Back with Clinton they always kept to the "only 19 specific types" will be banned.

They twisted and knew to not expose the entire scope of their bill so they could get approval easier.

So this is the standard method of operation of the anti's, find a few buzz words and repeat them over and over while carefully choosing pieces of their legislation to promote to the public and guard the dirty details in their legislation.

This sounds like ObamaCare.

A regular gun should serve just right for protection as it will do the job just the same. Where will this stop? What's next, miniature nuclear bombs for everyone to make the NRA happy?
I own 2 of them and until recently 3.. is that a problem? I can hunt with them as well as i can hunt with my Winchester 30-30 which is very similar ballisticly. I sold the 3rd one in a private sale and that guys didn't have to pass any back ground check at all.

He was dark skinned for a white man and need a shower and shave bad... if you see him look out!

Biden created Clintons ban, which didn't stop importing AK's and other guns, but it did change 10 parts of these guns and made a mess of understanding what was legal from what was not. The best thing about that ban was it had a sunset date built in thankfully.

They won't make that same mistake again I fear.

I Think..... I said i think, what the deal with obama is, will be he sells us out to the UN, and by pass the senate and congress with Hillary at the helm going thru the state dept. A hunch i have and I can't prove it, but we will see..

In this way he can not tell a lie, and can say he has done nothing, which i would agree with, as he has done nothing now for 3 years almost 4.

But he would not exaclty be in the direct line of fire so to speak and so no one could say he caused this in such a way as to loose votes.

As i see it Obama must go and Holder with him, Hilliary too....

If he does propose a ban, he would be a fool to try to run it through as another executive order. If he does, he can kiss the election good-bye. If he runs it through the house and senate, it will fail. Any senator or congressman who votes in favor of a ban could also kiss their seat good-bye and they know it.

AK-47s and semi-automatic guns should be banned, and there should be no loopholes for avoiding registering for purchasing a gun.

So don't buy one, no one forces anyone to buy one.

Mercedes Benz cars should be banned, because I don't like them. All expensive, over-priced cars should be banned as a 2000 Chevy Malibu does the same thing the Mercedes does, and both have been used to kill innocent people.
