Time to Take Inventory

Here it is, folks, and it is bad news. The framework for legislation is already laid, and the Democrats have the votes to pass anything they want to impose upon us.

They really do not believe you need anything more than a brick and a telephone to defend your home and family.

Look at the list and see how many you own.

Remember, it is registration, then confiscation.
It has happened in the UK, in Australia, in Europe, in China; Aand what they have found is that for some reason the criminals do not turn in their weapons...but the criminals are happy that all good law-abiding citizens do.

This serves as a framework for the new list the Brady’s plan to introduce shortly.

Now more than ever, attention to the entire Bill of Rights is critical.

Gun bans will impact our freedoms under search and seizure, due process, confiscated property, states’ rights, free speech, right to assemble and more, in addition to the Second Amendment. The Democrats current gun-ban-list proposal (final list will be worse):

Shotguns (or copies or duplicates):
Armscor 30 BG,

Striker 12,
Streetsweeper.

Catch-all category (for anything missed or new designs):
A semiautomatic rifle that accepts a detachable magazine and has:
(i) a folding or telescoping stock,
(ii) a threaded barrel,
(iii) a pistol grip (which includes ANYTHING that can serve as a grip, see
below),
(iv) a forward grip; or a barrel shroud.

Any semiautomatic rifle with a fixed magazine that can accept more than
10 rounds (except tubular magazine .22 rim fire rifles).
A semiautomatic pistol that has the ability to accept a
detachable magazine, and has:
(i) a second pistol grip,
(ii) a threaded barrel,
(iii) a barrel shroud or
(iv) can accept a detachable magazine outside of the pistol grip, and
(v) a semiautomatic pistol with a fixed magazine that can accept more than 10
rounds.

A semiautomatic shotgun with:
(i) a folding or telescoping stock,
(ii) a pistol grip (see definition below),
(iii) the ability to accept a detachable magazine or a fixed magazine capacity
of more than 5 rounds, and
(iv) a shotgun with a revolving cylinder.

Frames or receivers for the above are included, along with conversion kits.

Attorney General gets carte blanche to ban guns at will: Under the proposal, the U.S. Attorney General can add any “semiautomatic rifle or shotgun originally designed for military or law enforcement use, or a firearm based on the design of such a firearm, that is not particularly suitable for sporting purposes, as determined by the Attorney General.”

Note that Obama’s pick for this office, Eric Holder, wrote a brief in the Heller case supporting the position that you have no right to have a working firearm in your own home.
In making this determination, the bill says, “there shall be a rebuttable presumption that a firearm procured for use by the United States military or any law enforcement agency is not particularly suitable for sporting purposes, and a shall not be determined to be particularly suitable for sporting purposes solely because the firearm is suitable for use in a sporting event.”

In plain English this means that ANY firearm ever obtained by federal officers or the military is not suitable for the public.

The last part is particularly clever, stating that a firearm doesn’t have a sporting purpose just because it can be used for sporting purpose — is that devious or what?
And of course, “sporting purpose” is a rights infringement with no constitutional or historical support whatsoever, invented by domestic enemies of the right to keep and bear arms to further their cause of disarming the innocent.

There are two issues I have with your post... First, I don't own anything on that list - and seriously that is a shame. Secondly, it disturbs me that you own more arms than I do. I'm on board with you on the issue of gun control. You can't fight crime by taking legally owned guns. You may prevent one school shooting and a few suicides, but in all reality, if a person wants to kill another, said person will find the means to do so be it a knife or an SUV.

True that...
A person with homocidal tendencies will find a way.
Poison, arson, SUV... Whatever.
Personally, if you want to prevent school shootings, stop making them "gun free" zones.

I am a *little* surprised that you aren't represented here somewhere... I'm all over it...
Ever deeper if you count all the items I have owned over the years...

I just picked up a new toy this morning... a used Ruger Mini-14 Ranch model... Got it at a local pawn shop; been paying on it for a couple months, to lessen the hit on the pocket.
20 bucks here, 50 there- pretty soon you have a new piece of hardware for the gun safe.

And I just (this afternoon) got the paperwork that will free my stolen-and-recovered 40 cal from the evidence locker in St John's
county. Hoo ha!

(Did you know there is a really nice indoor range 100 yds from Rineharts on Washington Blvd? Since we can't bring the hounds, how 'bout the shootin' irons?)

Ahhh... It's nice to find another common ground with you... Dogs, guns... So... how do you weigh in on the spreading Orthodoxy in the former Balkan countries?

Well, since Balkan means "a chain of wooded mountains," I think the more appropriate question is: What do the Balkan states think about the Green Revolution in maintaining their precious wooded areas.
Don't get me started on religion.
