THE MOST SWEEPING GUN BAN EVER INTRODUCED IN CONGRESS; McCarthy Bill Bans Millions More Guns Than The Clinton Gun Ban On Feb. 14, 2007, Representative Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.) introduced H.R. 1022, a bill with the stated purpose, "to reauthorize the assault weapons ban, and for other purposes." McCarthy's verbiage warrants explanation. Presumably, what she means by "assault weapons ban" is the Clinton Gun Ban of 1994. Congress allowed the ban to expire in 2004 for multiple reasons, including the fact that federal, state and local law enforcement agency studies showed that guns affected by the ban had been used in only a small percentage of crime, before and after the ban was imposed. Reauthorizing the Clinton Gun Ban would be objectionable enough. But McCarthy's "other purposes" would make matters even worse. H.R. 1022 would ban every gun banned by the Clinton ban, plus millions more guns, including: • Every gun made to comply with the Clinton ban. (The Clinton ban dictated the kinds of grips, stocks and attachments new guns could have. Manufacturers modified new guns to the Clinton requirements. H.R. 1022 would ban the modified guns too.) • Guns exempted by the Clinton ban. (Ruger Mini-14s and -30s and Ranch Rifles; .30 cal. carbines; and fixed-magazine, semi-automatic, center-fire rifles that hold more than 10 rounds.) • All semi-automatic shotguns. (E.g., Remington, Winchester, Beretta and Benelli, used for hunting, sport shooting, and self-defense. H.R. 1022 would ban them because they have "any characteristic that can function as a grip," and would also ban their main component, called the "receiver.") • All detachable-magazine semi-automatic rifles - including, for example, the ubiquitous Ruger 10/22 .22 rimfire - because they have "any characteristic that can function as a grip." • Target shooting rifles. (E.g., the three centerfire rifles most popular for marksmanship competitions: the Colt AR-15, the Springfield M1A and the M1 "Garand.") • Any semi-automatic shotgun or rifle an Attorney General one day claims isn't "sporting," even though the constitutions of the U.S. and 44 states, and the laws of all 50 states, recognize the right to use guns for defense. • 65 named guns (the Clinton law banned 19 by name); semi-auto fixed-magazine pistols of over 10 rounds capacity; and frames, receivers and parts used to repair or refurbish guns. H.R. 1022 would also ban the importation of magazines exempted by the Clinton ban, ban the sale of a legally-owned "assault weapon" with a magazine of over 10 rounds capacity, and begin backdoor registration of guns, by requiring private sales of banned guns, frames, receivers and parts to be conducted through licensed dealers. Finally, whereas the Clinton Gun Ban was imposed for a 10-year trial period, H.R. 1022 would be a permanent ban. Please be sure to contact your U.S. Representative and urge him or her to oppose H.R. 1022! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ They are so brazen now. Who IS that woman?

The Hero troops will protect us. Only terrorists or terrorist 5th columnists could be against gun control.
A traitor, who is trying to facilitate an agenda. The very notion that this shit is going to be passed, and IT WILL GET PASSED WITHOUT QUESTION, should tell EVERYONE RIGHT NOW, that the people in Washington cannot, and should not be trusted to protect your rights and freedoms. In fact, they are looking to ROB YOU OF YOUR RIGHTS AT EVERY TURN. On September 12th of 2001, EVERY SINGLE POLITICIAN SHOULD HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM OFFICE FOR DERELICTION OF DUTY, JUST LIKE EVERY MILITARY, AND INTELLIGENCE PERSONNEL SHOULD HAVE BEEN BROUGHT UP ON CHARGES OF DERELICTION OF DUTY. Yet, there was no accountability what so ever. The people of the United States do not care that you steal their rights and freedoms so long as they are coddled and cared for from cradle to grave. As sheep you will live, and as sheep you will die. THAT IS THE MANTRA OF THE WEAK WILLED LIBERAL PUKES OF THE UNITED STATES.

And like good sheep, "we the people" will bow in submission. There will be hundred of thousands of sheep (if not millions) turning their banned weaponry into the government. To make it worse, they will do it without even receiving payment, thus pissing away the money spent in purchasing the weapons. Not this guy. I've been collecting my weapons since I was a teenager and I have a substantial amount of money invested. I ain't turning in a single banned weapon. They have no fucking right to pass this law and I don't give a shit what Congress or the Supreme Court claims the 2nd amendment means. I know my fucking American history, therefore I know the meaning and reason behind the 2nd amendment. I will not give up my weapons based on the arbitrary rules of a bunch of fucking criminals in Washington D.C. and the sniveling cowards throughout the country that allow the government to overstep their constitutional authority in this manner.
