Hogwash! What's to stop them now? You think they're going to collect them legitimately? You think the drug traders on the southern border don't already have them? You think the gansters across America don't already have these arsenals plus much more?

So the solution is to: (pick one)

  1. Tighten the borders, crack down on the gangsters, and work to keep the number of automatic weapons in the hands of criminals and terrorists down.
  2. Remove all restrictions on the import, sale, and possession of automatic firearms, silencers, explosives, short-barreled shotguns, and other items under the control of the National Firearms Act of 1934. Remove requirements that gun dealers be licensed and that they keep track of their sales. Forbid the federal government to even question why Abu al-Rashid and his friends are amassing firearms and explosives. Justify this insanely reckless policy on the grounds that "shall" is absolute beyond reason in the Second Amendment, even if it isn't in the First.

It's only us law-abiding 'fools' that have been left with hunting rifles, pistols and shotguns and guess what? RUDY WANTS THEM TOO!

WELL IT'S A GOOD THING THE PRESIDENT DOESN'T ENACT LEGISLATION THEN!

He either signs it. Or vetoes it.

And that determines whether a simple majority is required to pass it.

Or a two-thirds supermajority. Not sixty percent as you claimed.

Please, do us all a favor. And take a PoliSci class at your local community college before inflicting your abject political ignorance on us further.

3) Encourage the establishment of local militias by citing the urgency for their need due to 9-11 and the onslaught invasion taking place from the southern border. Repeal all legislation banning any weapons for responsible citizens in good standing in order to fully equip the militias. Sponsor training for the effective use of such weapons and encourage County Sheriffs to deploy such militias in order to SEAL the borders, eradicate the gangs and remove ALL illegal weapons from the hands of criminals and terrorists.

I'll go with number 3. Thanks.
