We do believe in limits on some of the weapons. You can’t have your own flame-thrower or bazooka.

Well, Joe, flamethrowers are not considered firearms by Federal law, and as such are not regulated in any way. "Bazookas," or other destructive devices, are legal in most states, so if Joe opposes them, then he is, indeed, in favor of more gun control laws.

"Assault weapon" is 'rat code for anything other than a bolt-action rifle.

And "high-powered sniper rifle" is 'rat code for the bolt-action rifles.

Get ready for the "common-sense" gun ban on "assault weapons" and "high-powered sniper rifles".

““Both of us believe strongly in the Second Amendment,” Biden said. “We do not believe in registration. We do believe in limits on some of the weapons. You can’t have your own flame-thrower or bazooka. And legislation in relation to assault weapons doesn’t affect hunters or sportsmen.”

Obama believed that the DC pistol ban was constitutional, till the supreme court overturned it.

Many countries, such as Turkey, permit their citizens to own only shotguns for that reason. This statement seems to substantiate the notion that the Democrats aren’t so concerned about crime control as they are about controlling the populace in general.

Let them keep thinking that. In urban warfare, a shotgun and bolt action rifle would do pretty much everything that needed doing. Add in a "Cowboy" lever action, in a pistol cartridge, .357, .44 Magnum, or .45 Long Colt) and you'd fill in most of the cracks.

But of course, once they ban the Ugly black Guns, (including those that are Hot Pink) they'll start on the "sniper rifles", and then there goes the bolt action. But it's going to be extremely difficult to demonize shotguns, even though they are used in a lot of crimes, because so many people have them, for many it's their only firearm. And demonize a lever action "cowboy" rifle? Not likely.

But just because they can't demonize them individually, doesn't mean they just won't ban or apply regulations so severe they amount to a ban for the majority.

Obama is simply unacceptable. He is a tyrant, and his election will spell doom for freedom.

See tag line. Freedom WILL Survive, although many of its defenders may not.
