Assault Weapons Ban

[Grindelwald]

It will never happen as long as those of us that care make our opinions known.Never say never...

I would certainly never vote for it.

[Dryfire]

I would certainly never vote for it.

When the government tries to ban them, your vote ain't gonna be worth diddly-squat.

[Grindelwald]

Would you rather me vote for banning all guns? Didn't think so. If Democratic lawmakers start talking of banning all guns, America will vote them out, as will I.

[demopublican]

They should just ban murder.

[Mom49of4]

They should just ban murder.

There are laws against murder but criminals do not pay attention.

[dsummoner]

Byngo! Exactly. The vapid that want government empowerment fail to realize that government empowerment also means the loss of their liberties (along with the liberties of others that they are trying to oppress).

Ex. A: The so-called Libbies did not 'vote' for the extension of the so-called Patriot Act. They did not vote for the stripping of all privacy provisions from the renewal of the FISA component of the so-called Patriot Act. They did not vote to have Holder sell them for naught.naught to the NCTC. Yet, all of the above happened.

[dsummoner]

Those supporting an 'assault weapons' ban are merely the new Klan.

They might if we actually punished them the first time the committed a violent crime.

Violent crime first offense: 60 years.

[Grindelwald]

You have just revealed your complete lack of knowledge of firearms and their proper deployment.

Accuracy in your home is even more important than outside.

Weren't you one of the ones talking about how CCW holders would have killed more in the Colorado theater, wildly shooting handguns? Yes, I think you were.

Does any experienced shooter here disagree that a long gun is easier to shoot more precisely than a handgun?

No, I don't remember saying anything about the Aurora shooting. You'll have to dig up a link to prove that BS, my friend. As for my folks that you questioned their gun knowledge earlier, they are much more gun-oriented than I am. They do hunt, and most of them own guns for protection. I try not to associate myself with them politically because we differ drastically and my views would be very much unwanted. But I trust their knowledge on guns.

Those supporting an 'assault weapons' ban are merely the new Klan.

Guess my conservative family are Klansmen then. Would you consider conservative people Klansmen? Apparently, you do.

How's life in that paranoid universe?

The history of domestic gun control lies fully in the history of domestic racism. The Klan fully supported disarming Blacks. Those supporting bans, now, are merely following the history of their ideologically equivalent Klan brethren.

Who said anything about disarming? (Probably the 500th time I've asked that and have not received an answer.)

The fact that you cannot tell the difference between an ordinary gun and an assault weapon just proves how ignorant you are.

[dsummoner]

How's life in that paranoid universe?

How is life on that NCTC slave ship that Holder placed you upon?

Surely, your 'vote' was for extending the so-called Patriot Act and for stripping out privacy provisions in the same related to FISA. Furthermore, your 'vote' surely must have been for the following:

In a secret government agreement granted without approval or debate from lawmakers, the U.S. attorney general recently gave the National Counterterrorism Center sweeping new powers to store dossiers on U.S. citizens, even if they are not suspected of a crime, according to a news report.

Earlier this year, Attorney General Eric Holder granted the center the ability to copy entire government databases holding information on flight records, casino-employee lists, the names of Americans hosting foreign-exchange students and other data, and to store it for up to five years, even without suspicion that someone in the database has committed a crime, according to the Wall Street Journal, which broke the story.

Surely, with your 'vote,' it must have been in the affirmative for all of the above.

You ran away like a beaten cur after the last time you tried to posit a definition of an 'assault weapon' by posting a definition that would mean every semi-automatic firearm. By your own definition, an 'assault weapon' ban would mean the ban on all semi-automatic handguns and rifles... which would leave a very small number of firearms (e.g. revolvers, single shot rifles, shotguns) in the hands of the citizenry. That would mean a defacto disarming.

If you are referring to the Webster definition, then it said "various". Please learn to read. Thanks. And you are dead wrong, assault weapons count for a small fraction of U.S. firearms. You fail at facts.

[slapshot]

There are laws against murder but criminals do not pay attention.

Some don't.

Other's become "criminals", after the fact. This 20 year old in Newtown, Conn falls into this category. So did the teens in Columbine, or the college student in Aurora, Colorado, VaTech, etc. The list goes non, and on.

Crimes of anger, of passion, of impulse are facilitated by easy access to the millions of guns in our society.

Thinking that only convicted fellons, convicted criminals comit murder is ignoring the thousands of victims that are murdered each year by the teen/father/relative/lover/co-worker/etc living next door...or in your own house.

[Grindelwald]

You don't Pho King tell me what I need.

So you can't defend yourself with a normal handgun? Next you'll be saying you'll need A-bombs in your home for protection.

I am referring to your propounded definition. Perhaps you should let your government handler take over... then again, it would mitigate the comedy at your own expense and we just could not have that.

I will bet you that the vast majority or murders are convicted by people that have been charged with violent crimes in the past.

Which was what? By the way, there are almost 300 million firearms in the U.S. but only a few million of those are assault weapons. So how is that disarming, again?
