Ok wow got you it right, You took the time to actually look it up and not just go by the scary looking military gun thing, I applaud you for that. You may be saved yet.

I will educate you really quick, Assault weapons and a few other things have been regulated since 1934. Yes we can have a full auto assault weapon, but it must have been manufactured before 1986 (supply is limited to about 175,000) you must pay a rather large tax to the ATF, you must undergo a lengthy back ground including a mental history check, and it takes a almost a year to get through all the paper work, and prices start at 5k and go up from there. To get a M-16 you will be looking at about 8k to start, these class 3 weapons are good investments as they go up in value. Also in all of history has 1 murder occurred with a lawfully owned full auto weapon in this country, so to stop crime and make the streets safer line is bogus and used by the anti 2a crowd to stir up support through ignorance of the facts in the general population.


Just because it looks like a Military gun dose not make it a assault weapon. Its no different in operation than any other semi auto rifle used for hunting or competition. As in one trigger pull = 1 shot fired.

As far as industries to save the economy, gun and ammo manufactures are running at full tilt right now trying to keep with orders, I read some where recently that between colt and DPMS alone are back ordered something in the neighborhood of 100 million dollars in orders. And thats for AR style rifles alone from just 2 manufacturers. You cant find ammo right now they cant make it fast enough.

I will say one thing for this administration its a hell of a gun sales man, the firearms industry is growing at a rate never seen before in this country. There are roughly a 100 million gun owners in this country and addign new ones every day. Thats 1/3 the population of this country, any time 1/3 of the people are buying anything and pricey items at that it will help the economy. Is it the whole answer no its not, but its a part of it, look at all the factories that make the supplies and weapons, look at all the people in the sotres that sell the stuff, all people that still have a decent job and making more money than they have in a long time.

Wagon: Please define Assault weapon for us????? Then maybe we can have a discussion about them.

Define "assault weapon?" If you aim to prove that i'm ignorant, then you are right. A quick search at Dictionary.com sez: a military rifle capable of both automatic and semiautomatic fire, utilizing an intermediate-power cartridge.

I'll start the discussion on them by saying that I think they're really cool and all but I don't think I'll ever need one. Moreover, I could care less what the government thinks about them since I would rather they spend 100% of their time investing in the industries that will pull our country out of this economic implosion.

Eric: You are right not all dems are anti 2A, I have 3 from my state that get a-b ratting form the NRA, but there are enough that dont to pass this especially if there is some pork attached to it for the moderates states to get them to vote yes, solely for the pork.

[E30Eric]

I don't think most people that own an assault rifle own it for self defense. It's hobby, just like fixing up an E30. A rem 870 is for home self defense.

[E30 Wagen]

The only use I could ever find in owning an assault rifle would be to protect myself from an attack by extra terrestrials. I guess they would also come in handy in case there happened to be a zombie uprising.

Until then, I'm going to worry more about THE GOD DAMN ECONOMY.

[E30Eric]

Some of those dems have to have grown up plinking with their dad, not all dems are anit-gun... I can see if they revise it a bit it may pass, but the way it is right now seems a little crazy.

[mrsleeve]

This will never pass. There is no way!

LOL HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH Oh yes it will when it comes up for a vote it will pass both houses ans the POUTS will sign it with glee


but madam NAN said no for now and return to the issue latter.

[E30Eric]

This will never pass. There is no way!

the scariest thing about this whole thing is that a revolution is not underway

Hence the "all other means of redress" part, revolution is a last resort.
