gun grab

How exactly is making it illegal to own an "assault weapon" gonna impact already illegal weapons trafficking in Mexico??? Last I checked you can't legally buy illegally imported gun :confused:

They have already been making it hard with the ammo registration requirements, a covert form of gun control.
This is the next step.
Next under attack will be concealed carry permits.

great, I hope this time they make it more practical than the last and not have so many technicalities. It is a smart measure but must be implemented better or else it is just restricting rights and not accomplishing anything

yeah and lets hope your brother goes to jail for possession of illegal weapons when they pass the ban. Tell me again why you need cop killer bullets and assault rifles? Oh yeah probably because your a religious freak that belongs to a terrorist organization? Yeah...yeah... that's right...

Like drug dealers aren't going to be able to get even better weapons from other places.

I guess I'll be calling my congressmen in the morning.

The Obama Marxists want to ban US citizens from owning guns so that they don't get across the porous border to Mexico? Only Marxists could make this stuff up. Of course the gangs in the US will be let alone with their weapons and probably given gov jobs. We have psychos running the country .

I hope this sets a precedent. Maybe once this passes we can turn around and tell Mexico to ban fucking so they eventually won't have any more people to illegally enter the US.

You know why I do? Because I feel I do.

You know what? You don't need to eat anything other than water and carrots. Why? Because I say you don't.

You're cool with that, right?

Why do you need armor piercing bullets? To pierce armor.

Why do I need to pierce armor? Because I'm not stable enough to own a gun.

For ****'s sake, can't you stick to a handgun?

The founding fathers knew what an out of control government can do; hence, the second amendment. Don't believe me...

The beauty of the second amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it.

The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.

Why do I need armor piercing bullets? Because when someone's busting through my door wearing a vest, I don't want them coming inside.

Don't invade my house, and you won't need a bullet proof vest.

What's the problem?

Everyone should carry a weapon so we can stop these lunatics who want to do bodily harm to innocents minding their own business.

Please. This argument is such a joke, we are talking about trying to solve a problem practically here. The government already owns you it doesn't matter whether or not you have an assault rifle. They have swat teams, they have the FBI, they have the national guard, the army, and they have nuclear weapons. This argument is dependent upon such a radical concept of what our government today should look like that it isn't even worth discussing.

It's okay. We don't need guns. The government is going to take care of us. We will all live happily ever after. All thanks to our lord and savior, Barack Obama.

Please, Mexico's drug cartel problem isn't going to be solved by banning assault weapons. Only an total idiot would buy that argument.

From the article:

Mexican government officials have complained that the availability of sophisticated guns from the United States have emboldened drug traffickers to fight over access routes into the U.S.


So the Mexicans want open borders for their illegals and drugs to flow into the US, but they want US citizens to give up their rights so they will quit killing each other over all the money they're making off of us??

Fucking brilliant.... NOT!!

You can still bear arms. Just not assault weapons.
