Automatic weapons are only legal in a few states and can cost $20K +.
You also need a Federal tax stamp of $200 per item. The process take approx four months with paperwork. Even if the BATF oks it...your local Police Chief (whoever is head in command) must sign off on it.
Why do people feel a need to regulate things that they don't know anything about? I mean, I know very little about high heel shoes. I have a vague idea that they are very bad for the feet and ankles, but not much knowledge beyond that.
I wouldn't undertake to legislate a ban on high heels, or even comment on it if somebody threw up a 'ban high heels' thread.
Hopefully they'll ban Drug use and distribution also in the bill.
Someone should have asked the gloating Feinstein that. She was looking so thrilled this morning -- just so eager to exploit a tragedy for her own agenda. She had absolutely no interest whatsoever in discussing the mental illness aspect.
How is Feinstein and her jack-booted thugs going to enforce the gun bans when they couldn't do a thing to stop drug trafficking? Does she intend to have doors of people kicked in? Millions of people hauled off to prison when they committed no violent crime? Or how about highway checkpoints? Feinstein hasn't stopped tons of drugs from being shipped over an international border -- what's she going to do about the transport of guns with drugs?
Roy, I wrote a post way up thread before you jumped in saying that perhaps if they were super expensive, his mother may not have been able to buy them either.
I realize he stole the guns, please try and keep up.
I have read every post in this thread and found few new ideas in it. I read all of them because I think it is now time for me to make a suggestion about stopping things like Friday's massacre.
Ok here goes. Where is one place that anybody knows nobody in the building will have a firearm. Well many businesses don't allow firearms of any kind in them but the laws of the US say that firearms are not allowed in school buildings. I just keep wondering if a sign in the yard may give some fools reason for thought. The sign would say something like, "Firearms are not allowed on these grounds or in the buildings but there is at least one F4 in the office." Now that should be plenty of warning for anybody.
I read that there were 6 women killed by that fool and some of them attempted to talk him into stopping while others flung themselves at him trying to save the lives of their children. What would have happened if that principal had come out of the office with her F4 spitting bullets at the fool? If those teachers who flung themselves at him had been able to fling bullets maybe most of those people would have been alive today and the crud would be dead. He intended to kill himself anyway so I think he was just trying to take as many with him as possible
The Israelis stopped attacks on their commercial air liners by putting armed marshals on them. They stopped the foolish attacks by bombers on their schools by arming their teachers. Any of those women the other day would have been able to squeeze a trigger to save the lives of those kids who they all loved.
We have to stop telling people where the unarmed places are. Let them think that someone in there has a gun on him.
This gun ban crap is not going to stop anything. I am not going to give up my freshly bought piece without a fight.
