Obama will seek these 4 elements in a gun bill

1. An expanded HR 45, gun owner licensing. All gun owners will have to have these licenses, even owners of facilimie weapons (AKA Airsoft and BB). Licenses will only be granted if the records of the applicant are clean (This includes misdemeanors from decades ago). Licensees will be required to hold $1 million in liability insurance. Possession of otherwise permitted weapons (See #3) without license is a felony.

2. Ammunition accountability... All ammo will be required to be microstamped and will be taxed $1/round. All non stamped ammo will be required to be turned in or thrown away. Possession of non-marked ammo is a felony. This part of the act also bans “Cop Killer” bullets.

3. Expanded “Assault Weapons” ban— This includes most all semiauto rifles, anything that can be “Bump Fired”, Semiauto handguns, and Semi-auto shotguns. It also includes pump-action shotguns and “Sniper Rifles” AKA your deer rifle.

4. Expansion of the Lautenbach amendment: Removes “Domestic Violence” as disqualifier to gun ownership, inserts any misdemeanor as disqualifer... Anyone with a misdemeanor on their record will be prohibited from owning a firearm. This includes DUI and traffic offenses, and offenses decades ago.

There you have it in a nutshell...

That would be a rapid prelude to CW2.

I hope those idiots realize that.

I also forgot to mention that the AWB will require people with “Prebans” to register their guns as Machine Guns, and that the tax stamp will go up to $10,000 per weapon...

“Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence, raised in the United States.” —Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, 10 October 1787

Based on what you said, is it possible for millions of legal law abiding good american tax pay citizens to side with the enemy for resources as well as other purposes?

So all the current ammo purchases will be a felony if still owned after 2011?

Also, From what I what I read last night, some states approved the ammo act....was that the necessary step to make it a felony for the ammo bought before 2011?

They might be surprised at the speed with which non-stamped bullets are turned in - I'm guessing at a speed anywhere from 850-3500 fps.
