I just called Debbie Stabenow's office as well. She needs to be offed politically in 06. Same with Lenin in 08.

And look at Rockefeller and Byrd's vote. In West Virginia? How many hunters there. And Feingold is two faced as always. Votes against the AWB, but gets the low profile ammo ban(WORSE) in. Kohl's at least consistantly bad. Bob Graham and BILL Nelson suck as usual. Dayton showed his true colors as well. The rest are the usual suspects.

This one is so hard-core, even Bingaman, Daschle, DeWine, and LEAHY voted against it.

Kerry (D-MA) - AYE

Kennedy - In a recent report, the ATF identified three, .223 and the 7.62 caliber rifles, as the ones most frequently encountered by police officers. These high-capacity rifles, the ATF wrote, pose an enhanced threat to law enforcement, in part because of their ability to expel particles at velocities that are capable of penetrating the type of soft body armor typically worn by law enforcement officers.

Another rifle caliber, the 30.30 caliber, was responsible for penetrating three officers' armor and killing them in 1993, 1996, and 2002. This ammunition is also capable of puncturing light-armored vehicles, ballistic or armored glass, armored limousines, even a 600-pound safe with 600 pounds of safe armor plating.

Kerry - I'm going to kick your sorry ass all over Michigan.

[Dan from Michigan]

BOOM

[KQQL]

Kerry showed up @ the senate..

The whole senate did a flip flop on the bill and killed it

[Dan from Michigan]

I know. Only 8 voted for the final bill.

YEAs ---8 Breaux (D-LA) Daschle (D-SD) Lieberman (D-CT) Lincoln (D-AR) Lugar (R-IN) McCain (R-AZ) Pryor (D-AR) Voinovich (R-OH)

[Dan from Michigan]

BTW - Let me clarify. ALL CENTERFIRE AMMO the AG says can penetrate body armor.

Maybe .22's would still be allowed under this........

[Texas Federalist]

What a freaking boob Chafee is! Will someone get him to switch parties. He's useless.

[Centurion2000]

Hmm ... they would not be stupid enough to try and confiscate that much ammo.

[Sir Gawain]

This ammunition is also capable of puncturing light-armored vehicles, ballistic or armored glass, armored limousines, even a 600-pound safe with 600 pounds of safe armor plating.

Cool! Makes me love my Winchester even more. Up yours, commies!

[Shooter 2.5]

Maybe .22's would still be allowed under this........

Until they call .22 cartridges, "Saturday Night Special Ammunition".

Kerry took a break from campaigning on the most important campaign day of the year to fly in a rush to DC to vote:

a) For the AWB renewal;

b) For ending gun shows as we know them; and

c) For a ban on most/all centerfire rifle ammo.

Let's shout from the hilltops that Kerry hasn't cast a recorded vote for about a YEAR, because he's been so busy trying to get Bush's job...but banning guns and ammo is even more important to him than becoming President!!!

The best part is that the stupid scumbag then voted against the whole bill, even with the AWB and gunshow-killing amendments, and therefore showed up for NOTHING! His vote never even made a difference (even his and Edwards' together meant nothing on any of the votes cast).

Kerry is a big loser on this day, no matter what happens at the polls. He lost among those gun owners who harbored any hope that he was pro-gun because he awkwardly killed a pheasant dressed in brand-new hunting clothes whil using someone else's very expensive shotgun.

[Dead Dog]

7.62Xwhat? What a bunch of dumb f'&*s. .30x30? (That's a 7.62, as is all .30 cal). Yah, only because every freakin' self respecting 'neck has one (his grandaddy gave it to him). I've got two, one was my Grandads.

[Dog Gone]

I hate to demonstrate my ignorance for all to see, but what is centerfire ammo?

I own 7 guns, including a mini-14 that would have been effected by this amendment, but what makes its ammo "centerfire"?

[demlosers]

Let's shout from the hilltops that Kerry hasn't cast a recorded vote for about a YEAR, because he's been so busy trying to get Bush's job...but banning guns and ammo is even more important to him than becoming President!!!

Looks like an excellent RNC campaign commercial in the making. LOL! Hello Eff'n Kerry, do you remember the 1994 mid-term elections? You anti-gun-freaks got rolled. :)

[Gringo1]

.22 is rimfire in most cases.

[KQQL]

He served in NAM ...you can't question his voting record...don't you know that by now???

[Indy Pendance]

These senators Kohl and Feingold are disgusting. Gad, they are losers! Why do the people of Wisconsin keep electing these liberals? argh! Let's investigate Kohl's gayness.....

[alaskanfan]

what is centerfire ammo?

Any cartridge that has a primer in the center as opposed to rimfire ammo. Yes your mini-14 would have been effected.

[WorkingClassFilth]

The primer is centered in the base of the case. Rimfire is not.

[deport]

Look at the back of your ammo..... where the firing pin strikes the ammo.... center or rim
