C-Span Alert (Debate begins this morning @ 9:30am on S. 1805 & Assasult Weapons Ban Renewal)

[conservativefromGa]

Senate debate on the gun manufactures liability bill will begin at 9:30 this morning on C-Span2. Expect Feinstein to attach her Assault Weapons Ban renewal rider on it. Also McCain may attach a rider closing the so called "gun show loophole". This is it folks.

I'm just reading this stuff, but it sounds like the worst nightmare from the last decade has returned. The same old stuff.

And I think we're going to get REALLY reamed by the republicans too. Realllll bad. Unless they are playing this to amend it up enough to kill it, somehow.. I'm starting to doubt it though.

[Rams82]

LOL Buckmaster

[Dead Corpse]

Hey jackass. Can't you count? Look at the list I posted above. Your beloved Republicans SOLD US OUT.

Are you so enamored of the GOP that you actually think one single Libertarian or RLC candidate would have voted with those 23 traitors?

Get a grip.

[conservativefromGa]

what an absoulte bullshit bill
just scrap the whole goddamn thing

[OXENinFLA]

YUP

[Dead Corpse]

Did he just say a .30-30 went through THREE cops wearing bullet proof vests? One round?

There ought to be a federal law against legislators lying thorough their teeth like this.

[No.6]

STILL waiting for bill text.

[Rams82]

Wonder if the Hellfire rapid fire systems will be next...

[Rams82]

Here we go assault weapons...

[Rams82]

I thought he was about to add an ammendment...

[OXENinFLA]

I missed it.


Oh crap now he's using a TERRORIST angle. So this is how they're going to play the game.

[DefCon]

Making the Bill, as a whole, unpalatable
is the purpose of the obnoxious ammendments.

[Sender]

The Boxer Amendment... requiring locks on all guns... even in your own home. Might as well call it the Surrender To The Criminals Instead Of Defending Yourself Act.

Oh come on now! It's for the children. *blecch* *heave*

[OXENinFLA]

I haven't really heard CRAIG speak much before, but I'm liking what I'm hearing now.

[Dead Corpse]

Me too. Hhhmm... Run him against Hillary in '08? What does the rest of his platform look like?

[Rams82]

He had a point...If I am correct most high powered rifles wil defeat body armor right?? So would this ban all those calibers? 30-06, .270, .300 etc.??

[Dead Corpse]

Yes.

[Sender]

Hey, but at least gun makers can't be sued

Not true. They can still be sued for 'defective' products. Who's to say what the meaning of 'defective' is?

If an internal locking device breaks or malfunctions, is that defective? If a homeowner can't see the little red chamber loaded indicator in a dark room, is that defective? I have a strange feeling that any gun which actually fires and kills an intruder must be defective somehow to the dems.

[OXENinFLA]

How abut this one?

This is one fast bullet.

[kt56]

An ice pick or a pointed knife will defeat soft armor
