At the AWB again?

Banning clips doesn't bother me too much. Its the magazines I care about.

Those 'assault clips' have gotta go. Can't have a bunch of inanimate metal running amok assaulting people.

It's not new news, it's been floating around since the Giffords shooting. It hasn't gathered momentum, and is slowly dying, but the Brady Bunch still tries. It won't even get to committee, let alone out of one.

Their bill H.R.308 states nothing over 10 rounds would be legal for civilian use. Their reason why? Because it has nothing to do with hunting or self defense.

The bills Ive seen and their language, call for confiscation and banning of any transfers of banned items, regardless its not likely to happen

The proposed ammo "clip" ban might pass the senate. It won't come up for a vote in the house.

Why do you think I keep mine in the safe? I mean when the things are not locked into a rifle, you just do not know what they will do.

Apparently NONE of these lawmakers have spent time at a paid range. I personally like to actually shoot not reload magazines my entire time at the range.

I need to buy my glock bayonet before they ban them!

I feel sorry for Brady, but I wish he would start going after the reason he was shot, and it is not the gun, it was Hinckley. Who is living in a psychiatric hospital, allowed to go home and visit his mommy and will probably be out on the streets in another year or two.

I never hear the Bradys (James or Sarah) Schummer, Pelosi or any other anti-guns libs screaming about the REAL reason Brady is in a wheel chair.

Life is a crap shoot. Every night you get home healthy is a gift. Brady getting shot is just bad luck. Our liberties should never be held at risk of some folks bad luck.

The perp is already out on the street much of the time. Deleted-bad info.

News of Hinckley's pending release has shaken some residents of Kingsmill. Many homeowners wouldn't go on camera with CBS 6 but did tell us off camera that they are deeply disturbed at the possibility of him moving in permanently. Currently a judge allows Hinckley to visit Williamsburg for overnight visits twelve times a year. According to published reports, he can stay for ten days at a time.

BTW: It makes a big difference when the perps family is filty rich.

I didn't even have to look to know it was Lautenberg and McCarthy that were sponsoring it. they bring this up every legislative session, there is nothing new here.

It does make me giggle, they open the article with Reagan's name instead of Brady's. Reagan came away from the experience with a much different opinion.

The perp is already out on the street much of the time. He owns a pizzeria in Williamsburg.

Actually - no. Although poorly written in the cited article, it is Frank Alosa who owns a pizzeria across the street from the Kingsmill subdivision (where Hinckley's mother lives)

Wasn't Jodie Foster wearing those clips in her hair in the movie "Taxi" ???

Too many millions of high capacity magazines were sold after the AWB expired and during the "Obama panic" The genie is out of the bottle.

Sorry for the bad info. My post has been corrected.

Didn't Hinckley use a .22cal revolver when he tried to kill Pres. Reagan? I don't see how they could equate "high capacity assualt clips" with the attack, he never used one.

Same reason they attacked Sarah Palin after scumbag shot Congresswoman Giffords - because they wanted too. Logic or reasoning has absolutely nothing to do with it. Politics is perception, and public perception is easily swayed - how many of them think American Idol is more important the national elections? They bank on the idea most Americans will take what they say at face value, and never even bothering to use google to check for the truth. Then when we bring up the truth, the other person says they saw it on the news, so we, who are NOT the news, must be wrong, despite the fact that the truth has been manipulated so far out of whack that it is unrecognizable. So, John Hinkley, who legally bought two 22 caliber revolvers in Texas 4 months before attempting to assassinate President Reagan, becomes the poster child for banning high capacity magazines, semi auto rifles, 5 day waiting periods, etc. because nobody outside of us will ever bother to check the "facts" of this factless bunch,

They even threw in some elitist crap.

We all know that retired LEO's have more should have more firearm rights than the rest of us. /end_sarcasm
