before this turns onto liberal bashing look at the sponsors:

Sponsor:
Rep. Mark Kirk [R-IL]
Cosponsors [as of 2008-06-13]
Rep. Michael Castle [R-DE]
Rep. Michael Ferguson [R-NJ]
Rep. Christopher Shays [R-CT]

It's just a stunt i hope or there are more anti gun R's in congress than we thought...and seeing Il, Ct, De and Nj on the list makes me think the latter...

Yeah those Remington 700 BDL's are some evil guns I tell ya.

alucard0822 · Jun 18, 2008

Looks like they are for Hope and change too, or about a year early

Time to get a writin'

SigMatt · Jun 18, 2008

Remington 700 isn't affected. This is a straight up re-enactment of the 1994 AWB.

Well, I doubt that your call will be well received. From his personal website:

Assault Weapons Ban - Castle, an original author of the 1994 Crime Bill, which included the Assault Weapons Ban, has written legislation to extend the ban for 10 more...

Fixed. While I haven't checked, I'm willing to bet that these guys are liberal RINOs.

Interesting. Did the previous ban have a section that required the Attorney General to conduct a study and present the finding of the affects of the ban? I thought it interesting that that was included. Guess we should get our lowers now!

Yes it did, and there were several government and independent studies conducted to trace almost every effect of the previous ban, basically none could prove the ban did anything. Seems crime actually went down during the ban due to outside influences, and the percentage of gun crimes involving "assault weapons" remained relatively unchanged at 1%.

In fact the only result was a bush presidency and both houses of congress turning red

I will not buy anything because of an impending ban that I would not normally buy.

Instead, I send some bucks to pro-gun organizations, buy stamps for letters, and try to encourage others to do the same, all in all stopping the ban in it's tracks is a lot cheaper than buying a bunch of overpriced crap I don't need.

Why not call them what they are: Anti Gun Activist-Politicians. Why use the Dem/Repub label at all?

Off topic...I wish I could figure out how to use the strikeout.... :sad20:
