Who knew that the Second Amendment was so specific on what arms the people could and could not bear?
They’re only assault weapons in the hands of tyrannical governments and criminals. For law abiding citizens, they’re defense weapons. Damnit!
This shall not pass!

Following is a summary of the 2013 legislation:
Bans the sale, transfer, importation, or manufacturing of:
120 specifically-named firearms
Certain other semiautomatic rifles, handguns, shotguns that can accept a detachable magazine and have one military characteristic
Semiautomatic rifles and handguns with a fixed magazine that can accept more than 10 rounds
Strengthens the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban and various state bans by:
Moving from a 2-characteristic test to a 1-characteristic test
Eliminating the easy-to-remove bayonet mounts and flash suppressors from the characteristics test
Banning firearms with “thumbhole stocks” and “bullet buttons” to address attempts to “work around” prior bans
Bans large-capacity ammunition feeding devices capable of accepting more than 10 rounds.
Protects legitimate hunters and the rights of existing gun owners by:
Grandfathering weapons legally possessed on the date of enactment
Exempting over 900 specifically-named weapons used for hunting or sporting purposes and
Exempting antique, manually-operated, and permanently disabled weapons
Requires that grandfathered weapons be registered under the National Firearms Act, to include:
Background check of owner and any transferee;
Type and serial number of the firearm;
Positive identification, including photograph and fingerprint;
Certification from local law enforcement of identity and that possession would not violate State or local law; and
Dedicated funding for ATF to implement registration

This has little chance of passing, but would be a nightmare if it did. It would certainly make more criminals, which may be the real intent.
Don’t be naive, and don’t argue with a fool in her folly. She doesn’t believe this will do anything but weaken the ability to resist government tyrany, and that’s the real goal.
People, we need to get over the “kook factor”, that of being called kooks because we call the left on their actual goals instead of arguing against/with their “front” argument.
Do not answer a fool in his folly, or you will be like him.
Answer a fool in his folly, so that he won’t be wise in his own eyes.
IE, CALL THEM ON IT.
so black in color would be one, right?
I’d rather stop the spread of Senator ‘I’ve worked hard for that title’ Dianne Feinstein.
One would think that modern medicine could prevent such monstrosities.
The “mood” of half the country is such that we’re “on the edge”. It’s a powder keg.
Folks aren’t buying record amounts of hardware so they can sheepishly turn them over when the govthugs “ask” them to.
This is confiscation and a declaration of war.

Second Amendment was so specific?
To those that think that we should only have weapons used when the second amendment was written please inform me of your wishes in the mode of the first amendment,
THE QUILL PEN!
THIS "WILL" GET UGLY........Texas will not submit...period.
California: Land of fruits and nuts.
I guess that the photo and finger prints are for easier identification after the ATF does one of it’s famous no knock raid and kills everything alive in your house. Ooooops wrong address, our bad.
