They are arming Islamist radicals in Egypt, Syria, and Libya and disarming lawful gun owners in the U.S. This cannot be allowed to stand. :mad5

I have a theory that they know full well none of this legislation will pass, but they are gambling that the public sentiment supports their ideas for gun bans and when they fail they can tell the public "See, we tried our best but the evil child killing Republicans blocked it!"

Probably, yeah.

One of these days I'm going to have read Saul Alinsky's book so I can dispense with the "probably" and know what these people are up to instead of merely suspecting.

I especially liked how they had the cop up there claiming nobody needed such high-powered rifles to hunt... Isn't it illegal in some states to hunt with an AR-15 because it's too low-powered to humanely kill the animal?

High powered rifles? They're even banning 22 LR.

No, it just means they weren't specifically mentioned. Note it says ALL AR types, "including"......

notice the semi-colons used along the way in the list. I believe the semi-colon is a seperator.
