Hasta la vista AWB!

You would think after all these years she would at least know how to hold the darn thing. We don't have to worry about her changing mags, it looks from the picture like my 92 year old mother trying to work the remote. And the beat goes on, this is what we are up against, powerful people who have no clue what it is they are against, other than the rights of others.

Man what an Idiot I am. Sold my AR (for a fantastic price mind you) just because I didn't want to get caught holding onto something messy. I'm very glad this has transpired that way it has mind you. I also agree that the AWB thing is going to be very prominent with lawmakers in terms of their thinking, pro and con..."will this get me, or keep me from getting, elected"?
Oh well. If things go bad somebody who wanted it way worse than I has it now and will deal with it as he sees fit. If things return to sanity, I'll buy another one I guess...if they ever return to sanity...or I don't find something I enjoy more in the interim.
Panic mentality (everybody) + impulsivity (me) = regret and second guessing.
At least I'm used to it.

When the gun cases are full again and the shop owners can keep them that way I'll believe things are better. Until then things are still bad.

Amen.
Biden was just interviewed on NPR's All Things Considered, and he's clearly flabbergasted that people aren't falling in line with what he thinks we paeans should be "allowed" to own and use in terms of firearms.
Most importantly, he reiterated that he is playing the long game and that this decision in the Senate is the first battle in a long war to get what "they" want.
Semper vigilans.

FYI:
Saw in my local paper, The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, also heard several times on radio news broadcasts, that the current Assault Weapons Ban, so-called has been removed from proposals passed by The Judiciary Committee of The U.S. Senate. Of course, it could return as an amendment, and it likely will be so offered. Who knows what The Senate, in it's august wisdom, or what passes therefore might accept as an "amendment" to "underlying legislation". VP Biden spoke at length, being interviewed on WESA-FM, Public Radio in Pittsburgh, this interview likely broadcast on other stations too. Public Radio stations, as I understand things, maintain archives of broadcasts, which can be accessed via computer, in case you missed the original broadcast. Mr. Biden, of course, sang the same old songs, ditty's that, in my opinion, do not improve with age or repetition.
As Bart Roberts, and others offered, ""don't get complacent"". He is all to right there. Re VP Biden's Public Radio interview, it's available for listening on home computers, via public radio station archives, in case you missed the original broadcast interview, mostly Biden lecturing. He sang the same old songs, ditty's that improve neither from age, nor from repetition.

There must be huge numbers of back orders cancelled.
As with the more moderate panic in late '08, many of the buyers never even actually wanted an AR, and when they saw it in a shop, would not recognize it.
One question is when or whether the dawning realization will fairly Soon cool the fever for ammo.

LOL.
I really like the way you think.
So far, it seems like the Pro 2A team has been playing mostly defense.
It "is" past due time we take the fight to the enemy.

Supply cannot keep up with demand right now.
Where are all these magazines to hoard?
I've been looking for 9mm HK P30 mags for quite a while now.

Universal Background Checks=Mandatory Registration
Gun Buyback Program=Mandatory Confiscation.
The UBC makes unsuspecting felons out of many law-abiding citizens. Read the effluent in that bill. And there is more like it coming down the pike.
The battle isn't won; it hasn't even started yet.
As stated before, keep tabs on who voted anti-gun, and give 'em what they deserve; a bus ride home.

I saw that as well. Then he started getting really angry, and reminded me of a bratty kid who didn't get what he wanted for his birthday. Then I changed it.
This is true. It is not over until the fat lady sings. That said, this is a positive development. What is happening here, I think, is that Reid is listening to Senators facing tough reelections in 2014. They do not want to vote on this at all: if they vote "for" then they anger their constituents, and if they vote "against" they anger their fellow Democrats. They would like to see it just go away. Apparently, amendments will require 50 or 60 votes, depending on the procedural rules adopted. So let's hope they require 60. Even 50 may do it, as it gives those Democrats facing reelection the ability to vote against the amendments (so they can tell their constituents they voted against AWB) while voting for the bill as it came out of committee (to show their party loyalty).
My question: what's the status of UBC? Is it in the bill that came out of committee?
