The Obama administration will seek to reinstate the assault weapons ban that expired in 2004 during the Bush administration, Attorney General Eric Holder said today. .............."I think that will have a positive impact in Mexico, at a minimum." Holder said at a news conference on the arrest of more than 700 people in a drug enforcement crackdown on Mexican drug cartels operating in the U.S.

 

 

Because it will help Mexico?

Yes me buying a fully automatic AK 47 in Kentucky is going to help corrupt Mexico... Holder has got to be one of the biggest idiots I've ever heard talk.

I have no political agenda here, but why would anyone need an "assault weapon?"

Define assault weapon.

Define assault weapon.

Define assault weapon.

 

Semi-automatic or fully automatic rifles which are typically used by the United States military (M4 Carbine, or M16's are a good example).

 

I'm not saying that is what they will define it as, or anyone else for that matter. That's just generally what I think of when I think of an "assault weapon".

 

I'd love to own a few, but I can't think of a single reason as to why I would need it. I'd want it, but only to shoot it on a range. I would have no other use for it.

Isn't there a lot of things we 'want' but don't need? Do you want the government to decide if you can or not ?

Define assault weapon.

 

A weapon that can cause mass killings in a matter of minutes. You have a 30 round clip in your M4 or M16 with two more mags on you. You could kill up to 90 people in 10 mins if you knew how to use it.

A weapon can't cause mass killings, only a lunatic behind it can.

See, what you're showing me in your example is nothing more than another reason to have conceal carry.

^ Fertilizer and diesel fuel can kill a lot more a lot faster.... Should we ban them too??

Before you know it, the government then will start to consider handguns and much simpler weapon like it to fall into this category and before you know it, the government has all the weapons and the people have lost their whole right of "bearing arms" in one single-fell swoop.

For the sake of reference:

 

Those of you on this site in support of said ban, are you aware(outside of HB20 whom I think knows he laws) of the laws on the books regarding the ownership of what would be considered an "assault" weapon.

 

I will disagree with HB's assessment of an assault weapon however. If it isn't fully automatic it isn't an assault weapon, it is just a semi-automatic weapon that looks mean.

I have no political agenda here, but why would anyone need an "assault weapon?"

 

Aren't they all potential "assault weapons"?

 

I can't believe I'm saying this in this way, but if the government allows an individual to possess any gun, they may as well allow them to possess any kind of gun.

Stud, many a person could do that with his favorite shotgun that he takes hunting on the weekends.

 

Silver lining in this development: increases the chance a Republican will win in 2012. As more and more Obama initiatives get installed, the pendelum will once again swing back to the right. And after a term or two of a Republican, it will swing back to the left. Oh we are a fickle people.
