Anyone think that Long guns are going to include the AR

Guys.

Please.

"Semi-auto" is just to play to the dumb sheeple.


We will the first country in the G8 have have laxed up the gun laws (assuming this bill passes).


If you think you can do more, and convince all the stupid sheeple to go along with it, why don't you run for office?

The AWB expired in the US. Doesn't that count?

Here it is:

Is that thing restricted?

Of course.

I heard that they are indeed going to de-restrict the AR-15 and reverse the prohibitions that created 12x and neutered magazines, unfortunately shortly after I heard that, my alarm went off, so I had to wake up. Seriously though - it will be a long time before we see that type of change if ever.

The legislation is pretty clear - non-restricted firearms will be removed from the registry. The AR-15 is a restricted firearm, so it will still need to be registered.

No, not really, the sunset clause was in the law from the outset, it would never have passed without it. It was pretty obvious if the Republicans held Congress in 2004 that it would expire, that was the gamble Schumer and Feinstein took, and they lost.

Not just that, but also the adoption of "must issue" CCW provisions, the law that protects gun makers from frivolous lawsuits, the various "stand your ground" provisions, and the recognition of the right to bear arms as an individual rather than collective right by AG Richard Ashcroft (for decades, the official government position was that the second amendment applied only to militias).
