Obama to Seek New Assault Weapons Ban
ABC News ^ | 02-25-2009 | Jason Ryan

As President Obama indicated during the campaign, there are just a few gun-related changes that we would like to make, and among them would be to reinstitute the ban on the sale of assault weapons," Holder told reporters.

I think closing the gun show loophole, the banning of cop-killer bullets and I also think that making the assault weapons ban permanent, would be something that would be permitted under Heller," Holder said, referring to the Supreme Court ruling in Washington, D.C. v. Heller, which asserted the Second Amendment as an individual's right to own a weapon.

i was, of course, speaking of Holder. i'm sorry if he's your buddy.

and would you call selling to law enforcement only "widely" available like i specified in my post?

who is the idiot?

You best be careful of how you identify others. Black Talon bullets are still available, with a different name, without the black coating, and restricted to Law Enforcement sales. Who is the idiot?

So in your world "restricted to Law Enforcement sales" is equivalent to "widely available", and justifies you calling another FReeper an idiot.

Grow up.

Every dictator and tyrant in history would agree with all the Demo-Socialists who want to gut the 2nd amendment -— Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Lenin, Saddam, Castro, Kim, etc.

Everyone who is eligible should buy a gun and learn how to use it. Those who already own one gun should buy one or two more. This will send a clear message to the Demo-Socialists, terrorists, and other crooks.

“The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” This right is just as important as free speech, free assembly, petition, property, due process, voting, et cetera.

If you aren't a member of a gun owners group, I'd like to ask you to join today.

The NRA telephone number is 1-877-NRA-2000.

The Second Amendment Foundation's telephone number is 1-425-454-7012.

Gunowners of America's is 1-703-321-8585.

This is going to be a very difficult time; the first Assault Weapons Ban passed despite great efforts from the Second Amendment community, and this Congress and this administration are even worse than that of 1993-1994.

A seriously mistaken overreach is just about our best hope now.

Toss this in... I expect the alphabet land agencies to administratively ban lead bullets and shot in the next couple years, and the epa to follow with a de facto ban on lead smelting and casting through unobtainable - outside a few industrial labs - emission standards.

No question, that's part of the plan.

So the Supreme Ct has decided that guns are ok as long as you don’t have a misdemeanor in your life...and just about everything but owning a gun is a misdemeanor.
And what are we doing about this? Waiting for the doorbell to ring?
Oh, when they come to MY house I will make these varmints so sorry!
Molon labe must be Greek for self-delusion. When they come for our guns they will also pull our heads out of our butts, and we’ll wish we’d done more resisting and less keyboarding.

So where can you go to by hardened-core bullets with a teflon coating? Nowhere. Because they are illegal.

They don’t need to come up with new terms or rhetoric, because their close allies in the MSM will back them and spin for them 100%.

Maybe they could pass a law against shooting people.
