War zone? Where the hell are the burst and automatics then?
Feinstein is a f***ing idiot and a waste of oxygen.
LOL!! Double redundncy alert! As if those couldn't grips couldn't be applied to any weapon. More "2nd amendment is for hunting" drivel.
""Eric Howard, spokesman for the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, said that just because there are no statistics to prove it does not mean the expiration of the ban hasn't had a negative effect.
What's most disturbing, he said, is that the free-flowing U.S. marketplace for military-style rifles comes as gang violence is reaching horrific levels.
"Now manufacturers are kicking it up and we're seeing things like fingerprint-proof resistant grips," he said. "That's clearly to attract a niche that's not your regular duck hunter."""
Nice to be able to make an assertion with absolutely no proof--and admit it.
Odd, two out of three of my "assault weapons" are ban-era weapons (an AR and a WASR --so what, they don't have a lug, big deal) and all of my > 10 rd Beretta and AR magazines were legally purchased during the ban, except for 10 "LEO" stamped AR mags bought legally after the sunset just to stick a finger in Sarah Brady's eye. So I don't know in what reality this quote applies.

I googled the same phrase without the redundancy, and this guys quote was second on the list.
But as usual, the obvious facts mean nothing to the hoplophobes. Just another opportunity for twisted hyperbole.
I would be happy with any brand of folding stock that would fit the Marlin.
Damn, that thing doesn't even LOOK like a gun. I'm not sure what it looks like.
Like their toadies on the Supreme Court, Liberals just can't seem to grasp what the Bill of Rights are all about.
The clueless gun-grabbers are at it again. We have to be ever-vigilant, or they'll sneak in another ugly gun ban.
BTW, the other night I lurked on DU and found a gun control thread. Some guy had the temerity to suggest that he could be a liberal and still support the Second Amendment. He said he had just joined the NRA. Boy, the flames immediately started. He learned very quickly from the DUmmies that you always have to sing from the liberal hymnbook. Guess their tolerance and diversity only goes so far.
Democrats are worried that crime will continue to drop.
They need a set number of deaths in order to "claim the issue".
Yeah...it's kind of like hanging around here and saying that a big-government Republican isn't really a conservative. That'll get you flamed right quick.

Sadly, you are right. Just because an office-holder has (R) after his name doesn't mean he favors individual rights any more than a loony left-winger. Just look at our own John "Captain Queeg" McCain, a sorry excuse for a senator from Arizona. In the last election he got a C rating from the NRA, the same rating as his liberal Democrat opponent. Republicans can take away our firearms just as quickly as Democrats can. That's why I don't trust any of them.
