Legislation to require a federal license to possess any detachable-magazine semi-automatic rifle or shotgun, or any handgun, has been introduced in Congress. Bills to re-impose the federal "assault weapon" and "large" magazine ban, or to impose a much broader ban, have been introduced in Congress since 2003, and will likely be introduced in the current Congress soon.
Already, the deliberate deceptions we heard from anti-gunners previously are resurfacing. Anti-gun Sen. Carl Levin, D-MI, said last Thursday on the floor of the Senate that "assault weapons" are "capable of firing up to 600 rounds per minute" and that they are "once again pervading our streets and neighborhoods."
Did we mention that our opponents are deliberately deceptive?
Many fully-automatic firearms can fire 10 rounds in a second, which theoretically would work out to 600 rounds per minute, but they cannot be reloaded fast enough to achieve anything near that rate in reality. But we are not talking about fully-automatic firearms—we’re talking about semi-automatics, and the difference between them need not be explained here.
"Pervading our streets?" Anti-gun lawmakers swore up and down that once the "assault weapon" ban expired, the murder rate would go through the roof. Well, the ban expired in 2004 and since then, the murder rate has gone down to a 43-year low.

Yeah, but it makes them feel better, actual statistics aren’t important to them. They also like to put a crimp on small gun shop owners who had a rough time getting through the assault rifle ban, because people with those plunk down good money on ammo and magazines that the gun store owners make a decent profit on, never mind that you usually see weapons that can be concealed used in a criminal manner. Of course if this makes you mad don’t look up the guy in Wisconsin who was arrested for being a former felon owning a black powder rifle, you know he was up to no good with that.
They think that by making the people go through a big hassle to own them legally it will keep them out of the criminals hands. They don’t realize that a criminal don’t care about the laws and will get them anyways.
They only want their friends (street criminals) to be armed.
Yes not only are gun rights going to get worse but already with the last administration we have lost basically all of our privacy rights due to the laws passed on terrorism.
The main question is will you die for your gun rights? Eventually that’s what it will come down to.
Our govt is slowly taking our freedom.
I am all for people having rifles for hunting…I find it questionable that anyone needs to have a semi automatic weapon outside of the military.
You can yell all you want that the constitution gives you the right to bear arms. That was written over 200 years ago before semi-automatic weapons. When this country was a vast frontier and you pretty much were on your own in protecting yourself. I don’t know how they would feel about the general population having such powerful weapons. I also question the general populations intelligence in handling these weapons. My husband has many friends that collect guns…and even they have been careless with weapons. Left them in cars to be stolen ect. I really think they should be reserved for trained professionals.
The murder rates have gone up in certain urban areas. Philadelphia had it’s highest murder rate ever last year, earning it the nickname "Killadelphia". You might want to look elsewhere for you statistics besides the NRA website.
When they know who has the guns, they will know who’s doors to knock on when it comes time to collect those guns. There are gullible idiots who believe that Obama does not want to take your guns. I will be very kind and say that is debatable based upon his prior history.
What is NOT debatable is the fact that there are members of Congress and many outside the belt that DO want to separate us from our guns…ALL guns. They see no reason why we should have them, not even for hunting or pleasure shooting. They would be ecstatic to totally disarm the population. These are not fringe nut jobs but mainstream politicians and well organized groups. These people are a lot like the Muslims and their goal of world domination. They are patient and are prepared to take years to achieve their goals.
When we are sufficiently disarmed, we will be at the total mercy of local, state and Federal authorities.
People better start paying attention to who they are electing.
We have a right to even fully automatics but politicians constantly violate that right. We have that right so we can enforce our other rights against their betrayal, and to stop them from abusing us in other ways.
They have been squandering our taxes and putting us into ever greater debt since long before I was born. Ultimately they will need to take most of our income and assets to cover the squandering. They are taxing away half of those now.
They know even the unconscious masses will become furious when they realize how they have been impoverished by the politician racketeers. They want us unarmed when that happens.
Obamanazi, you start off with that and would like and intelleget answer, so here goes i’ll go slow so you can under stand, that maybe a bit difficult for you with you nra membership past due. i am sure you would use you semi automatic firearm for sport or to protect your home. let me see sport one shot one kill or cripled animal that runs off to die, i dont see a problem there im a hunter(love hunting).protect the home pistol, shotgun or ball bat, again no problem, help me see you biggot what you would need to have an assult rifle for. you make no sense and are just to stupid to look past nra pride( i would be a member if it was not for radicalist like you) yes protect the right to bare arms but not the right to own a tank, and that is what the nra wants.
With bigger government comes more taxes, confusion, more spending, stupid laws, and less understanding of our fellow man.
