Home Forums Miscellaneous Topics Second Amendment Would banning Assault style rifles give gun ownership a better image

The guy that shot em said that they butchered them "no pun" . All you gotta do is shoot em center mass , and cut off the front , and rear legs . Your done butchering for the day ! <P>Regards: Treeratkiller<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial">quote:</font><HR><font face="Arial" size="2">Originally posted by big hunter:<BR><B> Those were shot with a .50 bmg, weren't they? That's what I mean. It would ruin too much meat. On the other hand, there would be about ten pounds less to drag than if you shot it wiht something else.

NO NO NO You don't compromise God given rights just because somthing looks mean, heck you would have to ban pro wrestling and Hummers as well just for starters if looks were the only criteria. Besides assult weapon has many connotations, in Roman times the double edge short sword was the state of the art assult weapon and during the revolution muzzel loaders were. So how do you decide what denotes an assult weapon any way?<P>------------------<BR>T LEE<BR>APATHY...Freedoms greatest enemy!

Gentlemen,<BR>Once you give up a particular firearm, it does not matter which type, you have set the precedent for the banning of all of them. Just look at England and Australia. Sure, it takes them many years, but the end result is the same. TOTAL CONFISCATION! The anti's are nothing if not patient. They are willing to take baby steps in order to obtain the final result. They never forget that total elimination is the desired result and fear is the primary weapon they use to entice the masses into voting for more and more restrictive laws. <BR>We here in Michigan are fighting this battle as we speak. Our legislature passed a shall issue law for concealed carry. The legislature had the foresight to include a million dollars to help pay for the application kits and such. Since the bill is an appropriation bill, the bill cannot be stopped from taking effect on July 1. The only way the anti's can try to stop it is by going to court and get the appropriation thrown out. They can get enough signatures to get it on a referendum in 2002, but they know that it will be too late then. Once the 80% of the fence sitters see that our state has not turned into Dodge City east, the fear factor will be broken and no amount of fear mongering will be able to change it. We as gun owners have to keep speaking the truth. If we keep at it, I think we can prevail in the end. This goes for all gun owners.

I have posted this many times, but we must be reminded. There are about 80 million gun owners but only 3 million NRA members. If everybody who oened a gun joined the NRA, would any politician in his right mind mess with them? THink about it, and in the meantime, if you know any gun owners that aren't in the NRA for whatever reason, try to get them to join. It's the best thing we can do to preserve our rights (other than maybe getting more people involved).
