And if it the National guard cocking that M2, what then ?

Assault Weapon=any firearm that is legal to own today, for which the liberal wants to make illegal tomorrow.

Show me one link and sorry Stormfront or Breitfart doesn't count.
What do you think it means when he makes statements like "If congress won't act, I will" ? I think it's pretty clear what he's insinuating, and if he does, that's when the criminal will be impeached and removed from office, finally.

I wish.

Problem is, he's disobeyed the constitution countless times, has broken many international laws many times over, has failed to deliver on a single promise and yet the American people still have not become angry enough to do anything about it. They're all either too comfortable being asleep and taken care of or they're too afraid to speak out because others will ridicule them or call them extremists/terrorists.

If anything was going to happen, it would have years ago and would have happened under Bush. The fact that it didn't and it still isn't has made me lose all hope in the American public doing anything for themselves or others.


------------
Everyone seems to think that the taking of firearms will be the straw that broke the camels back, but I don't see it that way. The media will find some way to twist it into a "proud American" thing the same way they did with the wars while the government threatens dissent, either by false fear or violence, leaving the tough gun owners handing away their freedoms.

Maybe everyone will think I'm being too cynical, and a few years ago I would probably agree, but I've been aware long enough to see the pattern. It's not going to change until it's too late and this country goes from day to night.

I think this is an important question.

Thanks
What weapons do you need to have a "fighting chance", assault weapons may not be enough, may need some mortars, rocket launchers, 50 calibre machine guns, tanks, F15's thrown in there, wouldn't want to make it too easy on the government when they come for you.

Brazil proposed gun ban in 2005. Media reported 80% in favor. Ban was rejected by 65%.
Media does their best to sway public opinion instead of reporting it..thus they become a propaganda machine much like the US news media turned paropaganda machine for Obama.



http://www.commondreams.org/headlines05/1023-05.htm
a July poll showed almost 80% were in favor of the ban,

[LEFT]65 percent voted no and 35 percent yes.

This post shows the total ignorance of the subject and exactly how people's emotions are fueling this debate.

The AR-15 fires the .223 Remington cartridge. An example of a cartridge used for hunting would be a .30-06.

Wow, it's time to put the boots on. It's getting deep in here. Perhaps you would be better off in staying in the land down under.

No, the shooter has blood on his hands, his mother as well. My weapons are kept in a safe and are safe at all times. If the kid was seeing a shrink and the shrink didn't act upon this delusional kid, he has blood on his hands.
So all the victims of illegals as many as 12 a day, who owns that?
