The law of averages predicts that at some time in the future, perhaps as soon as 2017, the Democratic Party will once again control the White House and majorities in both houses of Congress. When that happens, the next Democratic president -- be it Hillary Clinton or someone else -- will sign into law a sweeping, foreign-style gun ban.
The legislation has already been written. H.R. 4269 would enact a national, permanent ban on the manufacture and sale of so-called “assault weapons” and all firearm magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds. The bill, introduced last December, already has149 Democratic co-sponsors (218 are needed to pass the House).
H.R. 4269 would ban all AR-15 and AK-type rifles and all civilian versions of military rifles produced anywhere in the word within the past 60 years or so. The bill would also ban all parts kits, stripped receivers, “bump-fire” stocks, thumbhole stocks, trigger cranks, so-called “compliant” rifles, and “any… characteristic that can function as a [pistol] grip.” Law enforcement is exempt from the bill’s provisions.

those in DC and those who own them obviously fear an armed citizenry even though the UC citizen has and still complies with their anti-constitutional anti-second amendment laws. People do change with the right kind of encouragement, especially when they feel their own lives and their family’s lives are being threatened. History repeats.
They have no inkling the damage a competent rifleman with an old bolt-action Enfield, Moisin-Nagant or Springfield can do, one shot at a time.
I have put away enough money that on November 9th I am either buying more ammo or more weapons and more ammo. My wife said enough is enough with the gun buying and the accidents on the lake. Hate to tell her this, but she needs to take her head out of the sand.
I really wish I had bought a case of M-Gs in cosmoline when they were $50 apiece. That and a few thousand rounds, and you have provided basic equipment for a fireteam for $500-$600.
The Senators we send to Washington think they work for the federal government rather then the state that elected them...
Maybe we need a law that says NO Senator can accept money from someone from another State.... Hell, maybe there is a law against it and they just don't enforce it...
Paging Cindy Caswell... (re: “Unintended Consequences”)
As these kind of stories come out and are posted on FR, I for one would encourage you to remember that there are people out there right now who are watching and taking notes on every publicly expressed opinion.
There will probably come a day when we will have to fight to keep what little freedom we have left.
“Civil War is coming...”
It’s here. They’ve been waging war against us for seventy years and we just haven’t fought back yet.
But...
Remember, there’s a Selective Service bill that was set aside, waiting for a vote until after Hillary “is elected,” decreeing that all women 18-30 must now enlist.
Word to the wise gals: She ain’t in this for YOU. Vote for her and you’ve got a big surprise coming.
How about what a competent hunter wielding a modern bolt action rifle can do? The kind that shoots flat to 400 yards or more using state of the art optics.
IMO it was hunters that Adm. Yamamoto meant when he said `there will be a rifle behind every blade of grass’.
It is hunting rifles that the U.N. small arms commission wants to rename “medium range sniper weapons” & have them banned.
Won’t be a new civil war in my view but rather a low intensity insurgency.
Name any place in the US where bans have worked. Even mild Canada said no to registration (the precursor to confiscation). I just dont see anythig coming from DC as viable. They might try but in the end itll fail.
I was harping on this bill repeatedly, a few months ago.
The response / interest — if posts responding to mine count for anything—
was zero. Crickets.
How many of you have actually read this bill? Link below. Or called, or written your congresscritters?
Hmmmm?
Don’t just call your repubbies; harass your democrats as well, with calls and letters.
The bill, cosponsored by virtually all democrats in the house, would criminalize POSSESSION of dozens of guns you CURRENTLY own, in addition to future purchase, manufacture, import, etc.
THIS IS TRULY A GUN CONFISCATION BILL.
And the bill goes far beyond so-called “assault weapons.”
It includes a very, very scary-ass long LIST of various commonly owned guns, the POSSESSION of which would be outlawed.
Read the bill. SIGN UP for UPDATES, so you’ll know when it moves forward, and you can keep the heat on your congress.
The OP is correct—if we get a democrat POTUS and majority, it might actually pass. We cannot allow this.
The stakes are huge.

I find it very hard to believe we will take up arms and fight later, if we won’t even pick up a pen or a telephone now.
They figure that they won’t have to come and take them if they simply ban the transfer of any firearm. They will wait until you die and then take them.

Only way the States can survive the Corrupt Clinton Presidency is to Leave the UNION—Forge a new CSA (Constitutional States of America—this time) The new nation could name Donald Trump as its President—and Newt as her VP. Who would go out? Texas for one. Most of the south, and some of the west. First thing to do is seize the nukes and threaten to destroy Washington DC if they should resist—Think of it as a form of Urban Renewal. Flag? How about the Rattlesnake flag of the Revolution? “Don’t Tread on Me” is a good motto—That or the “Come and Take it” Flag.
The dems can have wet dreams about a federal gun ban...
We are still 50 sovereign states and they can pass any law they want out of DC...
It won’t be obeyed or enforced by the vast majority of citizens and law enforcement...
Your local sheriff going to knock on every gun owners door to collect your illegal weapon?
This will be the bloodiest war in human history.
Once it begins, there will be no holding back as society rapidly collapses around it.
Elections have consequences. If I were prez, I’d appoint 30 year olds to SCOTUS.
