Breaking with Republican lawmakers who oppose gun control and a Hollywood film career filled with gun play, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed a bill banning .50-caliber BMG rifles, an aide said September 14, 2004.

the 10-year federal ban ... on certain semiautomatic firearms known as "assault weapons

They're only known that way because we've let the gun-haters define the rhetoric. There is no such thing as a semi-automatic assault rifle. By definition, assault rifles are at least selectively automatic or burst-fire.

What a phoney! Obviously, terrorists will not respect the ban, and if a million plus people can sneak across the Southern border every year, there would be very little problem bringing in the weapons.

This simply tends to disarm the law-abiding--tilting the essential ratio between the armed defenders of California society and its various classes of enemy, more against the safety of the law-abiding.

And see, generally, The Right To Keep & Bear Arms.
