**** my AR almost made it, guess I got to take the grenade launcher off .

Thats a bummer too, I was all set to rob a bank with it... just like you know... always happens.

Kidding about the AR (well and robbing the bank)... I don't have one... of course thats about to change. Though the SL8 actually might make it past the ban, which sure would make my choice a lot easier (if it was all that was available).

We need a good 'ol fashion 'come to Jesus' style meeting where we let politicians know that their job is over if they pass this kind of legislation. After all, Clinton suggests that 20 Democrat House and Senate seats were lost due to support of the 1994 ban. Are our current Dumbocrats honestly stupid enough to support another ban of this type and believe that we won't vote them out of office on greased rails?

I would hope that even politicians have more sense than this, especially considering that the guns involved in the ban are NOT used in crime to any measurable and meaningful extent. If we let morons ban these guns which serve no measurable purpose, then imagine what they can do when they go after 'sniper rifles' capable of 0.5" shot groups at 100 yards... Hello, hunting rifle ban...

To use a popular term these days, the Democrats "chickens are going to gome home to roost." They pull this stuff and **** doesn't get better people are going to be mad. I'm starting to think the only way to solidly destroy the democrats for a good chunk of time is give them control. 16 or 20 years of democrats "do what I say and we will make your life better" will come to a shaterring screetch when people realize it just doesn't work that way.

Meanwhile they will come begging for the "life is already good, if you want it better get a job" of the conservatives

With the Democrats current agenda, it is no wonder why they abhor the Second Amendment.
