  • [AWB]Dems prep ground for 2014 Electoral Defeat

    So, looks like a AWB will be proposed on the first day of Congress. The Provisions Here.

    It's worth noting that it grandfathers in MSRs that are legally owned, but nothing is said about a manufactured date. So if Remington, S&W, Spikes, etc. are going nuts manufacturing the hell out of AR-15s in anticipation of jacking up prices, it won't mean diddly unless they've already been sold to the public.

    Note that she claims that the AWB was responsible for a decline in gun violence, and then ignores that gun violence continued to decline after the AWB expired.

    This AWB is substantially more harsh than existing ones in CA, NY, MA etc. It mentions "100 specifically banned by name" and "rifles that can accept a detachable magazine", which is probably intended to close the Bullet Button loophole, and prevent the sale of semi-automatics like the Mini-14 or M-14 derivatives. It also looks like you cannot "sale or transfer" grandfathered black rifles, so presumably if I fall over dead and have in a will that I want my AR to go to someone, that's a no-go.

    Meanwhile...

    The Big Box Stores are pulling MSRs from the shelves

    The article mentions Dick's specifically, but it seems Academy is pulling them as well. Major online weapons dealer CheaperThanDirt has also halted gun sales.

    And...

    Run on ammo, magazines, gun manufacturers stock tanks


    The $60 30rd mag is particularly hilarious, when you could have bought them for $13 in September
    Today, you are the waves of the Pacific, pushing ever eastward. You are the sequoias rising from the Sierra Nevada, defiant and enduring.

    It's not going to pass. With "fiscal cliff" negotiations and such the public will be pretty distracted and besides which, Republicans would never go for a bill like that.

      Over the next 2 years, every American will have at least on family member or close friend killed in gun violence. The Dems will sweep to plower for at least trying.

          And the Republicans will block Obamacare and suck all the money currently treating retardation. HC & Rex will live happily in their barracks, shooting everything that moves, for sport.

            A comment from Mark Steel today- seeing as the US seems to want guns everywhere but block socialised healthcare, is it possible that the nation has been taken over by a suicide cult?

                It's adorable that you euros will do everything in your power to ignore the obvious case against your socialized medicine.

                  Which one? The one Drake said, the one KH said, or the one Kuci said?

                    The gun stores are making out like bandits! High-capacity magazines of all types, AR-15 and AK-47 pattern parts of all types, and .223/5.56 ammo are selling out everywhere. It's amazing. I'm seeing PMAGs selling for $60 apiece on eBay. It's a complete repeat of the 2008 election.

                      ...and you ignore yours?

                          Just DaShi going with the point that HC doesn't have any original ideas and he just parrots you, Kuci and Drake.

                            I'm just jealous, is all.

                            Is it safe, reg?

                              No, but they might go for a neutered AWB that has the same restrictions as the Clinton AWB(or Cali, or MA, or, heh, CT ones) + mag capacity limit. Given that senators from states like VA(most Black Rifles per capita in the country) are jumping ship, something like that is plausible.


                              Since I'm dead set on getting a M1 Carbine this spring, and the mags for that would be affected by a Clinton/CA style AWB, I'm seriously thinking of going ahead and ordering a few 15 rd mags. Everyone is panicking and driving up prices of black reffel mags, but the cost and availability for those is unchanged ATM.
