So that's my challenge to you, young one, come back to this thread when you can post ONE UNCONSTITUIONAL SENTENCE from the actual text of the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban bill.

And here's my bet: you'll post everything BUT such a sentence.

First of all, your challenge was childish and stupid quite frankly. The whole ban on semiautomatic weapons for having a mean appearances is an infringement on the right to bear arms.

Let me post it:

18 USC Chapter 44 as amended by Public Law 103-322 (enacted 09-13-94)
1. Any of the firearms, or copies or duplicates of the firearms in any caliber, known as -
(1) Norinco, Mitchell and Poly Technologies Avtomat Kalashnikovs
(all models);
(2) Action Arms Israeli Military Industries UZI and Galil
(3) Beretta Ar70 (SC70)
(4) Colt AR-15; (v) Fabrique Nationale FN/FAL, FN/LAR, and FNC
(5) SWD M-10, M-11, M-11/9, and M-12;
(6) Steyr AUG
(7) INTRATEC TEC-9, TEC DC-9, and TEC-22 and
(8) revolving cylinder shotguns, such as (or similar to) the Street Sweeper
and Striker 12.
2. A semiautomatic rifle that has the ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least 2 of
-
(1) a folding or telescopic stock;
(2) a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the
weapon;
(3) a bayonet mount;
(4) a flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a
flash suppressor; and
(5) a grenade launcher;

3. A semiautomatic pistol that has the ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least 2
of -
(1) an ammunition magazine that attaches to the pistol outside of the
pistol grip;
(2) a threaded barrel capable of accepting a barrel extender,
flash suppressor, forward handgrip, or silencer.
(3) a shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles,
the barrel and that permits the shooter to hold the firearm with
the nontrigger hand without being burned.
(4) a manufactured weight of 50 ounces or more when the pistol
is unloaded.
(5) a semiautomatic version of an automatic firearm
4. A semiautomatic shotgun that has at least 2 of -
(1) a folding or telescopic stock;
(2) a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of
the weapon;
(3) a fixed magazine capacity in excess of 5 rounds; and
(4) an ability to accept a detachable magazine.

Any gun manufactured or built after September 14, 1994 (post-ban) can only have up to 2 of these dangers on it. If your gun has more than that, and they catch you, the penalty is a $10,000 fine and up to 10 years in prison. If you have a gun made before September 14, 1994 (pre-ban), you are able to have as many of the dangers on it as you would like legally. The caveat is that the gun has to have been in an "assault weapon" configuration on or before the ban took place.

You bet wrong.

I STILL want this thread nuked. It's stupid, and getting stupider. No matter how careful you and others are to point out the obvious to these Bush-haters, they are out to draw blood and won't stop.

Nothing is good enough for them, nothing is pure enough for them, President Bush isn't Christ returned to destroy evil once for all, and they're vicious in their disappointment, and determined to destroy him because of that. He can do no right, he has won nothing, he should be vilified and disinherited from the Republican party because he hasn't fulfilled THEIR vision.

This article was drek from the beginning, continues to be drek, and as long as it continues, will be drek. I'm sick of it. Political kindergartners actually think they have something important to say.

JimRob left it up, but it's the political equivalent of kudzu.
