HR 1022Follow

It seems that the Dems are at it again. Bush at least had the decency to let us keep our guns:

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c110:H.R.1022:

Again, they're wanting background checks, registration of ALL firearms, and making it illegal to own these weapons.

Obviously this is unconstitutional, as it infringes on the Second Amendment. It bothers me that so many people willingly continue to vote for people that have, and will continue to, take their rights away, on both sides of the "isle". Where did it all go wrong? Haven't they learned that those who would gain their weapons by illegal means anyway, aren't affected by laws like this?

My only feeling on the bill itself is this:

IF it passes, I dare them to take my weapons, because I know how to use them, and will, to defend my rights.

When I see you on the news shot full of holes, I will laugh at your stupid ***.

The Second Amendment doesn't give you the right own a firearm for ***** and giggles. It allows you to own a rifle to protect Yourself (and the royal We, the People) from a Gov. that has grown to large.

You do remember that whole thing with Britain right?

Nice of them to exempt those bolt-action assault rifles

I only have one question for the OP:

Why the fUck would you need an assault weapon?

Oh, Well..that explains that then...carry on.

So you'll have to do some extra work to keep your guns, boo frikkin hoo, it's not the end of the world.

Personally, I'm all for gun control. The less guns out there the less likely I am to get shot at work. Yeah, I know, "guns don't kill people, people kill people", but people are less likely to kill me with a gun if there are less out there.

Just do the damn paperworks and background checks and stop complaining.

I think all handguns should be banned. There is absolutely no need to own a handgun.

I think all automatic weapons should be banned. You don't hunt with an automatic weapon.

I think you should be able to load a maximum of 4 bullets into a gun and removable clips should be banned. If you can't hit an animal with 4 shots you're not going to hit it with 8 (it'll already be long gone). There is no practical reason to have the ability to fire a weapon more than 4 times without stopping to reload.

You should be allowed to own a maximum of 3 hunting rifles, all of which must be different calibres. I would say 1 but there is a need for different type rifles depending on what you are hunting.

You should have to have a licence proving you are both old enough and have taken a course in firearms safety before you are allowed to purchase a gun.

All guns should be sold with mandatory trigger locks. Rifles should have mechanical timers that put the weapon into safe mode automatically 10 minutes (or some other amount of time) after the safety is removed. It should be illegal for a weapon to be out of your hands while the safety is dissengaged.

ANY violent criminal record and you are banned from EVER owning/using/holding a weapon.

I'm all for hunting, nothing wrong with it. Hunting doesn't require a handgun, automatic rifle, lots of bullets. What it does require is safety knowledge and strict rules.

If they aren't going to do most of the above then they shouldn't do anything. Not being able to own an assault rifle isn't a threat to your freedom.

You stupid fUcking bastards.

Obviously you need those in case you're attacked by a wendigo.

You shouldn't link to the bill if you're not actually going to read it. It strictly discusses assault weapons, which should absolutely be illegal to own. As should handguns which it doesn't address at all.


Obviously this is unconstitutional, as it infringes on the Second Amendment.

You should link the constitution, too since you seem to like linking things you don't understand. The Second Amendment, even as ludicrously interpreted as it has been by courts paid off by the NRA could never, ever, be construed to include private citizens owning assault rifles.


It bothers me that so many people willingly continue to vote for people that have, and will continue to, take their rights away, on both sides of the "isle". Where did it all go wrong? Haven't they learned that those who would gain their weapons by illegal means anyway, aren't affected by laws like this?


Oh but they are, that's the point. Being able to arrest and convict anyone found with an assault rifle would be very useful. Not to mention the vastly lower number of said weapons floating around in circulation in general would make it more difficult for someone to obtain one illegally.


My only feeling on the bill itself is this:

IF it passes, I dare them to take my weapons, because I know how to use them, and will, to defend my rights.


1. Nothing in this bill mentions taking anyone's existing weapons.

2. You'd hand them over and say 'yes sir, here you go sir.' Then whine about it like a little *****.

I don't see the registering of firearms as against the constitution. The 2nd Amendment only allows you to keep bear arms mounted on your walls, not for guns.

Duh

And the IV, V, VI VIII Amendments don't require recitation of Miranda rights when someone is taken into custody, yet the the US Supreme Court that is so enthralled by the NRA decided that failure to do so is a breach of our civil rights.

What the Friggin' hell is the matter with you people that you are so afraid of guns?

Firearm related deaths- 11,250
Alcohol related deaths- 20,687
Suicide- 31,484
Vehicular related deaths- 46,933

Don't be afraid of guns, be afraid of stupid people.
