We've almost won this round. There will only be eighteen thousand more.
We need a ban on liberals!!
To: TexasCowboy
Something to consider: We've passed CCW in several states under Bush, including in Texas where he signed it into law as Governor. Under Bush we've repealed the federal ban on arming pilots, and the DOT says that at least 4,000 pilots will be armed by October 1. We've federally repealed the state and local bans on off duty police carrying their weapons through "prohibited" zones into states with bans, too.
And now we've made the most of our tiny victory from back in our losing fight in 1994; we're exercising the deadline on the AWB ban itself.
You can't point to any period in our history where we've killed more anti-gun-rights laws than in the last few years under President Bush.

Damn local news shows video of full auto weapon fire, while stating that "This will be legal for you to buy come Monday, as the Assault Weapons Ban expires"!
These lying POS's have no accountability!

I definitely give credit where credit is due.
I have a lot of problems with GW, but in this area he has done a darn good job!
To: TexasCowboy
only be eighteen thousand more. Just remember TC, when the last round comes, we will still be armed. At least I know I will because I'm not giving mine up until they come and take them. Just in case my eyesight is gone or my hand no longer steady I'm buying more 12 ga. ammo.
BTW in 12 ga. do you think it should be buck shot, buck shot, slug or buck shot, slug, buck shot?

"yahoo, this will please those who were not going to vote for GW if he signed this bill." Yep. I have my Bush/Cheney yard signs ready to go up Tuesday, my celebration rifle is ready to pick-up now that my background check and waiting period are satisfied, and I am planning some noise-making for 9PM PDT.

If pump, then 12ga buckshot, slug, buckshot; if semi-auto then 12ga buckshot, buckshot, slug!

I always preferred both barrels with "00"s, but I wasn't shooting at anything two legged, either.
I think that's why I'm gravitating toward bigger and bigger guns.
I want something that I don't have to hit my target between the eyes to bring him down. A finger shot will do it.
To: TexasCowboy
Try #4 buck. At close range it's like a mini-Claymore, or a grenade you can aim.
Instead of the nine .30 shot, you get 27 .22 shot.

What's the best web site for firearms? gunsamerica.com?
The BEST and ONLY wise way to buy a rifle that the grabbers have their eyes on is in a legal private sale (assuming your state permits it.) You do NOT want your sale in the database, because the feds or your state will come for yours first, as has happened in other states.
You can find a local private sale on gunsamerica.com or auctionarms.com, which let you limit your searches by keyword. Local classified are also quite handy. There may be gunshows for purchasing.
DO NOT BUY FROM A DEALER. Pay whatever premium it takes (though you may actually save money) and absorb any uncertainty about condition. Freepmail me if you need help.

Feinstein, RINO Shays, some lib woman were on a 9/11 larry King show and the lib woman brought up the "need" to extend the ban. They tried to pin Sen Kyl down, but he kept changing the subject...
