It will never get through the house. BHO could have done a lot more through executive order. Looks to me like he wanted to but was asked to back off by rest of the Dems that have to worry about getting reelected in two years.

I think that was the NY state law. I could be wrong because I have a life and can't read ALL the bills.Quote:

As a libertarian ( small "L" ) I'd prefer to see an effort to plug the holes in the judicial system first, rather than a top down solution from the ineffective feds who can't win a war on drugs, immigration, or terror, but insist they are the only ones who can.
Oh BTW serious business is that way >>>>

Actually, my governor signed the bill yesterday. My rifle doesn't qualify as an assault rifle but the clips, en-blocks, are now illegal. Luckily, I ordered 20 and got them shipped before the law was signed :pQuote:

Haha, so the guy I ordered magazines from sent like 50 of them, not 20...I didn't even count them he sent so many. He must have known I was 'getting them while I could'.

Military-style assault weapon according to new rules.....same gun with new magazine and scope.

Does not classify as a "military style assault rifle" due to bolt on parts. Magazine is fixed in place, bayonet lug is sheared off (since we have a mass killing bayonet problem), and the flash hider is now a compensator.

Also not an "assault rifle"...

If you paint it black does it magically become an assault rifle? (some guns have been known to do that in california)Quote:

To get around that, California gun resident came up with these funny looking stocks. Detachable magazine is another "military-style" item so those 30rd mags are fixed in place. You need a little key tool called a bullet button to remove them.Quote:

Why do you think pistol grips are more dangerous than 30 round magazines? In fact, why are pistol grips dangerous at all?Quote:

I always go back to the car parallel. Granted, it's not a constitutional right to own and operate a car, but in any state I've lived in there's been more paperwork, more process, and generally more controls in place for something so benign as an automobile than to own and operate a firearm. As a second amendment supporting, firearm-owning citizen, I still think that's ridiculous. There should be at least the same level of controls on gun ownership as there are on automobile ownership. I don't want to hear about more people dying in automobile related incidents every year; the purpose of a car is not to take life...the purpose of a firearm is to take life, whether you're using the hunter excuse, the home defense excuse, or the protection from the ebil guvment excuse. And if all you do (like me) is put holes in paper with your firearms, invoking the second amendment is just begging the question anyway.
Prescident shows that anything that is already owned will be grandfathered a crossed any new restrictions.Quote:

Knowing some of the people that live around me in Alaska. People would die, and not just a few. =\
You don't have to go through any of the paperwork crap to own a car. You only need to obey that stuff if you want to operate it on public roads. If you want to create a licencing and registration scheme to allow me to shoot my guns in public places legally then go for it.Quote:
