may or may not come later.
I guess I know what my husband and I will be doing tomorrow. ;o) We already have our MA Fire arms licenses, we’ve just never gotten around to getting guns.
Does anyone really believe that the anti-gunners will be happy with a 10 round limit on magazines?
It has always been about handguns. Assault rifles was just a decoy to try and get their anti-gun foot in the door.
Once they get a ban on AWs then they will use the same reasons to go after handguns.
John Kennedy killed with a 5 shot bolt action rifle.
Bobby Kennedy with a .22 Iver Johnson Cadet revolver.
George Wallace wounded with a 5 shot Charter Arms .38spl.
Gerald Ford attacked with a 7 shot 1911 semi auto.
Edmond OK post office with two National Guard 7 shot 1911 pistols.
Ronald Reagan and Jim Brady with an RG-14 .22 revolver.
What do they all have in common? NONE over 7 rounds, yet after each one came a cry of panic to ban them.
Most of the dead in mass shootings comes from the first 10 rounds in a magazine. When the last 10 rounds are fired people are not standing around trying to find out where the noise is coming from.
****No car, he would have used an ax.***
NO-O-o-o, not an AX! Just because a man hacked to death twelve school children in 1812 at Ft Dearborn!
Boner and McConnell think we sent them there to get along with him, though.
Excellent point. Especially the second part :)
Zero may pass his gun control law, but I pass better than Zero every morning and I will treat and respect what he passes and what I pass with exactly the same respect.
Whoosh

Sorry
Whoosh... wait ... Whoosh

You're only hearing that from responsible gun owners.
If Obama steals legal guns from citizens, he’ll be setting the stage for the next Al Capone. But worse. An Al Copone for our time will be more violent with cash generated by a billion dollar organized crime gun industry.
Liberals have taken a country that’s broke, hates Traditional Americans and they’ve make it worse. What’s the next surprise going to be?
In Lib-speak “kids” now includes 26 year olds...
Good luck finding what you really want at the store, things are getting pretty picked over. Might have to shop a bit, or in your case have it shipped in from out of MA via a gun dealer.
I ordered a new reloading press, powder/bullet scale and 3 sets of reloading dies (& extras) yesterday. The que at a very reputable shooters supply was 20 minutes and there were 45 people ahead of me in the que. The staff was amazing, it took 1 minute to take my order (chose not to place it on-line so the inventory could be allocated and not sold).
I am still looking for a source of brass for an old model 71 Win. .348 (for the big game, like hogs)

But such action requires much wisdom to enact. Not sure we have that today.
