Democrats push gun control laws in 3 states

~ The Rebel ~ 2012/08/17 15:44:41
Democratic leaders in three big states have used this summer's Colorado mass shooting to push bills that would crack down on assault weapons and ammunition sales, rekindling a debate that has not gained much traction in Congress or the presidential campaign.

In Illinois, Gov. Pat Quinn proposed that his state enact a strict ban on assault weapons, similar to California's. New York lawmakers have proposed wide-ranging legislation that would limit weapons purchases.

California Attorney General Kamala Harris and the Democratic state Senate leader back a bill that would make it more difficult and time-consuming to reload assault weapons. The chairmen of public safety committees in California's Assembly and Senate co-authored a bill that would require dealers to report purchases of large quantities of ammunition to law enforcement authorities.

    Still.. nobody has made a legal definition of exactly what an assault weapon is!

    Perhaps they should do that, before they write laws against it!


    To politicians :: an Assault Weapon is anything that will fire as fast as you can pull the trigger and doesn't look like a 1800's Revolver or a flint lock.

    To Weapons People, an Assault Weapon is a fully automatic machine gun, that can be selectively configure in to Full-Auto, Semi-Auto, and Single-Round firing modes, and is light, compact, reliable and not hampered by extreme harsh environments. Which is a very narrow selection of weapons. AND, by the way, it is already illegal to have a fully-automatic Machine Gun.. so why are they writing laws to cover laws they already have on the books?
