article on potential ban

"...that would ban the sale or manufacture of about 120 firearms, including semiautomatic rifles and military-style handguns..." Wtf is a military style handgun?

 

Rank and File Cops should bs the ones calling BS on this and publically disagreeing there hand picked "supposed" leaders...after all, it's the Rank and File who's going to have to face the public if this crap get pushed through.

Personally, were I in Law Enforcent, I'd take the sane route and resign before becoming a martyr on the alter of liberalism...

...on the upside, those officer who chose to stay and "attempt" enforcement should have daily opportunities for "field promotions".

Attrition is a bitch fella's...

The Police Chiefs will back this crusade. There will be billions of Federal dollars dumped into this project. Police and Mayors will have major funding and incredible control over the people.

You can read about this when the power of the German people was taken over by the Nazis. That all started with funding of National Health Care. It progressed from anti tobacco to gun control.

 

When they regulated the the full autos in 1934 they used a tax. Everyone who had one had to pay a $200 dollar tax to keep the firearm. That was a lot of money in 1934.
Many of the leading Democrats want to do this with semi auto rifles today. I don't think it will be any kind of door to door confiscation. If you own a Browning P35 pistol with a shoulder stock you must buy a tax stamp to own it. That is one example under the SBR rules. The transfer stamp is a one time tax.
We don't know anything yet. Becareful about making moves this early in the fight. My concern at this time is the Republican Party is weak and running from the fire. If the Republicans fold we are in big trouble. The Democrats will move to a total Euro ban like England.

 

eltoro, you make a good point. I can see Blue states used as test for the Final Solution. The Blue states with harsh gun control has people who are already conditioned for gun bans.

 

I wonder what the small print says on all the military hardware being sold to cities? My own small town picked up two Hummers for next to nothing. there are no free rides...

It is not a "potential" ban, it is a "proposed" ban." It is important to understand the difference.

Nothing is about to come to a vote until the financial issues are dealt with. Who knows how long that will take.
By that time, if we don't have any more mass murders, the temperature of the country will have cooled on gun issues.

 

There will be unintended consequences.

 

Chain that sword cuts on both sides. Obama can issue a Presidential ruling. And then wait for the congress to act on it. The votes maybe months in comming. New laws are like Ticks in a long haired dog they are damn hard to remove once the blood sucking starts.

 

Hey Chainfire aren't you the same man that said, "President Obama is not coming for your guns. Stop watching/listening to Glenn Beck and Fox News". Paraphrased but accurate. Yea, like I'm really going to listen to you on this matter. May your mosin collection be the first guns to meet the band saw because you have said many times what obama is doing is lawful and constitutional.

 

Once it is proposed, doesn't it become potential?

 

I said it, and as of now it remains true. Throw it in my face when the blue helmets show up in your driveway, and I will apologize. Until then, try to be patient.
