And can someone please explain to me what exactly is an "assault weapon"?? Heck, I can turn a butter knife into an "assault weapon".
A fist is an assault weapon. I guess we will have to turn our hands in to the authorities.
An ‘assault weapon’ is whatever is legally defined as illegal. That’s how it has worked.
So yes, anything can be called an ‘illegal assault weapon’. Rocks, 11 round mags, anything defined in the bill as an ‘assault weapon’ is illegal contraband.
It’s really that bad. And yes, I can imagine a national ban chicago-style on concealed carry. The democrats will not give a flying rats a$$ about rights.
I'll bet you couldn't imagine a ban on political speech within a certain period of time before an election, the sentences of juvenile murderers being overturned because laws in other countries don't permit such sentences, and companies being owned by the feds, either. If we've learned anything, it's that we can no longer safely assume that it can't happen.
In particular with guns, I think you're going to see one of the attacks being the notion that only those in a well regulated militia are allowed to own guns. As you know, the gun grabbers claim this means something like the National Guard. Now, on July 2 of this year in Colorado Springs, Chairman Hussein told us of the plan he has for his own well regulated militia:
"We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."You don't have to go very far to see Congress passing a law defining Obama's civilian national security force as the well regulated militia of the 2nd Amendment.
So just keep mind that while you can't imagine it, the RATS are imagining it and they have the means, for now, to push a lot of it through.

An “assault weapon” to a liberal, who is inherently ignorant or anything relating to firearms, is any firearm that “looks scary.”
In reality, an assault weapon is a select-fire weapon that has the ability to fire both automatic and semi-automatic rounds, the change being accomplished by the flipping of a switch or toggle.
