"Sneak" Amendment: Standard Capacity Magazines To Be Banned (I.L.A.)

Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) have proposed an amendment to the "Cybersecurity Act" to ban standard capacity magazines.
The amendment would ban import, possession, and transfer of magazines that accept (or could be readily converted to accept) more than ten rounds and that are manufactured after the enactment of the amendment... This amendment is similar to the ban imposed by the Clinton Administration that expired when the failed semi-auto ban ended in 2004, but more restrictive... Firearms designed to use magazines that hold more than 10 rounds are among the most commonly owned and used self-defense guns today. Millions of such magazines are in circulation amongst law-abiding people. Indeed, they are the overwhelming choice of state and local police departments nationwide, contradicting ban supporters' claim that such magazines are only suitable for use in crime. The amendment provides for fines and up to 10 years in prison for violations. That is double the possible prison term under the 1994-2004 ban...

The way this is written, it would ban not just the mags, but any firearms that accept them, in essence a sweeping gun ban. Here we go again. The usual suspects, such as these two notorious haters of the law-abiding owning firearms, wasted no time dancing in the blood of the dead, taking advantage of the latest "crisis" to push their elitist agenda. What is different this time out are the "Republican" and "Conservatives" who have turned coat and jumped on this bandwagon. In fact, it is no great secret that these individuals have always been hostile to the "little people" exercising firearms rights, they merely let their mask slip a bit. This is a good thing, because their supporters will now see they indeed, as the old saying goes "Speak with Forked Tongue".  Bill "Phone Sex" O' Reilly, ignorant about firearms and the law, shows just how much by going on a shouting confrontation against a pro-rights Politician. Supreme Court Justice Scalia goes public and ends up with foot in mouth. Overseas born media monopolizer Rupert Murdoch comes out of the British Colonial closet demanding "gun controls" (Watch this attitude filter down to the media outlets he controls in short order). Editor Bill Kristol joined in, as did the former Beatnik turned faux conservative (to cash in with a radio show), Michael "Weiner" Savage (who has in the past bragged about owning an AR-15 Rifle) "suddenly" advocates a ban. There are others also. Something evil is on the horizon, Kids...(S9)

Rebuttal:"Your Comment is awaiting Moderation" (Snake9 Bares Fangs)

Snake9 says: Your comment is awaiting moderation.

You used the term “semi-automatic assault weapon”. That tells me all I need to know about your orientation. The fact you use such flawed nomenclature shows your ignorance of firearms (and don’t throw that “safety device” jive at me either, it gives you no credibility in light of what you said). You are playing that shopworn game of bait & switch by casting a simple semi-auto firearm as a machine-gun, scaring the gullible by the way a firearm looks (military clone) rather than it’s function (Just like Obama did the other day speaking in front of the anti-gun Urban League, using the “AK-47″ propaganda buzzword. This from the guy who arms murderous Mexican Drug Cartels to justify a gun ban in the USA?). That dynamic is similar to racism, discriminating against someone based on the way they look. No military in the world issues semi-automatic firearms to their troops for combat, none (!). Military firearms are selective fire, hence “machine gun” capable. You may be able to fool the rubes with your talk of “reasoned debate”, but you are not fooling me or any like me. “Reasoned debate” for you means “accept my view without question”. One thing that puts a burr under the saddle of law-abiding gun owners is people who have no knowledge or flawed knowledge about firearms, (have been and) are, hell bent on writing anti-gun “laws”, and beat the drum for firearms prohibition. Literally the least qualified people to do so are the biggest advocates, and firearms “laws” and “bans” reflect that ignorance. Have you heard the story about how a certain politician had her staffers pick up a copy of “Shotgun News” and they went page by page, pointing out rifles they did not like the look of and made a list of them, which later became the rifles to be banned?. The unending attack on semi-auto firearms is a useful scam to frighten the citizens and great for raising your public profile with resultant effect on your career. Diane Feinstien, Bloomberg, Leland Yee, Chuckie Schumer, and let us not forget Clinton; all being examples of fat-cat politicians profiting by beating down legal gun owners while going soft on hardcore criminals. Look at Sacramento, where scores of meddling faux “do-gooders” are wasting time flogging hapless legal gun owners instead of working on real issues, like the budget. Doped up street criminals, gang bangers, and hot heads with poor impulse control are carrying and perpetrating without fear because they know their prey is unable to fight back in self-defense, due to politicians and District Attorney’s that will go after and lock up a law-abiding citizen armed for self defense faster and harder than career criminals like themselves (who revolve in and out of prison regularly and have no fear of it. They just get another “hot gun” when they get out and go back to “work”. Stop investing these goblins with feelings they do not have, such as regard for human life. Righteous Cops know this, the rest of the “Justice” system refuses to believe it due to their utopian worldview. Fact: There are some people that need to be locked away from society to protect it). What you and your ilk are selling is smelling, and I am not the only one who is not buying it. Not everyone out here is as stupid and easily manipulated as you hope we should be…

