Personally I'd consider selling my house and moving somewhere not ruled by fascists and socialists, though such places are getting harder and harder to find.

Free State Wyoming anyone?

No sweat. The ACLU will take care of this infringement of civil liberties in no time. Hell, it only took them about 2 days to threaten suits against NYC for random bag searches in the subway.

*crickets*

ACLU? Heloo...?

*crickets*

Does anyone have any idea how widespread the criminal use of these so-called 'assault weapons' is in Columbus? Or is it relevant? (sarc)

So with the stroke of a pen private property can be confiscated.

Exactly how many crimes have been committed with these "assault weapons"?

If someone can be convicted of assault for punching someone, shouldn't everyone register their fists? Or is that done automatically with our Citizen ID, er... Social Security Number?

provision that prohibits gun owners who register their guns from ever selling their firearms, or leaving their guns to their heirs or loved ones upon their death.

The State..as King and Lord...

Private property is the heart and soul of freedom and our Republic

Anyone who goes after it ..is an enemy of 'we the people' imo

I think some politicians were frightened by the recent coup in Mauritania.

This is great...they prohibit bringing an "assult weapon" into the city after the cutoff date...make no mistake...this is a prelude to confiscation...The second question I threw in just because it's so damn funny...
   
Question: What if I move to Columbus after the November 9, 2005 deadline, can I bring my assault weapon(s) with me?
   
Answer: No, you will be in violation of City Code 2323.11, "Unlawful possession of an Assault Weapon."  You may however register your weapon(s) during the one time only registration period if you anticipate moving to Columbus after November 9, 2005.
   
Question: What if I'm not sure my weapon is an assault weapon?
   
Answer: Check with a certified gun dealer, or be on the safe side and register your weapon--there is no fee.

Of course, easy process or not, criminals still won't be registering their guns. Even the assistant city attorney who worked on the language for City Council, Josh Cox, admitted to the Columbus Dispatch in a story a few weeks ago that the ordinance will have no effect on criminals.

IIRC, it's settled law that a criminal does NOT have to register firearms with the authorites, because it would violate his or her Constitutional right against self incrimination. So if a criminal were caught with an unregistered weapon, they could not be charged with that specific crime. However, someone without a criminal record could be charged and convicted.

The beginning of gun registration, the end of freedom. Today it's so-called "assault weapons." Tomorrow it will be handguns, to be followed by hunting rifles. Then it will be the turn of .22 rifles, the kind every boy of my generation got around his 12th birthday. Once all the rifles and pistols are registered, the gun-grabbers will turn their attention to shotguns.

But they won't be satisfied with that. After they have all the modern weapons registered, they will go after historic firearms on the basis of caliber. So if you think your .75-caliber Brown Bess musket is safe, think again. The same goes for your .69-caliber Charleville or your .58-caliber M1861 Springfield.

Bottom line: The gun-grabbers will not be satisfied until we are completely disarmed, down to the last BB gun. As long as they hold any positions of power, either elected or appointed, our gun rights will not be safe.

geesh - they can't even spell "muzzle brake" properly.

I'm curious... since a muzzle BRAKE is not a "muzzle break", are rifles which have muzzle brakes exempt from the ban?

Our 2nd and 14th Amendments render some 22,000 gun laws moot except that career politicians in and out of blackrobes can't thrive if we citizens are adequately armed pursuant to our God-given rights.

Politicians who are acting as if our Constitution is some sort of a living cafeteria plan to benefit the police powers of the State are by their own actions enemies of our ratified Constitution millions of us are sworn to defend against.
