Here is a new AWB proposal to chew on. (Introduced Jun 12, 2008)
(quote)
(a) RESTRICTION- Section 922 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by adding after subsection (u) the following:
`(v)(1) It shall be unlawful for a person to manufacture, transfer, or possess a semiautomatic assault weapon.

I see there is some grandfathering.
Not the point at this time.

It isn't so much that I fear this will go anywhere in an election year, but what might be more interesting to note, is that it was introduced by a REPUBLICAN.
And, that ALL THREE cosponsors "so far" are REPUBLICANS.
Hmmmmm...........just a thought, isn't McAmnesty a Republican too?

Just goes to show you, there is no difference between the the neocons and the socialist dems. They all want to disarm America so they can control us before they declare North America a union.
I guess that pretty much outlaws the M1 rifle.
After re-reading that, you are right. The only hope would be that it is considered and antique since it is on the curio and relic list.

The term "Neo-COnservative" was created by socially liberal democratianss who jumped the democratian boat when they realized the party was too soft on national security. Joe Lieberman is your typical Neo-Con. He's as far left as they com except on national security issues.
Neo-Cons are not Reagan Republicans.
Mark Kirk is a Chicago Republican from a affluent (rich) district. He's pandering for the Chicago vote even though this is a kiss of death for many many other Congressmen.

quote:GOP slip: "if we see Obama there's a shoot-on-sight order."
Interviewed on the Don Wade & Roma in the Morning show Wednesday, Rep. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) said that he supports a policy "where if we see Obama there's a shoot-on-sight order."
His office didn't immediately return a call and he clearly, given the context of the conversation, meant to refer to Osama bin Laden.
Listen here.
UPDATE: Kirk apologizes: "On Wednesday, I misspoke when talking with a local Chicago radio program regarding the current presidential campaign of Senator Barack Obama as well as the status of our anti-terrorism efforts against Osama Bin Laden. During the course of this conversation, I mistakenly referred to 'Osama' as 'Obama. After being alerted to my mistake, I apologized to Senator Obama for my misstatement and will take extra care to make sure I do not make such a mistake again."
No doubt he will.
here is why they don't want you armed with a formidable weapon!
