True "assault weapons" (select fire weapons) have been (illegally) banned for decades unless you fill out the proper federal paperwork and get special approval.
The latest legislation is nothing more than an attempt to ban semi-automatic rifles. Once they accomplish that, it's on to banning handguns of a certain size or caliber, or "long range sniper rifles".
I think the gun-rights lobby (and you guys) are overly paranoid of the slippery slope phenomenon.
Wrong again. It's because we know the history of how tyrannical governments have disarmed their people throughout the ages. For recent examples, study what has happened in Australia and England. Once they got the ball rolling concerning gun control, it didn't take long until they totally disarmed their populace.
One of the biggest anti-gun traitors is even on the record saying that is really doesn't matter what kind of gun control passes, just that something passes, so that they can keep the ball moving and advance on to the next phase of gun control.
Most of here have read the various "gun control" legislation, and know exactly what the anti-gunners want to do to us. They want to take all of our guns and ammo, and either kill us or send us to a concentration death camp if we refuse to comply.
