Gun ban said to include handguns, shotguns (Feinstein's 'The AWB of 2013')
UPI ^ | January 24, 2013 | n/a

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24 (UPI) -- A retooled U.S. assault-weapons ban to be introduced Thursday was to include handguns and shotguns in addition to rifles, The Washington Times reported.

The bill, by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., titled "The Assault Weapons Ban of 2013," was also expected to decrease the number of military-style features a gun may have before it's considered an assault weapon to one from two, the newspaper said.

Feinstein's bill would also create a national gun registry for the government to track lawful gun owners, the Times said.

Magazines, or ammunition storage and feeding devices within or attached to a repeating firearm, would be limited to 10 rounds, the newspaper said.

FIRST YOUR MONEY THEN YOUR GUNS
ALL DEMOCRATS ARE
GOD DENIERS AND CONGENITAL LIARS
Conservatives and supporters of the 2nd amendment the Obama regime is using the 2nd amendment argument to blame gun owners for its inability to deal with the hundreds of gangland murders and shootings commited in areas under their solid control using illegally obtained firearms.

Obama’s solution to those inner city problems is to remove those rights provided by the constitution to have and bear arms from all US citizens.
None of those 23 so called “reforms” and unconstitutional efforts being edicted by who some call an emperor do not deal with the following issues briefly outlined below .

They won’t because instead of creating a uniformly democratic society where every citizen has an equal voice no matter what their race or ethnicity.

Obama’s policies have divided races and ethnic groups gerrymandering congressional districts where much of this criminal activity occurs. GOPES {goverment of the people (republican party) elites} see this issue as a 3rd rail because most of it is black on black or illegal vs illegal (Mexican) activity .

GOPES are also afraid to say that policy also increased racial tension which has resited in deaths. But again GOPES accept this because of the influence of mainline socialist media which would be accusing them of “racism” if they dare to question it.

The purpose of all this hype on guns is to keep the right and conservatives focused on what the Demo-Coms describe as issues through their propaganda arm known as the MSM (mainline socialist media) not on the problems created by the “Libs” on their road of good intentions or the socialist/fascists/communists successors to comtrol over todays Democrat party; Which is the cost ,waste, and corruption of his administration which had led to a 16 trillion dollar deficit.

Not one word will address or offer a solution about the hundreds of gangland murders and shootings using illegaly obtained mostly handguns and revolvers .Using code words like “assault rifles” which are really single shot per trigger pull semi automatic rifles, used for small game hunting or target practice. That are legal in every state but made to look like their military counterpart..Called AR’s since Viet Nam and a DOD decision ARs are really medium caliber (22.3) machine guns designed to wound not necessarilly kill which is why they are automatic and fire as many rounds that are in its magazine once the trigger is kept in the pulled position. .They replace quick kill 30 caliber semi automatic (single shot) M-1, Springfield rifles and carbines used during WWII and Korea and approved in most states for use in big game hunting.

Obama certainly can’t critique a system created by his ilk .Ignored in his 23 edicts is that when once caught, perps get set free with lenient sentencing from “liberal” judges or sob sister plea bargain prosecution (which Obama supports for when a Illinois state senator while introducing legislation to sentence any 15 year old as an adult, Obama voted “absent” with others on roll call ) promoted by the MSM,The New York Times CNN, NBC and,ABC. There’s certainly no criticism of “no snitch” mentality partcularly in areas where these shootings are rampant.

It would be nice at these rallys if conservatives and would point these facts out to Obamas adoring public.

Gun control isn't about ending violent crime, it's a waste of breath to argue it from that angle.

Without a steady supply of crisis the lefty libs would lose their excuses for gun bans and they aren't about to put themselves out of business.

Yes, it will require an act of congress. That’s the point. That law was part of a negotiation that occurred in 1986 between gun grabbers and patriots and it illustrates perfectly why negotiating with these fork tongued sons of bitches is not in our interest. Congress had better understand that we are not, in fact, interested in negotiating on this because we already negotiated on this in 1986.

“It’s zero percent chance of finding adequate votes in the Senate. . .”

If Reid eliminates the filibuster he will need 50 votes to pass the bill. Biden as VP will break the tie in favor should a tie occur.

At least 30 votes are in the bag for any type of gun control. Another 20 of the remaining 70 are needed and all 70 are not rock solid pro 2nd Amendment supporters. It is not inconceivable that 20 men and women in the Senate can be identified who have a personal failing they do not want to be made public which can be exploited. Others can be bribed.

Think back to the passage of Obamacare. The people were overwhelmingly against the measure to the point where hundreds of thousands came to Washington to protest. Yet the bill passed. It was a pivotal moment in advancing the agenda of the left and they persevered. Disarming the population is also critical to the long term agenda of the left. They will do everything possible to pass as strong a bill as possible. If they get mandatory universal registration, they will know where the guns are located. Then with one more vote on the Supreme Court they can redefine the Second Amendment to allow guns to be confiscated.

Not only Democrat Senators will be under pressure to vote for the bill. Think about John McCain. If he was told never appearing on a Sunday morning news interview show would be his punishment for not supporting the bill, how do you think he would vote? The same could be asked about Lindsay Graham. Other Republican Senators planning to retire might trade a vote on gun control for a university president job or an appointment to a corporate board.

Expect every form of pressure possible to be used to get the 20 votes needed to pass. The Democrats know if they don’t win this time it will be at least two years before they have another chance to pass another gun control bill. Like healthcare, this is a must win for them.

Aragorn: Sons of Gondor! Of Rohan! My brothers. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of Men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the Age of Men comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!

John Roberts can be counted on to find that a “regulation” is not an “infringement”.

"What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, polkers, or whatever else was at hand?"

LOL! We could cripple the left by canceling cable, but we won’t even do that...taking the guns will be child’s play. Wish that weren’t the case, but...

Why is it? Why is it that those who steal guns, or happen to be in possession of one, who then go and kill movie goers and children in school have never been a conservative NRA member?

It's long been a concern of mine that will happen some day. I firmly believe that conservatives, as a whole, are much healthier than liberals but even the strongest of conservatives are not immune from mental health problems.

Along the same lines, what hell would break loose some day if an armed teacher or guard accidentally shot a student in the line of fire while saving the lives of 20-30 other students? The left would be on that like stink on s***.

I have no intention of joining a National Gun Registration.

I suppose we will have to see if the Government is willing to arrest Millions of citizens and hold them in concentration camps.

I admit it has been done before by Hitler, but I cannot believe Americans will put up with it.
