The NRA reps left this meeting with a profound sense of being like a bastige at a family reunion. These "derriere derbys" have but ONE agenda. DISARMING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE so that their nefarious plans for the future will not have as much resistance as if WE THE PEOPLE were armed with "SHOULDER FIRED, MAGAZINE FED, GAS OPERATED, SEMI AUTO BATTLE RIFLES". Next they will ban the sale of ammunition. Maybe it IS TIME for some "house cleaning". No pun intended. "Senate cleaning" would be MORE appropriate.
"As the president said, if your actions result in only saving one life, they're worth taking," Vice President Joe Biden declared on Wednesday as he previewed what his commission on gun violence might actually do.
"There are executive orders, there's executive action that can be taken. We haven't decided what that is yet. But we're compiling it all with the help of the attorney general and the rest of the Cabinet members as well as legislative action that we believe is required."
Biden insisted that it is a moral imperative for the White House...
the planned "assault weapon" ban is going to ban semi-auto HANDGUNS AND HUNTING RIFLES too.
the key wording is the standard of ONE "indicator" being necessary to define an "assault weapon",and that key indicator is "interchangeable magazines". Once the law is enacted,it's a matter of "interpretation" by F-Troop,and they WILL consider handguns and hunting rifles as "assault weapons" if they have interchangeable mags. that's EVERY semi-auto handgun.
