The Scariest Part of the AWB - 36
by Derek Reeves
Even though Halloween is behind us, we still live have to keep an eye out for dead things coming back to life. Attorney General, Eric Holder, is still pushing for a renewal of the Clinton gun ban, which expired in 2004. Last February, he made strong statements about fulfilling the promises made by President Obama on the campaign trail to make the ban permanent, but the economic and political climate the administration encountered made that legislation a non-starter. For those not familiar with the AWB it is a bill that, in reality, goes after criminals by attacking law abiding Americans. Since its’ implementation in 1994 and its eventual sunset in 2004 the face of crime has not changed neither the method nor the end result. The Department Of Justice noted that the weapons specifically listed in the ban are used in only a small fraction of all guns crimes based on BATF trace requests. Despite reports that Holder is retreating on the pledge to reinstate the gun ban, there is no doubt that his desire is to make it permanent as soon as the political climate allows for it. As gun owners and citizens concerned about our rights, we must make sure that moment doesn’t arrive. Take a look at this detail from the assault weapons ban that Holder and Obama would like to make law: `(L) A semiautomatic rifle or shotgun originally designed for military or law enforcement use, or a firearm based on the design of such a firearm, that is not particularly suitable for sporting purposes, as determined by the Attorney General. In making the determination, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that a firearm procured for use by the United States military or any Federal law enforcement agency is not particularly suitable for sporting purposes, and a firearm shall not be determined to be particularly suitable for sporting purposes solely because the firearm is suitable for use in a sporting event.'. Yes. Any semi-automatic weapon used by military or federal law enforcement cannot be owned by civilians and the Attorney General, at any time, can decide that a weapon (and any copies), are not suitable for “sporting purposes” and ban it under this provision. Think long and hard as to the number of firearms that this will cover combined with the attitude Eric Holder-AG has towards firearms and the general public. He can be absolute in his abuse of power with no immediate recourse for those it will truly affect. In John Ross’ book “Unintended Consequences” he wrote “Guns are an important element of any truly free society, for a society that does not trust its citizens with individually owned weapons really does not trust its citizens.” The right to keep and bear arms was perceived to be so important to our freedom and liberties that the Founding Fathers decided only freedom of speech would precede it. The Assault Weapons Ban is nothing more than a direct attack on that freedom poorly disguised as a crime prevention bill. Telling law abiding Americans when, where, how and in what capacity we have a right to exercise our liberties has nothing to do with crime. I know a number of you just went “Duh… No really” but how many of you have spoken up to your governing bodies as to your indignation of the fact that they do not trust you? We, as gun owners and a free people, need to speak loudly and clearly. We will not accept our Government dictating our individual rights to us. We must work to make sure that this resurrected bill never sees the light of day. The time to act is not after the fact. Contact your representatives, do it from a position of respect, and remind them that they are not Demigods, they are our employees and we pay them a salary to serve our interests, not their own, and like any employee that is not serving the best interests and spirit of the Company, they will be fired. - Derek A. Reeves

what does the word assault mean?
As determined by the Attorney General. Those words are carte blanche to call it anyway he wishes. This is not the rule of law but tyranny. "From my cold dead hands."
where did from my cold dead hands come from and why is it relevant today.
They can make up all the gun laws they want. Are they that stupid to think that 80 million citizens that own over 250 million guns,and still buying,are doing so just to turn them into a mofia driven government? I don't think so. "Stupid" is as new jersys new one gun a month law . Written by the "smart "government,presented to and signed by the"smart" governor. It took the citizens to bring to their attention that The new law would also limit all licensed gun dealers to purchase only one gun per month. AMAZING!!!!!
why do you need more than one gun a month.
Never forget you are dealing with Socialists who hate freedom and our Constitution. If you have guns, be very careful who you let know about them. Obama and his thug-ocracy will attempt to take over control of America as soon as they think they can get away with it. But they wil TRY!
how do you know they are socialist
Is patrick88 serious? Anyways... This might or might not come as a surprise to anyone, but if you are against anything that this or past administrations have conjured up to try and suffocate the Liberty of this Country, I ask you to take a look at all Union policies and the thug antics they solemnly swear by to get their way. When you start looking, these two subjects go hand in hand. Ok, getting that out of the way. Really, is patrick88 serious!? It is no shock this administration wants all control over this country and its habitants. If left alone they will succeed. The classification of certain types of firearms is irrelevent. It doesn't matter to them. They only want control. For without an armed populace, it would be easier to completely take over.
In the event that Patrick88 is really ignorant and asking for information, please read "Paul Revere's Ride" by David Hackett Fischer.
Freedom doesn't agree with government limiting us to only with what they think we need.
Yea, Patrick 88 is serious.no one has taught him the facts of life.As long as they make new models of guns,I need it.because I have a craveing for them.Like a dependency.Patric 88 probably knows more about dependency than I . You see, medical marijuana,is the same as marijuana."Tools of freedom," is the same as "guns".
On the socialism question,ask a Jew,I'am a german and if you Patrick, are truely serious,join the N.R.A. and subscribe to the Freedom Magizine, and join the Heritage Foundation.You have these and other organizations defending your behind.show some respect.
are you saying obama is hitler
Ok. I just had to come back to this site to check something out. I think it would be in everyones best intrest to not say anything toward patrick88. I've seen this before on other sites. Not expressly him, but other postings. He might be what they call a troll. They work for the elected hypocrits and anti-groups and cruise these sites trying to provoke incriminating remarks that MIGHT be used against you in the name of National Security.
not provoking anything im self employed.
just asking a question that no one can answer it seems.
The scariest part of the AWB to me, is that I know that all of the bravado talk is hollow. From my cold dead hands? Give me a break! In 1999, I worked the petition drive to get the AWB on the ballot in kalifornia, so we could vote on it. I was totally surprised at how many gun show attendees would not sign the petition. We did not get the chance to vote on it because most gun owners would not get involved! Do I think there will be any trouble when they start confiscating guns? No, no trouble at all. If gun owners won't take the safe and democratic route, they'll simply turn them in when the AG says so! That's the scariest part.
To patrick the troll:
"what does the word assault mean?"----- Buy a dictionary.
"where did from my cold dead hands come from and why is it relevant today."---- Charlton Heston, and it has been relevant through our entire history, as it is today. Buy a history book.
"why do you need more than one gun a month."--- It's nobody's d@mn business how any American excercizes his God given freedoms. The very nature of your question indicates your hostility toward liberty.
"how do you know they are socialist"--- Buy and consult a dictionary, and a book of history. Then read the Communist Manifesto since you probably believe in it's principles. You will find that the Democrat platform comports with it quite nicely.
"are you saying obama is hitler"---- That's a question only an idiot leftist could pose, and of course it is addressed to someone who said no such thing. Hitler was, however, a socialist.
"not provoking anything im self employed."--- In other words, you are unemployable and living in your mother's basement, with nothing better to do than annoy your betters.
There, all your questions answered, though you are only barely worth the time.
the only thing going on here is that the right is a bunch of ignorant bible thumpers who dont know history!
Thanks Patric Henry for your piece.What the hell does #88 think the Bible is if not the oldest history book in existance. I'll bet this guy is allowed to vote. Thats the scarey part.
mr henry doesnt have a clue if he did he would not have wrote what he did
patrick, please find another site for your ignorance!!! if you do not like my wonderful 2nd ammendmant right, then put your bong down, get your lazy non workin ass out of your moms basement and move where there are no civilian gun ownership!!! if my bro's & i could locate you, you're last comment would have you wishin you owned a very powerful, hi capacity handgun!!!!!! hope i run in to ya one of these beautiful day's!!
billy you and every one on this web site that thinks the way you do are the exact reasons the left can pass gun control.united we stand divided we fall!
Pattrick. When you say united we stand i get the feeling you mean new world order.:)- Why are socialess scared of god while your thinking about that let me ask you this also why they scared of gun owners also. I can tell you why thats the two that could put the end to the control freaks. Oh yeah report this back DJH says if you want him he said come get him.
no djh i mean we as gun owners need to stand together.this pitting the right against the left is not going to get us anywhere.if we can get rid of this hate we can get what we want which is to keep our guns and hunting freedom!
ASSault weapon has been redefined as any gun that doesn't look like a "sportsman's gun", or carries more than 10 rounds. That way, they got hunters and target shooters, target shooters and clay pigeoneers, clay pigeoneers and hunters, all fighting amongst themselves. They devised this strategy to divide and conquer. They are very clever and will succeed in taking away our guns, when they make us believe that the other gun owners are not sportsmen. Get it now and get it good! We are all sportsmen in our own right, in our own shooting and hunting skills. And vote, against any politician that says anything negative about our gun rights! That includes any politician that identifies gun owners as "the right", or tries any other name calling. That BS does not work with me!
well said gbrockon!
Patrick88:
Suggest you read about the National Socialists in 1930's Germany. The parallels with todays lefties are strikingly similar. Sorry also that you don't understand the history of our country and that of tyranny down through the ages. Liberty and Freedom are precious commodities and have to constantly be fought for. Question: Which political persuasion wants no firearms in the hands of the citizens of the US?
well ruck if you read the above you would know.
hey ruck ask billy.
patrick88:
Are you truly this illiterate or is this a pose? I'm unsure.
hey ruck lets quit name calling it does not get us any where.if you see what billy wrote that is the reason that the right is not going to get any where on gun laws.
Patrick88:
Answer the question. Genuinely interested in the answer.
hey ruck the germans werent the first to use consentration camps we did it to the indians.its the right because to many of you think like billybowfreak69!
Patrick88:
Why are you on this website if all this upsets you so? Your muddled logic has folks wondering about your mind.
not upset ruck it cant all be about the right my mind is fine we just need to work together on gun control. the right and left gun owners need to band together to fight the extream left and right!
We dont need to fight the left or right we need to fight for control of our personal freedoms and not let big brother tell us what we can and can not do all the time. You are right about the germans they used american goverment tatics againts indians as there own tatics in the campaign againts jews. So yes our goverment has more blood on its hands then hitlers but our goverment knows the power of mass media and they are the best at using the mass media to brain wash most of the population into beliving what ever they choose. Like kill off the indians or take over the middle east but americans are starting to see the truth and are starting to think on there own. Our goverment is scared because they are lossing control and support now they want our guns befor this nations people get fed up and do something about it.
