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.

It will never be his blood on the floor after a 3am no-knock gun confiscation raid. Just that of the officers who are too dumb, corrupt, or evil to say "No". Oh, and citizens. We'll bleed too. Lots.
History demonstrates that once a person believes that they have nothing left to lose, particularly if they have just lost something or someone very precious to themselves, then no law will stop them from exacting revenge. That is the voice of History.
In view of that, I'd really not want to be someone who is perceived by a person without hope as one of the chief reasons why they are feeling so miserable. Just sayin'....

A right cannot be taxed. Tell that to the BATFE next time you try and purchase an NFA Class III firearm or Destructive Device.
Theoretically, the FedGov can only exercise those powers listed in Art 1 Sec 8, and yet try and find where in the Constitution running things like health care, Socialist inSecurity, NASA, FCC, FAA, EPA, etc... are explicitly listed.

There have been a couple of test cases. I think Rock River Armory had one where they got a judge to stand up to the BATFe. Maybe someone else has the link handy, I'd have to go digging for it.
It's been 70+ years of harassment because of the NFA. Ruby Ridge and Waco wouldn't have been possible were it not for the BATFE's unConstitutional exercise of force.

The principle scales up - it goes for 50-megaton H-bombs too. I'd like to see someone "bear" a 50MT bomb;)

Hey, I heard the new *24* depicts a raid on the White house. Yep. Next Monday in a two hour episode. The previews showed para-military units storming through the halls of the WH and stuff getting blown to bits. Now how can you resist tuning in to see how Jack Bauer takes them down with his 9mm? ;^)

Something is wrong with that guy (Holder). Anybody remember the SNL skit where Eddie Murphy dressed himself up like a white guy to see how biased banks, restaurants, etc. are? Holder looks like that character.

I predict this will Husseins first legislative defeat. _______ I agree You must both be smoking the Good Stuff. It'll sail through the House like AP through a vest rated for 9mm. In the Senate it might be close, but only because it will take 60 votes, unless no Republican has the cajones to filibuster it. But I think there will be enough RINOs, of which there are plenty in the Senate, voting for it, to more than offset any Blue Dog Democrats, of which there are not many in the Senate, who vote against it.

See you in Court if this passes. And the bad guys better pray that I win there, because I will win one way or another. Take that any way you wish.

Too bad they don’t have the Presidents from past seasons. Make it more realistic.

Holder said that putting the ban back in place would not only be a positive move by the United States, it would help cut down on the flow of guns going across the border into Mexico, which is struggling with heavy violence among drug cartels along the border. snip
"Some recent Mexican army and police confrontations with drug cartels have resembled small-unit combat, with cartels employing automatic weapons and grenades," the warning said. "Large firefights have taken place in many towns and cities across Mexico, but most recently in northern Mexico, including Tijuana, Chihuahua City and Ciudad Juarez."
I want to know where these gun stores and gun shows are in Texas that are selling full automatic weapons and grenades.
Maybe I'll get me some.

Since you are mentally handicap and rode the short bus, let me explain it to you, I did not run anybody. I did not want McCain, I wanted Fred Thompson or Duncan Hunter. Sounds like you are the type of fool my post was directed at. I voted against Obama to stop him. Sounds like you were okay with him winning. Suck on those tax increases there Buddha boy.

Look, the easiest way to bring down the central government and restore state' rights is to cut off its financing. No, you don't need to break the law by becoming a tax rebel, withdraw from the credit system or partake in any other such nonsense.
It's all up to the Chinese - they stop buying our Ts, the central government fails. Stop. End of story. The cosmic poetic justice is that rather preside over an expanded gov't, Hussein is going to preside over a failed state. And for that we should all rejoice.
