October 27, 200817 yr Don't vote for Obama, just that simple. From his own website: Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals who shouldn't have them. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent, as such weapons belong on foreign battlefields and not on our streets.[/Quote] According to them, the term `semiautomatic assault weapon’ means any of the following: The following rifles or copies or duplicates thereof: AK, AKM, AKS, AK-47, AK-74, ARM, MAK90, Misr, NHM 90, NHM 91, SA 85, SA 93, VEPR; AR-10; AR-15, Bushmaster XM15, Armalite M15, or Olympic Arms PCR; AR70; Calico Liberty; Dragunov SVD Sniper Rifle or Dragunov SVU; Fabrique National FN/FAL, FN/LAR, or FNC; Hi-Point Carbine; HK-91, HK-93, HK-94, or HK-PSG-1; Kel-Tec Sub Rifle; M1 Carbine; Saiga; SAR-8, SAR-4800; SKS with detachable magazine; SLR 95 or 96; Steyr AUG; Sturm, Ruger Mini-14; Tavor; Thompson 1927, Thompson M1, or Thompson 1927 Commando; or Uzi, Galil and Uzi Sporter, Galil Sporter, or Galil Sniper Rifle (Galatz).

Except as provided in clause (ii), a semiautomatic rifle that has a fixed magazine with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds, (ii) Clause (i) shall not apply to an attached tubular device designed to accept, and capable of operating only with, .22 caliber rimfire ammunition.

October 27, 200817 yr I'm a gun owner and I support the second amendment, but neither are important enough to be a deciding factor come election time. I just hope whoever is elected worries about more important things.

That said, there a many other issues important enough to not elect Obama on.
October 27, 200817 yr I'm a gun owner and I support the second amendment, but neither are important enough to be a deciding factor come election time. I just hope whoever is elected worries about more important things. The attack on any Amendment is an attempt to wrode everything this country was founded on.
October 27, 200817 yr Author I can't believe they want to ban the Galil Sniper Rifle.Me either, it's simply a 7.62X51 semi-auto that "looks mean".
October 27, 200817 yr I own a shotgun and have no problem with guns, but could you please tell me why I would need that rifle.
October 27, 200817 yr Author I own a shotgun and have no problem with guns, but could you please tell me why I would need that rifle.You can hunt with such guns. Range shooting is another reason. You find fault with either?
October 27, 200817 yr The attack on any Amendment is an attempt to wrode everything this country was founded on. I still stand firm in my belief that there are more important things you should base your vote on right now. Obama will not take anyone's guns away...stop worrying so much.

Obama will not take anyone's guns away...stop worrying so much.If he's for bring back the Assault Weapons Ban (and he is), yes he is. That much should be crystal clear to all.
October 27, 200817 yr If he's for bring back the Assault Weapons Ban (and he is), yes he is. That much should be crystal clear to all. I don't see an assault weapons ban as a top priority in this country right now.
October 27, 200817 yr I absolutely have no problem with either. If I need that rifle to hunt with I might want to get my eyes checked.

October 27, 200817 yr Author I don't see an assault weapons ban as a top priority in this country right now.It's one of Obama's priorities, it's on his own website that he wants to do this. What more proof do you need? :lol:
