"If gun laws in fact worked, the sponsors
of this type of legislation should have no difficulty drawing upon long lists
of examples of crime rates reduced by such legislation. That they cannot do so
after a century and a half of trying -- that they must sweep under the rug the
southern attempts at gun control in the 1870-1910 period, the northeastern
attempts in the 1920-1939 period, the attempts at both Federal and State levels
in 1965-1976 -- establishes the repeated, complete and inevitable failure of
gun laws to control serious crime." - Senator Orrin Hatch
"The problem is not the availability
of guns, it is the availability of morons."
- Antonio Meloni
"Those who deny me the freedom to
carry a firearm with which to protect my family and myself, are as complicit
and guilty as the perpetrator should we be harmed or murdered by an act of
violence." - Charles F. "Chuck" Bearden
________________________________________________________________________
"The ruling class doesn't care about
public safety. Having made it very difficult for States and localities to
police themselves, having left ordinary citizens with no choice but to protect
themselves as best they can, they now try to take our guns away. In fact they
blame us and our guns for crime. This is so wrong that it cannot be an honest mistake."
- Sen. Malcolm Wallop

"Americans have the right and
advantage of being armed, unlike the people of other countries, whose leaders
are afraid to trust them with arms." - James Madison

Assault Weapons Ban 2013

NRA Inst. for Legislative Action
From
my cold, dead hands – A classic from the guy who parted the Red
Sea
Feel free to forward this email, if you dare.
Although
I sent out News of Import two days ago, the recent news, especially the
proposed weapons ban, is too important to not to send along now. As you
know, I went into detail about gun laws in the last News of Import, and despite
the progressive dream of a Utopian world, there are no perfect solutions.
Even if we took away every last gun on the face of the earth, mass
murders would still take place. The hard, cold fact is that if a person wants
to kill a group of people, he or she will do so. Susan Smith didn’t use a
gun to kill her children; she used her car and drove them into a lake.
Ted Kaczynski didn’t use guns to kill people; he made bombs in order to fill
his sick needs. The mass murdering Muslims of 9/11 didn’t use guns to
attack America; they drove our own airplanes into buildings. Drunk
drivers kill thousands of people per year, and I won’t even go into detail
about the fact that Planned Parenthood performs approximately one abortion
every 95 seconds. Even in China, where guns are banned entirely as is the case
in Japan, murders are through the roof as people kill with knives or other
means, with the last attack in China having a death toll of 22 kids slain
during one attack with a knife. In Los Angeles some women who were
sleeping were just set on fire.
In the 20th century 170 million people were annihilated by their own
governments AFTER BEING DISARMED. GUN CONTROL has never been about guns.
It is about CONTROL.
Yet here are the details of Diane Feinstein's new Assault Weapons ban: The idea
of a US citizen having to register his/her firearms while being finger printed,
along with a photo taken as a common felon is not only unconstitutional, it is
in my opinion, repugnant.
Read for yourself in her own words: http://www.feinstein.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/assault-weapons
Expanded info
from the NRA
· Adopts new lists of
prohibited external features. For example, whereas the 1994 ban applied
to a rifle or shotgun the “pistol grip” of which “protrudes
conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon,” the new bill would drastically
expand the definition to include any “grip . . . or any other characteristic
that can function as a grip.” Also, the new bill adds “forward grip” to
the list of prohibiting features for rifles, defining it as “a grip located
forward of the trigger that functions as a pistol grip.” Read literally and in
conjunction with the reduction from two features to one, the new language would
apply to every detachable-magazine semi-automatic rifle. At a minimum, it
would, for example, ban all models of the AR-15, even those developed for
compliance with California’s highly restrictive ban.
·
Carries
hyperbole further than the 1994 ban. Feinstein’s 1994
ban listed “grenade launcher” as one of the prohibiting features for rifles.
Her 2013 bill carries goes even further into the ridiculous, by also listing
“rocket launcher.” Such devices are restricted under the National Firearms Act
and, obviously, are not standard components of the firearms Feinstein wants to
ban. Perhaps a subsequent Feinstein bill will add “nuclear bomb,” “particle
beam weapon,” or something else equally far-fetched to the features list.
· Expands the definition of
“assault weapon” by including:
· Three very popular
rifles: The M1 Carbine (introduced in 1944 and for many years sold by the federal
government to individuals involved in marksmanship competition), a model of the
Ruger Mini-14, and most or all models of the SKS.
· Any “semiautomatic,
centerfire, or rimfire rifle that has a fixed magazine with the capacity to
accept more than 10 rounds,” except for tubular-magazine .22s.
· Any “semiautomatic,
centerfire, or rimfire rifle that has an overall length of less than 30
inches,” any “semiautomatic handgun with a fixed magazine that has the capacity
to accept more than 10 rounds,” and any semi-automatic handgun that has a
threaded barrel.
· Requires owners of existing
“assault weapons” to register them with the federal government under the
National Firearms Act (NFA). The NFA imposes a $200 tax per firearm, and requires an owner
to submit photographs and fingerprints to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives (BATFE), to inform the BATFE of the address where the firearm will be kept, and to
obtain the BATFE’s permission to transport the
firearm across state lines.
· Prohibits the transfer of
“assault weapons.” Owners of other firearms, including those covered by
the NFA, are permitted to sell them or pass them to
heirs. However, under Feinstein’s new bill, “assault weapons” would remain with
their current owners until their deaths, at which point they would be forfeited
to the government.
· Prohibits the domestic
manufacture and the importation of magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of
ammunition. The 1994 ban
allowed the importation of such magazines that were manufactured before the ban
took effect. Whereas the 1994 ban protected gun owners from errant prosecution
by making the government prove when a magazine was made, the new ban includes
no such protection. The new ban also requires firearm dealers to certify the
date of manufacture of any >10-round magazine sold, a virtually impossible
task, given that virtually no magazines are stamped with their date of
manufacture.
·
Targets
handguns in defiance of the Supreme Court. The Court ruled in
District of Columbia v. Heller that the Second Amendment protects the
right to have handguns for self-defense, in large part on the basis of the fact
handguns are the type of firearm “overwhelmingly chosen by American society for
that lawful purpose.” Semi-automatic pistols, which are the most popular
handguns today, are designed to use detachable magazines,
and the magazines “overwhelmingly chosen” by Americans for self-defense are
those that hold more than 10 rounds. Additionally, Feinstein’s list of nearly
1,000 firearms exempted by name (see next paragraph) contains not a single
handgun. Sen. Feinstein advocated banning handguns before being elected to the
Senate, though she carried a handgun for her own personal protection.
· Contains a larger piece of
window dressing than the 1994 ban. Whereas the 1994 ban included a list of
approximately 600 rifles and shotguns exempted from the ban by name, the new
bill’s list is increased to nearly 1,000 rifles and shotguns. Other than for
the 11 detachable-magazine semi-automatic rifles and one other semi-automatic
rifle included in the list, however, the list appears to be pointless, because
a separate provision of the bill exempts “any firearm that is manually operated
by bolt, pump, lever, or slide action.”
