no need for high capacity magazines

all these guns really provide, in any practical sense, is the ability of the owner to fantasize about using them and to feel like a tough guy

and statistics show they will more lilkely be used by the owner on a family member, or agaisnt the owner than on an intruder

"happiness is a warm gun...bang bang shoot shoot"

sweet dreams

There are millions of those guns in circulation, you are a liar and likely nothing you say can be trusted.

And you wonder why gun owners freak out when people like you try and destroy our rights?

I think some of you are relishing the chance of a civil war.....we had doom porn now it's civil war porn...

There may have been a time when there could have been a civil war in this country, but in reality the American people with all of their firepower could not revolt and overthrow a "tyrannical government" when the overwhelming powers they have could quickly crush ANY armed revolution. more than a 100 years ago, maybe, but impossible now.

People who need more than 10 rounds are doing so first because they can, and second because there are a number of scenarios (rare/highly unlikely) where a person could be confronted with a violent mob, or group and need that capacity to defend themselves, family, neighbors, property, etc. unlikely but not impossible.

If society were to breakdown completely, and you were caught up in the chaos you may want the ability to defend yourself as well.

How many years have we been in Afghanistan now? Fighting a mostly untrained, uneducated force? Iraq? Vietnam?

One last thing..Freedom? you really think any of us are free lol you have fallen for the biggest con on the planet.
Night all.

The freedom we have was fought for against a tyrant, and it was gained through spilling of blood by a united people willing to stand their ground, fight and possibly die to gain that freedom... Rivers of blood, piles and piles of bodies.

Before we give up on any of the freedoms when have here in the USA, that should not be forgotten.

Try telling the ancestors of the fallen freedom fighters that they died for the "biggest con on the planet"

Their silly lil bans affects nothing, the black market is teaming with life, and they have no hold on FREEDOM
What they are pushing for is someone to pull another Oklahoma city, so they can put us all under Martial law.

Every time they dream of the possibility they all break out in masturbation and laugh perversely hysterically

Bitching in these forums is gonna get you exactly nowhere! Occupy has the right idea in that they have hit the streets!

If just 1% of gun owners organized and marched in DC this non sense about gun control would end over night! That said, inaction is all we will likley see!

I think if the NRA does not ask their members to stand up for their rights NOW, then they are part of this agenda!

We will look back on this day and say to our children that inaction destroyed America!

An unarmed American public will defenseles, just like the defenseless persons we see targeted in these attacks!

It's all in the planning, IMO.

Civil War would be big job creators for military, TSA and gunshop owners.

Not when the dollar crashes and big brother is bankrupt. Money buys loyality, when they cannot provide for their servants their servants will no longer be loyal.

Asside from gun control, I feel the US $ has a high chance of crashing in '13. The rest of the world knows the USD isn't worth the paper its printed on.

A cause, motive, resolve, unity, and numbers, none of which are sufficient to launch and sustain a revolution against a far superior adversary here in a "civil war"

Show me enough numbers of armed Americans willing to fight and die in a "civil war" now, then we can talk.

Until then, that is all it is, just talk.

Something to think about. What are the characteristics of the weapons carried by say....U.N. troops? Private mercs? Any force that may be brought against the American people and the world at large? That is where you should be getting the information on what to ban and what not to ban! Equality anyone?

To the poster saying that this new proposed law is the same as the law from 1994...did that law include a provision to register everyone's guns?

If that is the case, I was not aware. Can someone enlighten?

To throw in my 2 cents...this will not pass as is, but something incremental will. Also, TPTB probably have more interest in increasing tax revenue than anything else. Honest gun owners will find their lives more expensive. Criminals will do what they do.
