No that is my justified opinion of your unwillingness to support greater law enforcement on the border.
How much difficulty have the Colombian drug gangs had in sourcing whatever gun they wanted? I know our biker drug gangs here have no problems at all accessing illegal guns and explosives, and we have far more restrictive gun laws than Florida. PS this is my last post to the thread. Anything further may test our cyber friendship. Cheers, By
Q: What is an "assault weapon" under the federal law?
A: The production (after September 14, 1994) for sale or distribution to the general public of nineteen specific firearms (and copies of them by other manufacturers) listed in the bill as "assault weapons" is prohibited. These are:
Auto-loading AK-47 and all semi-automatic models of the Norinco, Mitchell, and Poly Technologies Avtomat Kalashnikovs.
Action Arms Israeli Military Industries Uzi pistols, carbines and Gali rifles.
Intratec TEC-22 and TED-DC9 auto-loading pistols.
SWD M-10, M-11, M-11-9, and M-12 auto-loading pistols.
Street Sweeper and Striker 12 or other revolving cylinder shotguns already classified by BATF as destructive devices.
Beretta AR-10 and SC-70 semi-automatic versions of rifles used by armed forces in a number of countries including Italy, Jordan, and Malaysia.
Colt AR-15, the civilian version of the M-16 rifle that is the U.S. Military's standard issue rifle.
Several semi-automatic versions of rifles manufactured by Fabrique Nationale: the FN-FAL, FN-LAR and FNC.
Steyr AUG, a semi-automatic rifle made in Germany.
This list of banned firearms is expanded ten-fold to approximately 190 existing types and models by the following generic definitions:
Any semi-automatic rifle that can accept a detachable magazine and at least two of the following features: a folding or telescopic stock; a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously below the action; a bayonet mount; a flash suppressor (or barrel threaded to accept one); or a grenade launcher.
Any semi-automatic pistol that can accept a detachable magazine and at least two of the following features: an ammunition magazine that attaches outside of the pistol grip; threaded barrel able to accept either a flash suppressor or silencer; a heat protecting shroud that would serve as a hand grip; an unloaded weight of 50 ounces or more; or is a semi-automatic version of an automatic firearm.
Any semi-automatic shotgun that has at least two of the following: a folding or telescopic stock; a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action; a fixed magazine capacity in excess of five rounds; or the ability to accept a detachable magazine.
You might want to actually read the bill.
In addition, I was in North Hollywood when the big shootout happened in the '90's and it wasn't that the cops were outgunned. It was that they weren't prepared for a well armed and well aimed opponent.
If you think that getting cosmetically altered guns off the streets are going to make you safe you are mistaken. As long as there are 10 round magazines there's a chance a cop might lose his life. Better to eliminate all hi-cap clips altogether. Meanwhile, we hand out AK-47'a in Iraq.
There's the logic.
More lies and distortion from you.
Spoken like an ill-tempered brat, I am simply exercising my God-given right to form and express an opinion.
Details of the banned weapons posted above for your study.
See post #183...
You might not like the way I've described your position but you can't deny its accuracy. You're firmly in the camp of Feinstein and Schumer.
All because a low-level functionary made a seemingly off the cuff remark on a Saturday.
Are they using "auto-loading" to mean fullauto? or just another way of saying semi-auto? If they are intending fullauto then that proves what a piece of propaganda this ban is. Machine guns are already regulated. You cant produce more full-auto AK47's for civilian ownership before 94 anyway. The only reason they would be mentioned here is to help imply this ban deals with machineguns when it doesnt.
Can you post a link?
Yah this ban is also called an "assault weapons" ban and it has nothing to do with assault weapons. AK47 means fullauto.
You are not proving that the ban deals with actual fullauto weapons, you are proving that it is dishonest.
And I am sure that many, many conservatives stood squarely in Bill Clinton's camp as he signed the 1996 Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, and many cheered as he sent his goons into the Miami home of Lazaro Gonzalez to unconstitionally kidnapp a little boy.
Politics and free thought makes for strange bedfellows.
While I agree with your post you cant call someone a liar because I feel your solution is a failure. Something needs to be done NOW in regards to our open borders and with our war on terrorism and the increasing drug crime we need to cut through the red tape and get the military out there or something to that effect until we get some control back.
I called you aliar because you lied about my position on the subject when you spoke of my "unwillingness to support greater law enforcement on the border"...a blatant lie.
Stay on topic.
Not for me. No one agrees on every single issue with another human being...it's impossible.
Well, you have your opinion, and I have mine. I'm not truly interested in other people's opinions of my opinion.
THAT is freedom.
