THE MOST SWEEPING GUN BAN EVER INTRODUCED IN CONGRESS;
McCarthy Bill Bans Millions More Guns Than The Clinton Gun Ban
On Feb. 14, 2007, Representative Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.) introduced H.R. 1022, a bill with the stated purpose, "to reauthorize the assault weapons ban, and for other purposes."
McCarthy's verbiage warrants explanation. Presumably, what she means by "assault weapons ban" is the Clinton Gun Ban of 1994. Congress allowed the ban to expire in 2004 for multiple reasons, including the fact that federal, state and local law enforcement agency studies showed that guns affected by the ban had been used in only a small percentage of crime, before and after the ban was imposed.
With the nation's murder rate 43% lower than in 1991, and the re-legalized guns still used in only a small percentage of crime, reauthorizing the Clinton Gun Ban would be objectionable enough. But McCarthy's "other purposes" would make matters even worse. H.R. 1022 would ban every gun banned by the Clinton ban, plus millions more guns, including:
. Every gun made to comply with the Clinton ban. (The Clinton ban dictated the kinds of grips, stocks and attachments new guns could have. Manufacturers modified new guns to the Clinton requirements. H.R. 1022 would ban the modified guns too.)
. Guns exempted by the Clinton ban. (Ruger Mini-14s and -30s and Ranch Rifles; .30 cal. carbines; and fixed-magazine, semi-automatic, center-fire rifles that hold more than 10 rounds.)
. All semi-automatic shotguns. (E.g., Remington, Winchester, Beretta and Benelli, used for hunting, sport shooting, and self-defense. H.R. 1022 would ban them because they have "any characteristic that can function as a grip," and would also ban their main component, called the "receiver.")
. All detachable-magazine semi-automatic rifles-including, for example, the ubiquitous Ruger 10/22 .22 rimfire-because they have "any characteristic that can function as a grip."
. Target shooting rifles. (E.g., the three centerfire rifles most popular for marksmanship competitions: the Colt AR-15, the Springfield M1A and the M1 "Garand.")
. Any semi-automatic shotgun or rifle an Attorney General one day claims isn't "sporting," even though the constitutions of the U.S. and 44 states, and the laws of all 50 states, recognize the right to use guns for defense.
. 65 named guns (the Clinton law banned 19 by name); semi-auto fixed-magazine pistols of over 10 rounds capacity; and frames, receivers and parts used to repair or refurbish guns.
H.R. 1022 would also ban the importation of magazines exempted by the Clinton ban, ban the sale of a legally-owned "assault weapon" with a magazine of over 10 rounds capacity, and begin backdoor registration of guns, by requiring private sales of banned guns, frames, receivers and parts to be conducted through licensed dealers. Finally, whereas the Clinton Gun Ban was imposed for a 10-year trial period, H.R. 1022 would be a permanent ban.
Please be sure to contact your U.S. Representative and urge him or her to oppose
H.R. 1022!

Well, I've started already a couple of hours ago a threat about that the "
NRA trains members to attack enemies without mercy".
Because they are fighting for a contitutional right. Good for them.
This is very informative. Please take a few minutes to watch it.

You're thinking of joining a paramilitary squad?
Farmerdude; you've asked on 2 threads now what those weapons pictured were
and I think I can help you out. If you look closely at the 3 pictures, you'll see all but the 4rth gun on the first, and the fourth gun on the second table appear to be versions of the same gun
the one with the spoof advertising in Jackie Brown: "If you absolutely, positively, have to kill every last muthaf*cka in the room; AK-47
there's no substitute.
The "number 4's" appear to be of the AR-15/M-16 variety to this untrained eye. What they all have in common is they're all outclassed by the standard 30.06 semi-automatic "Deer Rifle" that's been sold for generations. Oh, and they're scary looking. Yes, they can be converted to Fully automatic, but so too can many deer rifles
and there's plenty of before and aftermarket accessories to make the "Deer Rifle" look every bit as "scary.
Legislating "scary looking" is a play on ignorance to circumvent the 2nd Amendment
or in cases like Senator Feinstein a reflection of genuine ignorance. While googling photos I came across one where that fool is posing with an AK, breach closed, finger on the trigger. Dumb luck she didn't kill somebody. Your average 6 year old here in Wisconsin would know better
and I'd like to think the poser cops behind her would have stopped her
but they didn't.
When I was a kid; I had a Charter Arms Explorer II .22 Kit that fit in a small rectangular case that included interchangeable barrels of different lengths, a detachable Stock, removable scope, and several clips including a 25 shot banana clip. It was very "scary looking" when assembled
but no more powerful than your average rabbit gun
and less accurate than most. I hate agreeing with CJ
but he happens to be right.
And compare.
For all of you gun control types - what are the differences? What are the similarities?
Anybody wanna take a stab at it?
