Buy your assault weapons now

[honda53s]

I'd rather my dad spend all of my college tuition on Ar's and Ak's...At least I'd have some cool toys!

If they call semi auto rifles " assault rifles " what do they call the real assault rifles?

Machineguns.

His opinion...was automatic weapons are already illegal..and yes he did pass a "bi partisan" AWB as Governor...he tip toed the question some more and then brought up F&F like that had anything to do with it.

It was not a strong 2A stance.

And at another point he said automatic weapons were allowed to walk in F&F. These guys can't get it straight what is an automatic weapon and what is not.

Great, another thread looking to incduce panic buying so the manufactureres and dealers can jack up prices. BO may want to pass an AWB, Bush said if congress put one on his desk he would sign it and congress didn't have the guts to do it. Don't know why they would now.

As far as Mitt and MA. Go to "northeastshooters.com" and see what kind of hell these people are in. Worth spending some time looking around the site. MA residents need a license to own hicap mags and can only buy preban. They basically kept the Clinton AWB with more restrictions, as did NY. I'd like to have been a fly on the wall during the so called mutual agreement meetings between the pros and antis in Mitt's MA.
If the Dems were to get their way, it would be illegal to sell your hicap mags. Sounds like a basic seizing of property in a sense. You could never recoup your investment.

Ugh don't start this sh*t again. It isn't going to happen in the next four years. I'm not saying it will never happen again, but it ain't gonna happen in Obamas next term (if he wins.) Obama would certainly sign one. But I doubt the senate would pass such a bill. It is politically disastrous. Not only that, but there are a few outspoken pro-2A dems in the senate, not to mention the republicans.

Even IF it did pass the senate, no way in hell is it passing the house. The dems have almost zero chance of regaining control of the house.

Relax, don't all go spend your kids' college funds on ARs and AKs.

We have no one to blame but ourselves when in 6 months we're crying that we can't find ammo and when we can, it's $30 for a 50rd box of 9mm.

The bill would get voted by house before the senate. The order is house then senate then president. Just an FYI

 

[K31]

There is much talk that the D's wouldnt do it again as they lost both houses as a result.

They lost because of fear of Hillary-care.

What's an "assault weapon"?

this

 

[n1hook]

President Obama just stated in the debate he wants to reinstate the assault weapons ban. Scary situation, luckily I will turn 21 right before the election so hopefully I can get at least one before it it reinstated.

An assault weapon has full auto capability none of the ar's or ak's have that capability and are only semi automatic

They don't know the difference. Heard that one stupid senator from California describe an assault rifle, "yeah, it's black and shoots fast." These people are morons without a clue of what they're talking about, but they have the power to ban guns.

Oh, don't forget to throw in those large capacity magazines into the discussion!

Who needs more than a 10 round magazine anyway?

 

[tomgreco]

Thats how im looking at it. Obama straight said it. Romney saying auto's are already illegal and then the above quote saying hes not in favor of any new control definately makes me feel better.

...and that's my problem with Richie Rich... won't say anything straight.

 

[swinokur]

IMO, Obama just stated hi s position to mollify his uber left base. I don't think he has any real intention of doing anything. As stated, Congress won't embrace a political loser like an AWB.

This is my suspicion, too. If you read the transcript, he mentions the AWB and then basically runs away from it at full speed. Hell, he even runs away from his previous remarks about AK-47s and mentions how those AREN'T the problem in Chicago. He's not our friend when it comes to gun rights, but he didn't sound like a guy who was going to make an AWB into priority one for his next term. He'll sign it, but he's not going to waste political capital on it.

 

[Nanook]

What a beautiful time to finally enter the once-fired brass market! Once the paperwork goes through and I can collect the property and start processing for resale. Can't wait for IP status around here!

Otherwise, this panic buying crap is going to suck beyond all belief.

 

[Haides]

The way I see it, it seems like Obama's been holding back on the anti-gun stuff because he knows bringing out the big guns now would guarantee him a loss. Instead he's gonna wait til he's elected and has nothing left to lose before he shows his true colors. Romney on the other hand, seems more like a spineless weasel who will cave to whoever puts the most pressure on him. So there may not be another AWB in the near future, but either way it doesn't look great for us for the next 4 years.

But then again I'm young, so I could very well be wrong...

 

[rseymorejr]

I like how Obummer said he'd do another AWB...but they arent killing folks where he lives....it's cheap handguns...so what's keeping you from going after those?

Incorrect, it's criminals doing the killing.

Man, I'm screwed. I won't be 21 for another year and a half. Dadburnnit.

That means that you're 19 so do the only thing you can do... VOTE

 

[joppaj]

It all comes down to Congress. I suspect that he'd do it if he had both chambers. If he's got one of the two after the 2014 mid-terms, I think he'll push it.

This makes the assumption that he hates guns so much that he'd screw over the entire Democratic party for the 2014/2016 elections. I very much doubt it.
