Widower crusades to ban assault weapons

Washington -- A grimly determined Steve Sposato is back in the capital this week to campaign against assault weapons, nine years after a gunman toting two of the semiautomatic weapons killed his wife, Jody, and seven others at 101 California St. in San Francisco.

Another preemptive strike by the useful idiots in seeking the continuance of the 1994 "assault weapons" ban, in order to prevent it's sunset. You can bet your last dollar that the leftmedia will be pulling out all the stops to lend any and all assistance to the enemies of freedom.

2004 is going to be an interesting year. Prepare now.

"FEINSTEIN'S SUPPORT


The senator, who as a freshman legislator got national attention for her gun control effort, is ready for the battle, said spokesman Howard Gantman."

Does this mean Senator Frankenstein will give up her purse gun? That hypocritical witch is as evil as she looks and that says a lot.

[Atlas Sneezed]

I call them "Sport-Utility Rifles."

And their most legitimate use is being ready to fight enemies of liberty, whether foreign or domestic, whether elected or unelected criminals.

We really need to pass the hat so we can send Mr. Sposato on an all expenses paid trip to Milwaukee's inner north side, for a *vacation*!!

Yea, I was thinking about somewhere +/- a few blocks from 5th & Walnut; or, perhaps 3rd & North??
Yea...
A nice *relaxing* time spent in a "Great Place By A Great Lake" such as peaceful ol' Brew City for this citizen, is just what the Doctor prescribes.

...that's the PRx called for here, alright. :o)

Lastime I checked president bush supported the perm ban of assault rifles.

Joe, I've been meaning to thank you for the great graphics on the second post.
There are people who complain that they have to listen to one of the gun group's telemarketers on the phone or open up mail from the gun groups. At the same time, they want everyone to believe they would be willing to fight a civil war to protect their rights. Hogwash!
I don't believe for a second that the people complaining of such minor items as phone calls or mail would watch my back in an uprising.
So we can continue our fight with the ballot box, we have to get all of the gun owners involved. 95% of the gunowners more than willing to sit on the sidelines and do nothing is a disgrace. Thanks again for a great image.

ah yes...the mythical yet terrifying Assault Weapon Monster.

You're a bit too far east. I prefer 22nd and Galena, or perhaps 20th and North.

[Shooter 2.5]

The exact quote was, "he would sign it if it came across his desk".
Let's make sure it doesn't get there. We need to get control of the Senate and keep the House so it doesn't have a chance to go that far.

He is a fool if he thinks he can sign such a bill and win a second term. He may say that, but he better be real sure he never gets called on it.

[MrB]

Does the 1994 ban include the "high capacity" provision.

i.e. if the ban is not re-instated in 2004, can we get our hicaps back?

What Feinstein and her cohorts are hoping (perhaps working) for is some big incident where "assault rifles" are used to kill innocent citizens (preferably children, from their perspective.) They'll what the incident to happen right before a vote is taken on the renewal bill.

It's irritating that George W. said earlier he was for renewal of the act. However, I suspect he knows better than to alienate gun-owners who are his supporters and sign the renewal bill if it reaches his desk. We hope the bill is DOA in Congress.

[Joe Brower]

I call them "Sport-Utility Rifles."

Yes, me too. The power of langauge, as Alan Korwin put it.

[Joe Brower]

And your point is... ?

"he would sign it if it came across his desk"

True colors shining through....

[Joe Brower]

Totally my pleasure, Shooter. That image is from the estimable Oleg Volk.

Feel free to mine my website -- there's a lot more images where that came from. Link and utilize freely! It's all there for the cause.

[Joe Brower]

Does the 1994 ban include the "high capacity" provision.

Yes, that is my understanding.

i.e. if the ban is not re-instated in 2004, can we get our hicaps back?

From what I gather, manufacture would resume.

Any corrections to the above, please chime in.
