You cannot make this up

[M29since14]

Don't forget that we paid a terrible price before we were done with the Germans and the Japanese.

I hope you're right Cmort, but I think it dangerous to count on them to self-implode.

Beretta 92 have an exposed "unshrouded" barrel..................so I'm OK......

Beretta 92 have an exposed unshrouded barrel..................

Only semi-shrouded. I wonder if that's okay? And on and on it goes.

We all need to be aware, they want ALL FIREARMS.
Don't be confused or believe for a minute they only
want "some" firearms banned. Just a way for them
to try and win the "hearts and minds" by saying "oh we
would not want to take away from the hunters/target
shooters" etc...
A ruse they like to use to try and spin their anti agenda
to be more "friendly" to get votes they do not have to
confiscate all firearms. Be very clear about this.
Boxer, Feinstein, Pelosi, and the other ilk want us all
unarmed and at their whim.

As things stand, the only "form" of her bill that could PASS would have NOTHING in it that she wants.

They thought of that too. They worded it so that if one part is stricken down, the rest stays.

Taken from the last page:

If any provision of this Act, an amendment made by this Act, or the application of such provision or amendment to any person or circumstance is held to be unconstitutional, the remainder of this Act, the amendments made by this Act, and the application of such provision or amendment to any person or circumstance shall not be affected thereby.

I thought I read that any semi auto pistol that has ever been fully auto in some form. Would that not include the Beretta, Glock, S&W among others? I may have read it wrong????????

This defeatism baffles me.

From paper towels to assault weapons

Take a Beretta, Glock or S&W in 9mm for example, slip a cardboard tube from a roll of paper towels over the barrel and fashion a piece of foam core board to resemble a stock.

Wham!!! You have an "AR" format assault weapon which they will want to ban!

As always, it is like the camel putting his nose in the tent. No matter how they package it, their goal is the same, no guns in civilian hands.

Notice that the Ithaca 37, with its pump action and 4 shot magazine is not one of the allowed firearms.

Perhaps Ithaca forgot to make the proper campaign contribution

MOLON LABE.

Enough said.

"Eliminate" it?

Probably not.

Redefine it to mean the opposite of the original intent?

Absolutely.

They're like David Duke trying to convince people that the 13th Amendment protects the "right" to own slaves.

"Count on it"?

Of course not.

Ruthlessly exploit it and every other weakness they expose?

All day, every day and twice on Sunday.

Does a lanyard ring on the grip of a Webley pistol qualify as a "military Characteristic"?

Think about it...

For anyone that doesn't for a minute think this is a well orchestrated, long conceived, agenda-driven, blatant, gun grab...I give you New York. It can happen!

We are one Supreme Court appointment away from a full blown "reinterpretation" of the Second Amendment and gun ownership as we know it. Plan for it.

I'm telln ya, we are headed for a REVOLUTION if this **** continues!!!!!

I AGREE 100%!!!!!! EVERYTHING I HAVE READ OR SEEN IN NEWS VIDEOS, THESE SO CALLED POLITICIANS WANT EVERYTHING!!!! SO TO HELL WITH OUR 2nd AMENDMENT RIGHTS!!!

I am angry as well, but we need to make sure we aren't starting to sound like a bunch of radical revolutionaries. We have had some trollers on here recently, and I think they are anti's trying to foment this type of language. We win through the courts, and we win through the ballot box. That is how the founders set things up, and if we believe in the Constitution and in our country, we need to follow their lead.

WRITE AND CALL EVERYONE YOU CAN. If have written my state and federal reps. three times a week since Dec. 17th. I know they are sick of hearing from me, but I dont care. I have kept it respectful but I have used words like "expect", and "oath", not "please" or "consider". We have ballots and bullets to take our country back, lets hope we get a chance to use the ballots. We are not just fighting progressive socialist politicians, we are also fighting the naivety of the general sheeple in this country, and the liberal controlled media machine. We can not give them an inch ....

 

[Cordite]

Feinstein's Bill

...to ensure that the right to keep and bear
arms is not unlimited...

The Second Amendment

...the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

They aren't either bothering anymore to try to reconcile their intentions with the Constitution. So they have chosen to ignore it, despite their oaths to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution. In other words, they have declared open war on the Constitution.

At any other time in history, the term "treason" would be openly applied.

Once the Second Amendment goes, so will the rest of the Bill of Rights. Destroying the citizens' ability to protect the Constitution by disarming them assures a much less painless transition to tyranny. Not much of a choice for anyone who loves freedom and liberty for themselves, their children, grandchildren and their future generations - stand together now as citizens, or hang separately later as subjects.

No, sir. Don't mistake my frustration for defeatism.
I have always said "From my cold, dead hands." And I have always meant it.
I have not been sitting idly by. I try to do my part to fight the good fight.

What I meant was that we need to fight their bill in its entirety, and not just bits and pieces of it. I'm sorry if you misunderstood my post.
