A 10 year prison sentence...

I have no words for the outrage I feel for such an idea even being proposed to become a law.


But, I do believe this topic has been throughly covered in other threads, and the Speaker of the House is reported to of said it will not make it.

 

[2RCO]

McCarthy tries introducing this or some other Anti-Gun legislation every chance she gets. Luckily she has very little support on the matter and it never makes it out of the committee. In reality this attempted legislation will never see light of day on the floor, but she'll keep trying as long as she gets keeps getting elected.

 

[Travis McGee]

I worry that the MSM will finally notice this bill, and they will make Cho and Loughner the poster boys. Anybody against the bill will be called a supporter of maniacs who want to massacre innocents. It could be packaged by the MSM in such a way that weak-kneed RINOs will be afraid to vote against it.

(On TV, 24/7. Smith's photo between Cho and Loughner.)
"Why does Congressman Smith want maniacs to have easy access to these massacre magazines? Even sportsmen like Dick Cheney agree gun owners don't need them."
Fade to smiling photo of Congresswoman Giffords and the nine year old victim.
"Support responsible gun rights. Support the bill to ban these massacre makers."

I recently spoke to my congressman, Gus Bilirakis regarding any gun legislation proposed and he said any bill brought to the house will be a non starter. He said Speaker Boehner has stated that as well. I told Gus that we will hold them to that. Bottom line - even if you think your congressman is pro 2nd Amendment, give them a call, send them a letter, or make an appointment at their office for a visit.

Did you read through the posts to see WHY they were locked?

It's in committee, has few cosponsors, and it comes up every year.

The Speaker said it will not get out of committee.

If it does then we will be able to discuss what to do next but until then there really isn't anything new here.
