Banning semis is banning everything except revolvers?
When will this fail Constitutional muster?
you make the call...
I don't think that Mayor Coleman knows the pile of dogcrap he has stepped into....yes this is all posturing in an attempted to be the next Ohio Governor, but he isn't going to be....

The thing to do is keep careful track of who voted for what but otherwise ignore any bans these a...holes legislate and keep your powder dry.
The Constitution means whatever five Sup Court justices say it means at any particular time. Jefferson warned against allowing the Sup Court such power, but it has come to pass, and the inferior branches are not going to do anything about it, so we might as well get used to it.
It seems that someday there must be a definitive case about the Second Amendment; i.e. does it protect an individual right, or a worthless collective one?
As the Court stands now, I would be wary of the result, as it would take getting both O'Connor and Kennedy to step back from the dark side. If Bush hasn't picked a Souter in Roberts, then it comes down to Kennedy.
But then again, I haven't heard of any such a case making its way through the lower courts, so who knows when it will happen.
Unless the ban only covered handguns, and I think if anything it only covered long arms, that would still leave bolt actions, slide (pump) actions, lever actions, and break actions. Even if it covered only handguns that would also leave break actions such as the Thompson-Contender series, which BTW, are usually chambered in *rifle* calibers. :)
They can't take away what they don't know about....building rifles, etc. is theraputic...
Actually revolvers are semi-automatics if they are double
action.....
one pull of the trigger for each round fired.
Think about it!
Think where this could lead...
