Hello folks, it's been a while since I've posted here on The High Road.
I'm sure many of you are aware of the most blatant infringement of our Second Amendment rights, the 1986 Machine Gun Ban, or otherwise known as the Hughes Amendment, incorporated at the last minute into the FOPA as a "poison pill" to basically screw us all over. Setting aside the facts of the Hughes Amendment which have been discussed time after time in many other forums, I believe it is time to realize that we must not live on like this, being limited to what we can and cannot do by the ATF as well as the Federal Government.
Frankly, I am tired of the Federal Government and the ATF telling law abiding gun owners, "No, you may not possess a machine gun manufactured after May 19, 1986." I'm tired of not seeing any kind of legislative action taken by the NRA or other organizations regarding the repealing of this subject. We have waited too long, and the prices of these weapons have climbed so high, that the ordinary citizen cannot own a full size automatic weapon. It is simply out of reach of the common folk, which is where the word "unavailability" becomes synonymous to the word "illegal".
The time is 2010. The beginning of a new decade. Think about it for a minute, just how long this issue has gone unresolved. I thought that after the Hughes Amendment became law, the NRA's Wayne LaPierre stated that the entire organization would have the repealing of the ban on their top priories of things to do. Well, what have they done about it? I haven't heard anything about anything done to throw this issue up into the Federal Government and have the law proven unconstitutional once and for all. But why? I would not know. Looks to me like the NRA and the rest of the gang have simply forgotten about it. Frankly, someone needs to do something about it.
Any law abiding citizen who wishes to use a machine gun for lawful purposes shall not be denied liberal access to these weapons by the government. To be told that I cannot own a post-1986 fully automatic weapon is an infringement of my Second Amendment rights, as well as your own. As in other countries, they take the machine guns away, then they come for the semi auto's, and then pretty soon everyone's down to single shot shotguns. So be warned that we are already on Strike 1.
So what's the deal here? Are we going to wait until all transferable machine guns become C&R eligible, or are we going to stand up and do the right thing here. I think we've heard enough of "Oh, we should do this!" or "Oh, we should do that!" It's time to do it. If we let things sit like this for any longer than it already has, we will never be able to undo the damage that these Liberals have done to us.
It's a new decade of the 21st century. It's time to get out there and make a difference. We have weakened many of the gun grabbers out there, and it's necessary to go even further when they're even more vulnerable. Time for the NRA and the armed citizen to prove a point, get out there, and get our rights back.
Thanks, for listening.
Best Regards,
Steve

I think your anger is two decades too late.
