Up to 50-80% of all guns in circulation could be covered
Press reports now make it clear what Vice President Joe Biden’s gun control package will look like. Biden wants to impose:
* A Feinstein-like semi-auto ban which, according to experts who have done the counting, could ban up to 50% of all long guns currently in circulation and up to 80% of all handguns. Incidentally, if you wanted to keep the AR-15 you currently have, you would have to have a 6-month FBI background check, be fingerprinted, and get a machine gun-type license.
* The framework for national gun registration and confiscation by requiring every gun transaction to have a Brady Check.
* Supposed “toughening” of anti-gun trafficking measures, but without doing anything about the man responsible for allowing more gun trafficking than any other American -- Attorney General Eric Holder (with his Fast and Furious program).
Let us backtrack and explain a couple of things: Increasingly ATF is going into gun dealers and xeroxing all of the 4473’s. This is illegal under McClure-Volkmer, but, in case you hadn’t noticed, Obama is increasingly ignoring the law when it inconveniences him.
Thus, if every gun transaction in America must have a Brady Check, every gun in America could presumably be fed into a national registration system by ATF by simply copying the 4473’s.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo -– a man who gives you a pretty good idea of where gun control is going -– said, on the front page of the New York Times, that “confiscation” of firearms is an option. Obviously, having a registration list makes such a task much easier.
But what about so-called large-capacity magazines? Well, Republicans like Georgia’s Phil Gingrey have talked about the possibility of banning them. However, there are many problems with this.
First of all, millions of gun owners own these magazines for defensive purposes. To take away a homeowner’s right to choose these devices will simply make honest citizens less safe -- especially, when they are facing multiple attackers.
Moreover, police have sometimes had to fire 20-30 rounds to finally stop just one drug-crazed individual from shooting. This just underscores why, quite often, good guys will need more than just six-shooters.
Second, there are tens of millions of high-capacity magazines in circulation. What are you going to do about them?
Third, changing magazines (or switching guns) is not a big deal for people like Adam Lanza.
Fourth -- and perhaps most important –- this is a game the anti-gun zealots have played before: They threaten to kill the Second Amendment, and then negotiate their way back to “merely” eviscerating it.
Or put another way, they threaten to shoot us in the head to get us to agree to cutting off our fingers.
The only way that America’s gun owners are going to have peace over the next decade is to stop ALL gun control -– as we did after Columbine –- and then defeat compromising legislators running for reelection in 2014.
ACTION: Click here to contact your Senators and Congressmen. Demand that they oppose ALL gun control -- including magazine limitations and universal background (registration) checks -- being proposed by the Biden commission.
It will be the match that lights the fuse to begin a second civil war.
You can bet that kali won’t stand to be one-upped by those upstarts in new york as to who has the stupidest anti-gun laws. You know, the ones that don’t do anything except make law abiding citizens criminals for doing what they have a constitutional right to do.
NV freepers. Noon, Carson City, Saturday 1/19.
Just say “NO!”.
Molon labe.
It will go along that it will be “blue states” trying to push the “red states” around. It will blowback in the faces of the blue states.
Nice going obama. Criminalize the law abiding citizens.
This is to make honest, law-abiding citizens get prosecuted as if they were criminals, while deliberately and intentionally leaving guns in the hands of violent criminals.
I know, Unum, however I think it is important to illustrate that there is no circumstance in which I will give up my guns, even the the circumstance is absurd and will obviously never occur.
At this point I say that I am ready to give up politicans and elected officials. They serve no purpose other than to consume freedom, and that purpose needs to be ended now.
Hypocrite liberal media toadies:

Red light cameras put a stop to that years ago around here. All under the guise it was only to monitor traffic conditions, but now is a big money maker issuing $200-$300 fines for running yellow/red lights.
“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 nor objectively interpreted and you create a nation of law-breakers — and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system.”

Quite honestly, the bill going forward in NY state right now, will criminalize anyone who does not register their firearms and prohibits the sale or transfer of any so called "assult rifles". To me, that indicates that when the "assult rifle" owner dies, the gun will be required to turn into the NY state gubmint. It will be interesting to see what becomes of this bill and if NY gun owners will refuse to comply.

the socialist blue states can f-off and form their liberal socilaist utopia as far as I;m concerned.
Obama was electd through fraud , a rigged election from the Chicago machine and low info voters.
The constitution was not up for election and to hell withour party if they can’t get up there after the arrogant speeches of barack obama yesterday and show frigging emotion and call him what he is, a socialist radical.
They can take their socialist out of the red states and the swing states like mine FL too .
Guns were meant to protect us from Tyranny, of course they want to disarm us.
