I’ll do my best to find out. Won’t be alone.
Well reasoned.
No laws for them? No laws for me.
Thank you. It seemed like the logical take on it.
Thanks for the heads up.
You need a history? Here is how I remember it from my youth.
1962 We ONLY want to register handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1964, We ONLY want to register ALL firearms, not ban them.
1968 We ONLY want to register all guns, and ban the import of foreign Saturday Night Specials, and 5-shot bolt action army surplus rifles! (they got the ban).
1970, We ONLY want to ban small American handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1976 We ONLY want to ban ALL handguns! Rifles will not be affected!
1981, Actress Lee Grant on GMA screams...”THE NRA IS A RIFLE ORGANIZATION! THEY SHOULD GIVE UP THEIR HANDGUNS AND THEY CAN KEEP THEIR RIFLES!”
1986, They came for the rifles.
And if they can get a ban on semi-auto rifles they will go for their original target, handguns.

Criminal government always wants to disarm the people first so as to allow the freedom of the democrat run governments to murder the people at will.
All power really does emanate from the barrel of a gun.

Don’t forget that the NRA was behind getting the CGA of 1968 passed. It was dead before the NRA got involved.
Oh, and that idiot actor Charlton Heston was the guy who did the resurrecting.

Don’t forget to make a FARADAY BOX for radio, and have working vehicle with no chips. Food, Water, usual Preper stuff. Place to hunker down that can be defended.
i also have a hardback on my shelf
As I read further into it last night, more and more I was getting the feeling of “Deja Mooo” I’ve read this Bull Ship before.”
I was telling Mama on the way to the Pain Clinic this morning that very thing. So when We got back home I jumped to the end of the book.
I was correct... The Docs must have fried a bit more of My brain than I though back when they had Me in that Induced Coma during the Intestinal Christmas Day and New Years Day Explosions a few years ago. I guess I’ll have to start acquiring Travis Mc Gee’s Books. I read some of the excerpts He Posted years ago.
Of course you may be right, but I believe rifles are a greater priority for them. The rifle is the tool of revolt, and therefore poses the greater threat to politicians. Handguns pose a greater impediment to secret police showing up at your door at three in the morning – but that will come later.
I’d only be surprised if that was the worst thing Beijing Biden and his puppeteers got up to.
How it will be done, from 1976...
Nelson T. ‘Pete’ Shields
Founder of Handgun Control, Inc.(Now the Brady Center)
“I’m convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We’re going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily — given the political realities — going to be very modest.
Of course, it’s true that politicians will then go home and say, ‘This is a great law. The problem is solved.’ And it’s also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time.
So then we’ll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal — total control of handguns in the United States — is going to take time.
My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors — totally illegal.”
-Pete Shields, Chairman and founder, Handgun Control Inc., “A Reporter At Large: Handguns,” The New Yorker, July 26, 1976, 57-58
“Yes, I’m for an outright ban [on handguns].”
-Pete Shields, Chairman emeritus, Handgun Control, Inc., 60 Minutes interview
HCI, around 1984, made a grab for the semi-auto rifles and shotguns, and missed. Then Josh Sugarmann tuned in. This has been the mantra ever since.
“ Assault weapons’ menacing looks, coupled with the public’s confusion over fully-automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons —anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun— can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons.”
– Josh Sugarmann
