Obama not reinstating AWB

After reading Obama's leaked Homeland security document on right-wing extremist groups it almost brings back the urge to go out and buy more ammo.
 
Registration isnt going to happen. Why? Because the government knows that there are many many folks who just wont do it.

What happens when gun owners say NO.

Thats all this whole AWB gun thing is. We just tell them NO.

You wanna tax it? NO We'll just vote you out

You want us to register? NO

You want us to turn em in? NO

You want to restrict us further? NO

Its really not that hard to figure out.

Too many people run around touting their "when guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns" mantra.

Fact is, there are less people who mean it and expect to be an outlaw. There are many sheep out there who own guns.

Just say NO to any more Government control.

NO, NO, NO

That is what will work.
 
Just say NO to any more Government control.

It worked so well the last time!

Seriously. No offense intended, but I believe a lot of our fellow Americans have and will say Yes Yes Yes to more government control, especially if it controls someone else.
 
It'll be paid for by increased taxes on registration, or it'll serve the behind-the-scenes purpose of drying up demand for the activity through punitive taxation. They can make the law and then underfund the approval process.

Yeah, because they're going to pull $100 billion out of thin air for something as arbitrary and partisan as gun registration? No. They're not. Obama had to practically beg for $87 billion for the Iraq War. He's not going to get a dime for something like registration.

It worked so well the last time!

I'm pretty sure there wasn't the huge brouhaha against an AWB in 1994 as there was this year.
 
What the hell is wrong with some of yall, MOLON LABE plain & simple! The fact of the matter is, the slippery slope to gun prohibition is just not physically possible in this Country!!!!!


Sure the govt passed a AWB in 94, but did that do anything to effect your ability to own or buy anything they actually banned?, Hell no!

The U.S. has 90 guns for every 100 citizens, making it the most heavily armed society in the world! Its impossible, say it with me impossible to register the firearms in this country.

It also scares the living sh*t out of our govt, that we are arming ourselves in unprecedented amounts than ever before in this country's history these past few months! We are buying & stockpiling 1000's & 1000's of rounds of ammunition for an array of firearms to have for just in case the TSHTF.

Some of us have been arming ourselves for years, and been provoked as gun nut jobs as a result. But now the entire country has gotten with the program, and as a result the govt is becoming nervous and listening to what the people want which is "NO FU**KING GUN CONTROL"!

We control our destiny in this nation, sometimes through peace & sometimes by the way of the gun, as our forefathers did to fight for & proclaim our independence in 1776.
 
I can see the logic somewhat. Polls may say one thing (anti-gun) for media hype. But empty ammo shelves (pro-gun) at the local walmart speak greater volumes.
 
Prince Yamato et al,

I didn't say the current government would be able to pass it. I just think they'll float that that idea as opposed to any kind of ban.

Obama's press secretary may say he's against an AWB but I think he'll fold if an AWB bill hits his desk.
 
He wants to get re-elected and the Democrats want to maintain their majority.

So that means no AWB, for the time being that is.
 
I totally agree w/ you there Grizz and outerlimit.. I'd think Obama will sign that thing the second it hits his desk; hell, he'd have it signed before it hits his desk if he could. the problem is that he can't get his congressmen to pass it. Why? b/c they're afraid that if they vote for an AWB, they're gonna lose the next election... possibly ending their chances of advancing political power.

Might as well take the credit for it not happenin if it ain't gonna happen... and thus appeal to the gun lovers.. right? that's a politician for'ya

So all you suckers needa stop buyin up the ammo and mags b/c I can't find ANY! I know it's shameful as a THR member to only look for ammo on those bi-monthly grocery trips, but shooting isn't my #1 hobby either.

On the flip side, I'm sure that if some organization starts huge gunfights against police using AW's ... we'll get an AWB within a few months.
Or... if somebody important gets assassinated (prob won't have to be an AW even) we'd get an AW... but let's not count on any of the above.

My backing? just look at all the other gun control laws we have.. they were either sparked by assassinations or attempted assassinations of presidents, presidential candidates, or special ppl (MLK)
 
The president can't institute a new AWB by executive order. He may be able to ban the import some firearms, but can't do a THING to domestic manufacture unless congress passes a brand new law.
 
I recall Dianne Feinstein saying very recently that now is not the time to push a new AWB, but she is planning one and will introduce it when she thinks it has a better chance of passing, because right now there is no shot. Stupid for her to say though, because now we'll be on alert. Right when things look safe is exactly we should be the most vigilant because that's when it's coming.
