Fienstein to introduce Assault Weapon Ban

Thanks for the posting John. Making people aware of what is going on early in the process is an important Step #1.

I see the Federal Government is doing exactly like I figured they would.....multiple smaller bills that once the full text is read probably have overlapping coverage on each other. They are going to try to load the system up in hopes of distracting us, the voters. Pretty soon we will be seeing a media blitz attempting to form a type of seperation between "responsible hunters", recreational shooters and "the fanatical gun-nuts with their assault rifles". It's coming.......It's the same playbook they used here in Illinois. But guess what.......

It didn't work here. Another attempt at passing a backdoor gun ban in Illinois failed again today......yes, they called a Sunday session to try and push it through and because of the vocal response by those who oppose the destruction of the 2nd Ammendment the Bill did not even make it out of committee to be put up for a vote. Common people calling, faxing and emailing their Representatives helped the politicians to see that passing these garbage Bills would not bode well when the next election came around.

Because of this, I beg EVERY MEMBER of this forum to take an hour or so of their time and contact EVERY Senator and Representative in your state. Be polite and direct....Tell them you oppose any and all proposed future firearm bans and limitations. Be sure they understand that the 2nd Ammendment had absolutely nothing to do with our right to hunt, or shoot clays or to protect ourselves from criminals. The 2nd Ammendments only purpose is to guarantee the right to keep and bear arms. A right, as it states, that "May not be Infringed". If your Senator or Representative is a known Anti-gun politician, perhaps remind them as to what happened after the 94 ban was enacted.......a massive change of hands in Congress and a whole bunch of unemployed Democrats.

Whatever you choose to say......say it. Every voice counts in this fight and every voice must be used. I know some people prefer to not get involved politically, or don't understand the process, or aren't sure who they need to contact. This is NOT the time to take a wait-and-see approach......This is the time that we ALL need to get involved. The process of contacting your Congressmen (and women) is painless......time consuming sometimes, but painless. If you aren't sure who you should contact send me a PM and I'll help you get the phone number and email addresses you need.

We are winning this fight in Springfield.......now on to Washington!!

No Compromise, No quarter.

I don't think that CNN, MSNBC or FOX has been on my TV for 3 weeks or so. I won't fall for the crap so no sense in watching the BS Liberal Media Blitz I couldn't even tell you what they are all talking about right now... Thank god! haha

On the other hand, talks have been brought up with Supervisors and Management about allowing certain Railroad jobs carry concealed so long they are permit holders. A few of the jobs called "Locals" that service the area businesses go about their day by shifting out business', delivering and picking up goods and products. I myself have been in a situation where a my train was blocking a road crossing and irate citizens have gotten out of their vehicle and approached me with rage...

Unfortunately, we had an individual put his hands on one of my co-workers and the co-worker subdued him, firmly lol.. all on "Rail-cam" from the locomotive and that is what prompted the talks because this is slowly becoming worse as the days go by. I must add that when you step out of your car and onto railroad property, you are trespassing on Federal Railroad property... big no no..

Thanks for the kudos guys......But have you called, emailed, wrote or faxed your Senators or Representatives yet? LoL

I hope I don't sound like a broken record yet on urging everyone to make some phonecalls but after witnessing, over the past week, the power that a large group of people expressing their opinions has on these decisions I want to be sure to start early on D.C.

We only had about a 4 day notice here in Illinois that the Chicagocrats were going to try and shove a Bill through....but because we have a very dedicated group of people watching Springfield like a hawk and a pretty rapid communications network that has been built up through our years of fighting for CCW we were able to put the pressure on the Legislators in a hurry. Out of the HUNDREDS of witness slips that were filed in opposition of these Bills, only 3 were filed in support of them. The only reason politicians think that people support firearms regulations is because the Anti's are the ones that make the most noise. Time for us to make some noise of our own so they realize that MOST Americans simply want to be left alone......period.

So if an 18 year old picks up the "assault rifle" that Uncle Sam handed him and uses it to kill a guy he doesn't know, in a country he can't pronounce, for a cause he doesn't understand it is okay.......but if that same 18 year old picks up his AR at home to protect his loved ones from the criminal kicking the front door in he's a felon?

Screw that.

^^ THIS!! ^^

It is so long their agenda is being completed on both fronts! Keeping control back home and taking control over seas! "NEW WORLD ORDER" Bush said it first...

EDIT: Does anyone have the information on the North Dakota arrest made with a predator drone? :O

I think Jones made some great points here however I agree with you in the thought that he should have kept his cool while doing so. That may have been a "better" representation of our gun culture. Then again he probably wouldn't have gotten a word in edge wise if he would have taken that approach. These jackasses like morgan are pretty good at manipulating and dominating conversations.

***Today I wrote the President Of The United States for the first time in my life. I feel a little better now.

I sent a letter to all of my reps including the President last week but this one was more personal.

I can agree that he did explode a little but I think right now we cannot afford to be passive aggressive and need to be on the offense. We aren't really fighting against the general public anymore... We are fighting the corrupt "leaders" and others in positions of power... Show them that we mean business and are going on the offense.. I give him 2 thumbs up for a job well done lol

I think the tactics that the Gov't are using are defeating ours because they have a larger spread of people willing to believe them without a fight or question. The NRA, GOA, and Gun Owners in General look weak because we haven't made a huge accomplishment against the Gov't in the public's eye. "We the People" need to show that We still have the Power in this country...

Just a little rant I'm done

California School Shooting! Feinstein comments. Just like her to ride the coat tails of an incident to further her agenda. I won't be surprised if we see shotguns added to her list.

The gun control Laws worked again (sarcasm). Might as well make more of them (sarcasm). Obviously having an armed officer patrol the school worked to (sarcasm).

I blame media on all these copy cats. Media gives these yahoos the fame they seek. If they didn't cover names and details, I think less of this would happen. I think they "evil people" are getting ideas from the media.

I am going to stop while I am so heated.

Frank

the article I read last night said that the officer couldn't make it due to snowy roads. WTF! the students and staff were all able to make it for "human target day"!!!!! man this really ticks me off. yes I know I don't have all of the details but come on.

so who is really at fault here? the irresponsible owner of the shotgun who left it unsecured? the officer who didn't make it to work? the police department that didn't cover the absent officers shift? the school for not having metal detectors or checking everyone at the door? the guy who witnessed the kid walking towards the school with a shotgun and called police instead of calling the school to worn them or attempting to stop the shooter?

The answer is (or will be) none of the above. it's the guns fault!

Can either of you two verify that it was a kid and his target was a bully? Because, that would definitely show motive and void out the News. Not that the media doesn't play a huge role in all of this, but there are some other triggers out there we need to be looking at as well, at least when it come to young individuals shooting.

As far as the "style" of weapons are concerned... They will start where they can get leverage. Right now "Scary" guns show the most promise for getting a running start on gun laws and restrictions. Once they get their foot in the door and know what words to use, they will certainly come after firearms with Wood and Synthetic Camo stocks... As discussed earlier they will call a high powered rifle a "sniper" rifle and claim that only the military has use for .338 Lapua and .300 WIN MAG to shoot out over 1000yds. Because, civilians don't have target sports or anything *rolls eyes*
