This as much as you have to read................


Mrs. FEINSTEIN (for herself, Mr. WARNER, Mr. SCHUMER, Mr. DEWINE, Ms. MIKULSKI, Mr. DURBIN, TURBAN Mrs. BOXER, Mrs. CLINTON, Mr. LEVIN, Mr. DODD, and Mr. REED) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


A BILL
To reinstate the Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act.


Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the `Assault Weapons Ban Reauthorization Act of 2005'.

SEC. 2. RESTRICTION ON MANUFACTURE, TRANSFER, AND POSSESSION OF CERTAIN SEMIAUTOMATIC ASSAULT WEAPONS.

(a) RESTRICTION- Section 922 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by adding after subsection (u) the following:

`(v)(1) It shall be unlawful for a person to manufacture, transfer, or possess a semiautomatic assault weapon




G-Damn, gun-grabbing Assholes will not rest until every American is disarmed!

How the F do they justify this, while proclaiming allegiance to our Constitution?

Don't get this bill confused with the discussion that was started in the spring of 2004.  They tried to get discussion started in the spring of 2004 to get a bill started and to try to get it passed before the Assault Weapons Ban expired in Sept. of 2004, remember?  I guess this is a new bill that was proposed last spring and is just now getting consideration.  ARKAR

Why dont these dumbasses go after / spend the money on the bad guys and irresponsible gun owners  rather than slapping all the resonsible gun owners with an outright ban.

That AR definition makes my Ruko 22cal m16 lookalike a prohibited weapon - it is semi auto, has a telescoping stock and a pistol grip.

Please allow me to apologize for my do-gooder gone wild Senator (DeWine). He has morphed froma good guy to an absolute dumb-ass the last ten years or so. BUT, he is up for reelection (or not) this year and Ohio is chock-full of voting gun owners. John Mitchell (Ohio) for US Senate, Spread the word, keep Washington out of our f**king gun safes.

Everyone of those names should have a link available to there mail.  Just as many of us E-mailed Mike Cox in Michigan thanking him for his MG and silencer law ruling.  
(Yes there legal here now)We should all be berating there E-mail for there unconstitutional actions.  Filling there mail with hate mail and sending a message at the polls is the only way to change how these people are going to act.

Majority rules

But in the case of Presidential elections, it is the electoral college. If it weren't for the electoral college Al-F-ing-Gore would have been President in 2000.


No surprise Dem's are trying to get the electoral college reversed, and popular vote installed to elect a President. (One of many stories on this)

Won't happen. But if it did, a couple of big metropolitan areas would elect a President for us (NYC, LA, Chicago, Houston, Philly...............)

all but Houston heavily Democrat, but with Hispanic voters thats is changing too.

There use to be some concept of State Sovereignty. What works in Cali and NYC doesnt work everywhere else yet the rest of the nation must bow under the rules put forward by Cali representation.

Something is very wrong with the math here. One man one vote and the electorate system have serious flaws. Both have the means to defeat State Sovereignty.

Defend the civil rights and freedom of the people
Make money for the people
Wage war on behalf of the people
That is the role of the federal Gov't

2008 is going to be a year full of uncertainty for us.

How many here really think Hitlary Klinton has the chance?
I do, especially when (s)he becomes the Dem party candidate and wins it easily. Good gawd, we're screwed.
Imagine this, Hitlary president and Billybob Klinton appointed attorney gerneral! The Oval Office, a little shop of horrors...the savage Muslims and freedom-haters throughout Europe, Canada and Latin America are rejoicing as America's dupes have returned to power.  
Somebody shoot me...

I apologize if all this babbling rattled someone's cage and ruined their weekend, but it just doesn't seem impossible to me. I'd say odds still are against this scenario.

It is very important that our guys in congress don't lose out this November. No major turnovers in congress this year would give us some insurance against a disaster in 2008 and the consequences thereafter. What has happened to Tom DeLay seems a very bad omen to me.

(a) STUDY- The Attorney General shall investigate and study the effect of this Act and the amendments made by this Act, and in particular shall determine their impact, if any, on violent and drug trafficking crime. The study shall be conducted over a period of 18 months, commencing 12 months after the date of enactment of this Act.

(b) REPORT- Not later than 30 months after the date of enactment of this Act, the Attorney General shall prepare and submit to the Congress a report setting forth in detail the findings and determinations made in the study under subsection (a).

Am wrong or did they not do this last time with the original AWB and found it had no affect on crime ? I guess there was some massive crime wave, we all missed, of people using bayonets, flash supressors and grenade launchers to commit crimes. Wow I must have missed that.
Guess I'll be saving up some money to buy some additional toys in the event this unconstitutional crap actually passes.

Just remember that the leftists will introduce a very extreme bill in the hopes of getting a compromise bill which will be considered "reasonable gun control".

To keep this from happening within the confines of the system you need to oust Feinstein, Boxer and Schumer. Odds of this happening are slim slim slim. Politicians will not introduce bills if they think it will cost them or party members their jobs. As long as they can attempt to undermine the constitution with impudence and without fear of reprisal from the voters there is no deterrent.

The other method is to make it very clear through the decisive collective effort of every gun owner, where it is understood clearly and without question that any attempt at gun grabbing will be met with extreme hostility.

Not 10 people locked up in a compound either. You need several million assembled, armed  and prepared to act in the name of the constitution

How many of those millions would leave the area without the right to bear arms because of harmful intent towards fellow americans, the government, and police?  THis isn't as simple as we all would like it to be because the lefties are stubborn bastards as usual.  The confederacy was composed of extreme leftists.  Why don't we send a letter to Mrs. Finestein and ask her how many slaves she owns?  THat would surely make her happy.

