April 20, 201016 yr Frankly, if given my choice, citizens would not own assault weapons. But, then, that's just me. I'm OK with hand guns and rifles/shotgun type things. But, I simply don't see the need for any military type weapons in any citizen's hands. Duh, mom. You need them to protect you from the jack-booted, socialist thugs who are coming to take your OTHER guns away while giving you health care. They are trying to streamline government so they are going to do both with one visit.
April 20, 201016 yr Oh please, he bowed to a little political pressure on a subject he figured would give him a little trust in the gun world. I, however, haven't forgotten any of this about Obama: He voted to allow reckless lawsuits designed to bankrupt the firearms industry. He wants to re-impose the failed and discredited Clinton Gun Ban. He voted to ban almost all rifle ammunition commonly used for hunting and sport shooting. He has endorsed a complete ban on handgun ownership. He supported local gun bans in Chicago, Washington, D.C., and other cities. He voted for the criminal prosecution of people who use firearms in self-defense in the cities that had local gun bans. He supports gun owner licensing and gun registration. He refused to sign a friend-of-the-court Brief in support of individual Second Amendment rights in the Heller case. He opposes Right to Carry laws. (Which is why the Parks CC was simply political) He was a member of the Board of Directors of the Joyce Foundation, the leading source of funds for anti-gun organizations and “research.” He supported a proposal to ban gun stores within 5 miles of a school or park, which would eliminate almost every gun store in America. He voted not to notify gun owners when the state of Illinois did records searches on them. He voted against a measure to lower the Firearms Owners Identification card age minimum from 21 to 18, a measure designed to assist young people in the military. He favors a ban on standard capacity magazines. He supports mandatory micro-stamping. He supports repeal of the Tiahrt Amendment, which prohibits information on gun traces collected by the BATFE from being used in reckless lawsuits against firearm dealers and manufacturers. He supports one-gun-a-month sales restrictions. He supports a ban on inexpensive handguns. He supports a ban on the resale of police issued firearms, even if the money is going to police departments for replacement equipment. If he gets a second term, guns will be in his sights again. Wonder what industry you work in ?
April 21, 201016 yr Frankly, if given my choice, citizens would not own assault weapons. But, then, that's just me. I'm OK with hand guns and rifles/shotgun type things. But, I simply don't see the need for any military type weapons in any citizen's hands. Are you aware that "hand guns and rifles/shotgun type things" are nearly identical to military type weapons? The only difference is that some military weapons are fully automatic (which is illegal without a special permit), and will hold more rounds in some cases. Oh, and they look different. Shotguns and handguns are the same for the most part. The basic difference in a M16 and a .223 hunting rifle is the appearance. Shouldn't I be able to buy a gun that I like the looks of? I'm one of the meanest looking people around and at 6' 4" 290 pounds, have been told on several occasions that my looks are quite intimidating. Someone would have to be in dire circumstances before I would harm another human. I like and own assault weapons because I like them, not because I yearn to shoot people.
April 21, 201016 yr Author Wonder what industry you work in ?Well, duh. :lol: I thought everyone knew that.
April 21, 201016 yr Author He is so anti-gun, yet he would bow to politcal pressure to allow them to be carried in American parks, but he would not bow to political pressure to not pass a health care bill. So he is more pro-health care than he is anti-gun. Silly scaredy-cat stuff. Who says scaredy-cat these days? :lol: It's really simple, ace. It's all about politics......Chicago style.

But, I simply don't see the need for any military type weapons in any citizen's hands. Respectfully, due to your opinion, I would not want you representing me. Although with Obama, there are many reasons for my lack of faith in him as a leader beside the gun issue.

It's extremely expensive and a nightmare of government red tape to get licensed to do so.

They are trying to streamline government so they are going to do both with one visit. So, since we've already had gun bans, and not long ago (think Clinton), you're telling me it's impossible to happen again? :lol:
April 21, 201016 yr Author Respectfully, due to your opinion, I would not want you representing me. Although with Obama, there are many reasons for my lack of faith in him as a leader beside the gun issue.Problem 94 is I think RM, like many, is judging an assault weapon by the looks of the rifle. As you well know, they're no worse than your average hunting rifle and in many cases the hunting rifle is more powerful. It's not her fault though, the left did a heck of a campaign back during the Clinton administration to scare as many people as they could.

But, I simply don't see the need for any military type weapons in any citizen's hands. Here is a very good video on the subject of 'assault weapons'. The creator indicates fully automatic are not available to the public. The video was shot in California and that is true there. But most states allow ownership of fully automatic. They just tax them higher and regulate them more stringently. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_the_United_States_(by_state)

I have four "Assault" weapons, but none of them have the distance or impact of any of my "hunting" rifles.
