Don't you think, you're getting a little ahead of yourself, Chicken Little? We're a long way from banning rifles or any handguns for that matter.

Really. So the bill in the Illinois legislature which explicitly bans shotguns doesn't exist? Its all in my imagination? It hasn't been argued over for 2 months? It time for consideration hasn't been extended to Dec 31?

Please, explain my hallucination.

"Don't you think, you're getting a little ahead of yourself, Chicken Little? We're a long way from banning rifles or any handguns for that matter."

Oh yes, a long way.

Tell that to the Australians who have lost their firearms and are now losing their CROSSBOWS!

Man, you take the cake.

However, your illogical and anti-Constitutional ramblings are good for the museum which will house the carcasses of classic communists when it's all said and done.

This is how it all started. Incrementalism. Today we fight for basically semi-auto rifles with high cap mags and folding stocks and if we keep being defeated then we will indeed be fighting for grandpa's duckgun or little Timmy's 22.
Local governments are already way beyond this restriction and examine how the not supposed to ever be a database Brady Bill has turned out....it is indeed a database in direct contrast to the law.

If you can't see this coming, you aren't paying attention...with all due respect.

Even if you have the best of intentions, do you see any danger in giving up a liberty/right you CURRENTLY have? I'm at least as concerned about politicians who will pass legislation for votes than I am about legal owners of any weapon. That said Bush will get my vote because the alternative is a horrible prospect. And I do admit I would keep my distance from owners of certain weapons, which is the purpose of the owner anyway.

You really have no idea what you're talking about. "Assault Weapons" are rifles.
