Popular self defense weapons like the Mossberg 500 pump, and popular target shooting semiautomatic AR-15 are also illegal.... The Ordinance specifically bans any semiautomatic shotgun that has a fixed magazine with a capacity in excess of five rounds.

I just read the ordinance and I don't see how it makes the Mossberg 500 illegal. It is a pump action shotgun, not semi-automatic. I think the rifle association might want to do some talking to the shotgun association and clear up their facts before putting out a press release.

We need a federal law that bans all assault weapons, and if in fact you do need a handgun you should be subjected to at least the same restrictions -- and really stronger ones...

-Rudy Giuliani

I believe I have a new tagline.

Because. We're "civilized" and we don't do that kind of thing. Just because they'll KILL you to enforce their unConstitutional edicts is, apparently, not enough reason to kill them first.

You're right. I can't remember where I read it, but recently I was reading an article that described Americans as being "unhealthily in love with the law". I think that is a pretty good description of most of them.

 If I hear someone in Cook County decides to open fire on the brownshirts, I'll support it.

People have forgotten that the Law, absent legal authority, is no law. "Shall not be infringed" is the "Supreme law of the Land" the "laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding."

It's a Right. If they try and take it from you, it is no different than a rapist committing sexual assault on you. And no, I'm not delving into hyperbole here. Morally, there is no difference. Since you can end up DEAD in either case, it fits without needing to artificially conflate the two scenarios.

The law is the law, but the law absent Founding Principles is an abuse of power that should be met with extreme sanction.

Lake, but if Boy Blago has his way it'll be statewide.

Yes there were a few gunned down like the poor slob visible from above on the tower, but the majority were burned to death, incinerated, toasted, charred, cooked, roasted alive, by a caring and concerned President, and Attorney General, bowing to the media and LE frenzy of accusations regarding everything from A to Z.

Yep, right here in Constitution country, and following the toasting, the survivors, and there were not many, were forced to endure a court trial and incarceration for their beliefs.

The same country my ancestors were forced to flee at gunpoint for their very lives, and not many years later the government sent in the Army to attempt futher intimidation, forcing considerable effort to again save themselves from utter destruction.

Despite these anachronisms, we are far safer in the land of the free and home of the brave, and still endowed with inalienable rights should we choose to exercise them. Just be very careful when treading on the sensitive toes of your rich Uncle.

Since Giuliani has recently discovered that he is a "strict constructionalist," perhaps he can join in a lawsuit challenging this gun ban on constitutional grounds. Anyone want to lay odds on that happening?

Nice post. I'll save it for posting on some of the Slobber Over RINO Rudy threads. Do you know what the "WINS Address" is?

the archives of rudy...

...I'd suggest that conservatives go through there with a fine tooth comb quickly and get the necessary information because with his announcement, I wouldn't be surprised to see this electronic record of his administration disappear.

After all, a candidate like that can't afford to have the people know what he really thinks.

Thanks. If Rudy is the Republican nominee, it will mark the beginning of the end of the party. For me, it will be the last straw, and I'm sure that there are millions like me out there.

Cook County should just incarcerate all the honest citizens and let the criminals run free. The place is run by criminals anyhow and things would be "business as usual"..

If this stands without a lot of fireworks, then they deserve to lose their ability to defend themselves.

Sorry, Fireworks are banned too . . .
