Oh crap- we're screwed now! FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Washington, D.C. - 17 Dec 2012: Today a team of powerful Senators and Congresspeople have already started to write the "Newtown Bill" against assault weapons and suggested Friday's shooting in Newtown, Conn. has opened up the issue to re-invigorate the strictest gun laws the U.S. has ever seen. The Proposed Bill on assault weapons looks to be voted into law regardelss of a fear of destroying Second Amendment rights. The joint team said last Friday's shooting changed all that. "The massacre of our children has changed America. We need to act and remove deadly high-power and high-capacity assault weapons from citizens who may use them against us!" . The issue is apparently one of Freedom, saying, "We don't know anyone in the sporting or hunting industry that goes out with an assault rifle and uses 30 rounds in a high-power magazine to go get meat. We need to stop these people." Now that President Obama has won his 2012 re-election race, he will address this issue and condider the new "Newtown Bill" on assault weapons in the wake of the shooting. The proposed Bill, aims at making all firearms owners accountable like vehicle drivers: - Registration of all firearms
- Mandatory firearms insurance
- Reinstating the assault weapons ban
- Firearms owners tests
- Medical examinations
- Ban on all high-power ammunition that can be used in assault weapons

That's a press release -- and a rather unprofessional one, at that. Please cite the source.

Again, cite the source of the press release. It's meaningless if we don't know who put it out.
This is one of the things I hate about the Internet. Anyone can throw some crap out there and a significant percentage of people immediately take it as gospel.

No schit. In fact,I'd be quite happy were it true. It's easy to know where that one would go once it reached Congress.

Smells like BS to me. The release, as written, would not pass a rudimentary professional review by any credible organization.

That's like blaming all car owners for the drunk driving deaths. You head over to democraticunderground with all the other dipsh!t liberals.

The press release might be BS, but you can be sure the Democrats have had the legislation written for quite awhile, tucked away in a filing cabinet, just waiting for an event such as this.

If congress did pass something like this and the vast majority of gun owners ignored it the antis would go nuts. IIRC residents of California ignored a semi-auto ban and nothing happened. Over 50,000 semi-auto gun owners refused to comply. I read a few years ago nearly 1/6 the population of Australia quit paying the tax on firearms after their government banned and destroyed thousands of firearms.
