And then what???????


Senator Dianne Feinstein’s new so-called "Assault Weapons" Ban, can only be describe as the most radical scheme which could lead to the END of the Second Amendment in America .

The gun-grabbers are going for broke, doing everything they can to "cash in" on the recent tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut.

They’re targeting EVERYTHING -- rifles, shotguns and even handguns -- and every gun owner and gun purchase is to be catalogued and tracked by the federal government.

President Obama’s Administration is announcing it will "push forward quickly" on gun control -- and Vice President Joe Biden is promising it will be a "done deal" in a matter of weeks!

If passed, Feinstein’s Gun Ban would:

  • Ban the sale, transfer, importation, and manufacturing of 120 specifically named rifles, shotguns and handguns!
  • Ban the sale, transfer, importation and manufacturing of ALL firearms with a detachable magazine and at least one "military characteristic" -- which could mean just about anything that makes a gun "look scary;"
  • Ban the sale, transfer, importation, and manufacturing of magazines holding more than 10 rounds;
  • Force owners of ALL "grandfathered" weapons to undergo an intrusive background check and fingerprinting -- treating law-abiding citizens like criminals;
  • Force owners of ALL "grandfathered" weapons to federally register their guns after obtaining a permission slip from local law enforcement showing their guns are not in violation of state or local law.

That’s right.  If you own a $10 magazine that’s more than 10 rounds, you’ll have to register it with the BATFE in their National Firearms Registry.

The ban on "transfers" means you and I can forget about ever handing down one of these guns to our kids and grandkids.

Worse, it could mean widows become instant felons if their husbands owned one of these banned magazines or firearms!

I am reasonably sure, well maybe not, that the incident in Connecticut was not "arranged." But, there is no question that the "incident" has gotten more use than .... well, a lot of use. Nothing could have happened that would have gotten more publicity and been more timely and had more "gut wrenching" results than one where little children and teachers were involved.

I don't own a gun. I used to have some 22's and a shotgun, which were used very little. We even had a gun cabinet, never really thought why. I am inclined to feel that "guns" are just one step towards taking our "rights" away from us, one step at a time. Cars kill more than guns, wars, using guns, kill man more. Take the guns, and then what?

Guns are used in more than half of the suicides in the US, wonder if they will exploit that?