But what really needs to happen is one or more of these (do they qualify as people?) to get kidnapped and have some form of violence used against them that is nothing like a firearm.  Then their view might be changed and others will follow.  After all, lefties are like sheep, one could walk off a cliff, to fall to its death, and the others would follow because "hey, he did it, why not?"

The fact of the matter is, the lefties have always been the source of conflict in America.  If they didn't exist then equal rights would be more equal, we would all have a better economy, guns wouldn't be continually pressured out of existence, and everyone would be happier.

And to prove that guns don't cause crime.  Look at Israel, how many Israeli vs. Israeli gunfights are there?  That's right, none.  Every single Israeli over the age of 18 has a gun and their only source of violence is from the Palestinians.  If guns caused crime then Israel wouldn't have lasted as long as it has.  It's people like Clinton and Finestein who cause crime.  They motivate others with opposite views to take up all their might against them because the left has all the poor voting for them; calling for a stronger united front on the right.  The left continually boycotts stores and the government, causing the economy to drop and then they have the nerve to turn around and blame it on the government if it's republican.  They have shown so much corruption in their history that any movement from them should be viewed from the same perspective as a political movement from some Hitlerites.  In fact, i'd sooner support the damn skinheads than Hillary Rod[in the]ham Clinton.  What a bitch.  Excuse me for the language and attitude but I cant stand that woman.

We don't need to be a million people assembled and armed. We simply need to demonstrate IN ADVANCE that we will not relinquish our weapons until they are pulled from our dead hands. I would be willing to start a movement which could be a focal point for those willing to ascertain their position on this matter. If millions of Americans avow to resist to the end, and we publicize this fact, it would have a huge impact. First, it would force a serious discussion of the merits of gun control (or lack thereof). It would be a strong platform for proving what we have know all along, that guns don't kill people, people do, and more importantly it's the people with illegal guns and not the law abiding citizen with legal guns. I truly believe that if everyone understood that the places with the least gun control experience the least crime and vice-versa, it would be a no brainer. We have enough data at this point to make this case clearly.

I think the NRA has been very slack in its efforts of late. With all that money they should promote a national debate on network TV on the merits of an armed citizenry. The problem is we only see sound bites from both sides of the argument and the voters are caught in the middle not knowing what to believe.

We need to make a move before it's too late.

Some of you have replied that if the liberals make it into high office.......you would just go out and quickly buy your Ar's.

But keep in mind.....There is a strong push in several states to band the Possession or ownership of weapons considered legal now -- like your RRA AR15's

When this happens " CONFISCATION" will be the play of the day.

Citizens will be given certains dates to turn over all the prohibited weapons or else.......... !!  

Ammo sales will be strictly controlled by the Fed.s.......

We are headed for some dangerous times............... and we had better not have our heads up our asses when the time comes or we will be at the mercy of the criminal element.

This is outrageous.... the gun-grabbing liberals......

I just contacted my state representative via email and sent him the following message. I probably left a few things out, but I hope he gets the picture..... I would suggest that you contact your local legislators and let them know where you stand on this issue.... They need to see that their constituents are not a bunch of unorganized sheep and we have a voice, and will not be denied as we were before in 1994.....

MESSAGE--->

I am writing you this evening, to inform you that as one of your constituents, Lifetime member of the NRA and supporter of NRA-ILA, that I, in no way shape or form support bill s.620 introduced by Dianne Fienstien of California in regards to an outright ban or restrictive regulation of "assault type weapons" (as they are erroneously described). I respectively request that you voice my, and tens/hundreds of thousands of other law abiding citizens opinions in regards to this proposed piece of legislation. This is an affront to all law-abiding citizenry, perpetrated by a "few" that are mis-informed and ill-guided, and would seek to revoke or restrict my second amendment rights, and deny "recreational shooting" as a sport.

Thank you, I plan to further contact you in regards to this proposed legislation to seek your position on this. Alternatively, my telephone number is included as part of my contact information if you feel the need or desire to speak with me further on this subject.

Thank you for your time and I hope that we stand on the same side of the fence on this issue.

109th CONGRESS
1st Session

S. 620

To reinstate the Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act.

IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

March 14, 2005

Mrs. FEINSTEIN (for herself, Mr. WARNER, Mr. SCHUMER, Mr. DEWINE, Ms. MIKULSKI, Mr. DURBIN, Mrs. BOXER, Mrs. CLINTON, Mr. LEVIN, Mr. DODD, and Mr. REED) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary

A BILL

To reinstate the Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act.

     Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

     This Act may be cited as the `Assault Weapons Ban Reauthorization Act of 2005'.

SEC. 2. RESTRICTION ON MANUFACTURE, TRANSFER, AND POSSESSION OF CERTAIN SEMIAUTOMATIC ASSAULT WEAPONS.

     (a) RESTRICTION- Section 922 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by adding after subsection (u) the following:

     `(v)(1) It shall be unlawful for a person to manufacture, transfer, or possess a semiautomatic assault weapon.

     `(2) Paragraph (1) shall not apply to the possession or transfer of any semiautomatic assault weapon otherwise lawfully possessed under Federal law on the date of the enactment of this subsection.

     `(3) Paragraph (1) shall not apply to--

           `(A) any of the firearms, or replicas or duplicates of the firearms, specified in Appendix A to this section, as such firearms were manufactured on October 1, 1993;

           `(B) any firearm that--

                 `(i) is manually operated by bolt, pump, lever, or slide action;

                 `(ii) has been rendered permanently inoperable; or

By definition, isn't "semi-automatic assault weapon" an oxymoron?
