Sen. Ted "Where are my pants, my car, and my secretary" Kennedy is spouting the usual lies from VPC/Brady Bunch/et al.

"Scotch" Kennedy said they should be considering Sen FineStein's .50 cal ban...yada yada yada
 
Kennedy: It's preposterous to call this bill Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. If we were honest, we'd call it Protection of Unlawful commerce. It's blatant special interest bill protecting those who would supply arms to criminals and terrorists. It's difficult to believe that the Bush Admin would push aside major Def bill for this. Bush called for clean bill, without AWB, etc. Instead of considering this, we should be considering the regulation of .50 cal rifles. These guns can shoot down airplanes, and penetrate several inches of steel. In ‘95, Rand Corp IDed these rifles as serious threat. Snipers love them. A study by Dept Homeland IDed these weapon as serious threat to aviation. Mfgs advertise these guns as capable to destroying multi-mil aircraft. Every round sold threatens our troops. Instead, we are guaranteeing those who sell these guns will not be held liable. The NRA could care less they are interrupting the Def bill. They're willing to let mfgs and dealers put powerful killing machines in the hands of terrorists and criminals. Bush and Repubs will do what it takes to give NRA what it wants. For years courts have been the only place where negligent and conspiring dealers can be challenged. The bulk of mil contracts are already held by foreign mfgs. Lawsuits have nothing to do with that. We have not heard of one mfg filing for bankruptcy because of them. In fact, gun profits are up.
 
"All you need is a credit card and you can get your SF sniper rifle without a background check"

Does he actually believe this? I only wish it were true. What a bunch of outright lying sonsabitches!!!

I love how he complains about the "guns of the Special Forces" Vulcan Armament ad like they use some sort of magic uberweapons that kills hundreds with every shot.
 
Kennedy: Talks about S&W filings, and litigation costs. Can't pronounce Ruger. The level of litigation against mfgs is minuscule. Trots out 57 of 10 mil tort suits figure. This legislation is another in the long line of Congressional payback to NRA, to the detriment of the American people's safety. The gun lobby has made it impossible to police negligent dealer. Under Brady bill, FFLs must run background checks, but NRA demanded gun dealer definition be narrowed. We have shameless proposal that shields reckless sales, even protects mfgs that promote weapons for urban combat use. Shows ad from Vulcan Armament talking about their guns being used by Spec Ops, and Kennedy goes nuts. Outrageous! Credit card, you get your rifle used by specops. At the insistence of NRA, congress already cut funding for ATF. According to GAO, that ATF would take 22 years to inspect all gun dealers. It also tells us that terrorist suspects regularly buy guns here. Under current law, terrorists are legal buyers. Under this bill, mfgs and dealers will be exempt if they sell to terrorists. There were 45 instances of background checks matching terrorists.
 
According to Kennedy I can call Vulcan Arms and get the guns the Specials Forces are using in Afghanistan, all I need is a credit card. That is it. :rolleyes:


Edited to add
I seriously just had the thought of calling Vulcan and saying Sen Kennedy said it was ok to sell and ship a Special Forces rifle to me and ask them to do so :evil:
 
Kennedy - "These dealers will not even be held liable if they sell guns to terrorists!"

Would that be the same terrorist watch list that was used when you, Mr Kennedy, attempted to board a plane and you were denied entry? Unless you insinuate that you are a terrorist, you can personally affirm how flawed that same list can be.
 
Kennedy is on the verge of foaming at the mouth.


Only one word describes his "debate" and that is RABID. He is acting very angry, very fanatic.


He is now crying over terrorists buying our guns. Oh yea, and .50's.
 
CLEARLY ON THE VULCAN ARMS WEBSITE

Explain the Legalities?
All of the firearms manufactured by Vulcan Arms, Inc. are completely compliant with all FEDERAL laws. Purchasing any of the firearms listed here is no more complicated than purchasing a bolt action rifle or shotgun. The customer is responsible for ensuring the specific firearm is legal in your area. Any receiver or firearm to be shipped requires that a signed copy of the receiver's FFL be on file prior to shipment. Faxed copies are not acceptable.
