but but but. I thought putting more Republicans in the Congress would stop this. I thought RINO's were needed because we could get judges confirmed and our laws passed and stop liberal bills.

right. that'll happen.

Veryone this is a great catch.

I never expected Sensenbrenner to pull this BS.

Tom Delay better use that hammer.

"Plastic" guns?

What's next? Declaring tribbles to be an endangered species?

The gun grabbers know what this fight is all about... it's about "incrementalism." It's about steadily advancing their illicit cause, even when support for gun control has little popular appeal outside of Congress.

The next thing you know they'll be coming for your tanks and aircraft ...

What we need is a conservative in the white house who will not only veto any new gun control law, but who will actively seek to repeal existing gun control laws.

For what it's worth, this is what I sent our Senators. Congressmen, governor, newspapers, and other interested parties...
.

Two nights ago, the House voted in favor of suspending the rules and passing a bill. It was a voice vote, and there were only about 20 mostly democrat Congressmen present on the floor at the time. (The bill was H.R. 4210.) How can a bill be allowed to pass when so few Representatives are present?
 
Dear Senators:

I urge you to vote against S. 1774, a bill authored by Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA). This bill is unconstitutional, and it is a useless waste of taxpayers' money and of your time. Plus, the gun it purports to ban doesn't even exist!

If a totally plastic gun is ever developed, a ban will not keep bad guys from getting their hands on such a firearm any more than the other 20,000 or so gun laws keep murderers and thieves from getting their hands on guns now.

You have much more important things to do. Please, instead of wasting your time banning a gun that does not exist, force the Transportation Safety Administration to arm pilots.

Gun Owners of America will inform me how you vote. 

VOTE AGAINST S. 1774

 


Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence, raised in the United States. Noah Webster

"Gentlemen, Comrades, do not be concerned about all you hear about glasnost and perestroika and democracy in the coming years. These are primarily for outward consumption. There will be no significant internal change within the Soviet Union, other than for cosmetic purposes.
Our purpose is to disarm the Americans and let them fall asleep
".
Mikhial Gorbachev, President Soviet Union, to the Politburo Nov 1987
Ted Kennedy

ps.  STUPIDITY knows no bounds with the DNC:

"In the wake of the September 11 attacks, we need to do much more to prevent dangerous firearms from falling into the hands of would-be terrorists and other violent criminals," said Rep. Bobby Scott (D-VA) when speaking in favor of the ban that passed the House this morning.

Wow...look at all the babbling Paleo-Cons fretting over a ban on a gun that doesn't even exist. It passed in the House, that does not make it law.

Dubya has a long record of supporting gun rights in Texas, and he hasn't signed one gun limitation since becoming President.

Get a grip boys.

In addition to contacting your senators and Representatives on this, you should send a letter directly to President Bush, ccing Mr. Rove, Bush's evil genius and Jim Carville's clone, to the effect that you are not willing to sacrifice the Constitution and the Second Amendment on the altar of his re-ection to a Second Term. On the contrary, this is a critical issue and you will NOT support him in 2004 if he allows this bill to be become law.

And remember the Amazing Hulk from Kalifornia, who was elected with conservative support and now joins hands with that viper Feinstein to try and enact even more restrictive gun laws. Gray Davis should have been relected, he was less dangerous and besides, Hollyweird deserved him.

I didn't expect this horsesh*t from Sensenbrenner. Not at all. And how gutless to do it on a voice vote. No balls at all.

In one sense, the ban is meaningless since a completely plastic gun has yet to be invented. It would be like banning Star Trek phaser rifles. The technology is not even there. And no gun manufacturer is even close to developing an all-plastic gun in the near future.

Exactly. I'm going to save my energies for something a bit more relevant. There is wisdom in choosing your battles. I'm not fighting in this one. I'll be fresh and ready to go when something significant comes along.

I thought Sensenbrenner used to be a friend of gun rights. What happened?
