Although, judging from some of the other threads here, many members of this forum would support ANY gun control as long as it doesn't ban their favorite deer gun.
I fear our days are numbered Rugerniner.
Thanks for the post.
1) She can still own and carry guns.
2) Her friends can still own and carry guns.
The hypocrisy, ignorance, and naive blindness of the un control lobby makes me ill.
voted their party and elected this guy.

CRAP! There are no dangeroous weapons, there are only dangerous men! And no amount of anti-gun laws will stop them short of force.
I know it's a long winded way to say I agree with you but it seems like we're preaching to the choir, and about 70% of the choir is in the vestibul shooting craps! All we gun owners have to hang together or as one of the founding fathers said (I think Franklin?) "We shall most assuredly hang individualy."

A CALL TO ARMS!!
It would be our one and only chance to have it Reversed.

Maybe we all could move to a free state and just secede from the Union.

sounds like this:
you have to remain un-armed,
you have to turn in all of your firearms if you do not
surrender your firearms,you will be confined,
you will lose your house,your property,
and you will have to surrender all of your bank funds to pay the national defeceit.
what are they gonna try to ban next?
SUBJECT:2004 GUN BAN PART III

1st Session
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the `Assault Weapons Ban and Law Enforcement Protection Act of 2004'.
`(A) The following copies or duplicates thereof:
1 RUBBER BAND GUN (COULD CAUSE EYE DAMAGE)
2 SLINGSHOT (MAY BE USED IN A VIOLENT ASSAULT)

The gun grabbing commies are painting with an extremely wide brush here. Sounds to me like they can decide the legality of any firearm after they have broken down your front door, shot your dog and turned your house upside down!
The part that also concerns me is, usually threads such as this one get little response from this crowd. So as it reaches the 4th page in record time,,,the content of the new gun ban doesn't concern GB posters or America in general.

I think your jumping to conclulsions thinking that members here believe "the content of the new gun ban doesn't concern GB posters or America in general" ... Do you want everyone to rant, rave and get worked up into a raving frenzy? Something that is only proposed by the very people we have known all along spew this type of garbage?

This bill even bans semi-auto shotguns.[:(!]
`(H) A semiautomatic shotgun that has--
`(i) a folding or telescoping stock;
`(ii) a pistol grip;
`(iii) the ability to accept a detachable magazine; or
`(iv) a fixed magazine capacity of more than 5 rounds.
`(I) A shotgun with a revolving cylinder.
This is nothing new - its as it was written in '94 ... but I am suprised that pump shotguns wern't added to this "STRENGTHENED" version as many (if not most) military and LEO shotguns are pumps ... [:0]

If this Bill went Through there would be Only One Solution.
A CALL TO ARMS!!
It would be our one and only chance to have it Reversed.If this bill goes through, its already too late ... however there is only so much one can do until bills such as this come up for a vote ... ranting and raving and making a "Call to Arms" wont help ... that just makes us sound like far right extreamists to people outside of our little world here on GB ... hammer people to contact their Senators and Representivies to vote aginst it ... contact the Celebs in "Hollywood" Let them know how you feel about their position on gun control as well as other media figures ... a lot can be done without sounding like a right wing paranoid delousionist ... which the media can have a field day with ...
Just my humble opinion ...

You can talk yourself blue in the face to all the gun owners and hunters out there about the new gun bans, gun grabs, and anti-gun candidates and the idiots will still support ban and grabs and vote for gun controll candidates simply because it's their union's endorsed and/or political party's bill or candidate.Yep, thats about right [V]

How is that different from a sniper rifle?
... although it may hurt them, we have to make them think!

What more do you want? Want to hear me threaten and bluster and rant about the inequities? That's preaching to the choir.
A lot of us won't respond to threads like this because we are busy doing something constructive about it. It doesn't mean we are ambivilent about the issue.

Sometimes there is just no reason to respond, just act upon it.

I'm well aware of whats at stake ... however if the "average citizen" perceives you (you, me, or anyone else for that matter) in the shooting community as a "right wing paranoid delusionist" ... "a gun nut" or a "conspiracy theorist" then have we not lost more ground than we have gained?

Not if we bring them over to our side through education and the need to retain our "God Given Rights" guaranteed by the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
If that bill passes we would never have the means and ways to protect ourselves from a Tyrannical Government, which is why the Second Amendment was implemented.
I guess when it comes down to it, it will be the few protecting the masses, because the masses are afraid of losing their Life, Family, Home and other material things that are more important to them than Freedom.

As long as we retain our rights through informed voting I don't think a "Call to Arms" will ever happen. It's the fact that these rights remain intact that will prevent tyranny from happening.
Although I am prepared, I have no reason to believe that what I have will ever be needed. But the fact that I and others like me are prepared is what makes this possible.
I am more worried about Civil Unrest through Economics and Riots then Government Tyranny.