Codrea: Obama floating new semi-auto ban puts administration intent on the radar

“Obama told the National Urban League here that he believes a lot of gun owners would agree that ‘AK-47s belong in the hands of soldiers,’ not civilians on American streets,” ... offering the first official renewal of a “jewel in the crown” goal he’d articulated and then had scrubbed from the White House website (noting that history has conveniently been sealed from Internet Archive “Wayback Machine” searches). Also gone from the official record were his plans to exploit trace data, implement more federal edicts, end private sales, and mandate defensive gun use impediments under the guise of “childproofing.”
So naturally, early in his term, the administration and its allies were quick with the damage control when Attorney General Eric Holder let slip that a renewed “assault weapons ban” was in the works ...

Yeah, the "Gun-Hater In Chief" said it, and did it in front of a crowd of sorrowful dupes (who are linked to the leftist pro-gun control "Coalition to stop gun violence") certain to loudly applaud such intentionally deceptive propaganda statements as a reflex. Give a Dog a Bad name (AK-47/AR-15) and feel free to beat the stuffing out of that straw man. The shopworn "bait & switch" tactic of mind-morphing simple civilianized Semi-Auto military clone lookalike rifles with actual military/police  selective-fire fully automatic "machine-guns", pulls firearms ignorant gullible fools into a fantasy-land where semi-automatic means machine gun, a factual impossibility. I am compelled to say the obvious yet again for the dim-bulbs out there, to whom truth is an elusive quality when lies are more comforting... *Knock-Knock*: NO MILITARY IN THE WORLD ARM THEIR TROOPS WITH SEMI-AUTOMATIC RIFLES FOR COMBAT. To assert so, nauseatingly and repetitively as the anti-gun talking point handbook advises, is not only a LIE, but a DAMMED LIE. So, Dear readers, how stupid are you going to let yourself be taken for?. Oh, Ye' Suckerzzzzzz'!...(S9)

World’s first 3D-printed AR-15 Pattern Receiver (.22 Rimfire)

HaveBlue’s custom creation is a .22-caliber pistol, formed from a 3D-printed AR-15 (M16) lower receiver, and a normal, commercial upper. In other words, the main body of the gun is plastic, while the chamber — where the bullets are actually struck — is solid metal.
The lower receiver was created using a fairly old school Stratasys 3D printer, using a normal plastic resin. HaveBlue estimates that it cost around $30 of resin to create the lower receiver, but “Makerbots and the other low cost printers exploding onto the market would bring the cost down to perhaps $10.” Commercial, off-the-shelf assault rifle lower receivers are a lot more expensive. If you want to print your own AR-15 lower receiver, HaveBlue has uploaded the schematic to Thingiverse.
... the lower receiver — in a legal sense at least — is what actually constitutes a firearm. Without a lower receiver, the gun would not work; thus, the receiver is the actual legally-controlled part...

 The anti-gun nuts who have flatulated their usual lies and propaganda as of late, dancing in the blood of the Colorado victims are really going to have fits over this technological development, especially since this is their second favorite whipping boy to lie about: The AR-15 pattern (the first being of course the AK/Kalashnikov pattern). There is cruel irony here, that the regime sent similar firearms into Mexico to justify a semi-auto ban in the USA over the dead bodies of thousands of innocent Mexicans, and now happy over the murder of innocents in Colorado providing another excuse to advocate for the same, will now have to try and figure how to demonize and "ban" 3D printers, resin, and Yankee ingenuity...Haters gonna Hate no matter what (including the Gun-Hater in Chief, who lied about AK-47's, casting them as "machine-guns", the usual tactic). They will never understand that the genie is out of the bottle, and trying to ban firearms features in order to turn back technology is living in a "flat-earth" mentality fools paradise... (S9)

Bastrop police receive Humvee, M-16 rifles from feds

The 1033 Program gave away almost $500 million in leftover military equipment to law enforcement in fiscal year 2011.
Helicopters, military robots and M-16 rifles have been some of the equipment police and sheriff's departments have received. Other equipment includes ambulances and armored personnel carriers that can be used by SWAT teams. Ballistic helmets and vests, NOMEX fire retardant suits, boots, wet and cold-weather clothing, binoculars, radios, camcorders, and TV/VCR combinations used for tactical and intelligence gathering operations have also been doled out under the program.
Blake said the Humvee had a sticker on it that listed its value at $42,500; it has only 5,000 miles on it. That bonanza would be added to the 10 M-16 rifles the department recently acquired through the same program, a value of an additional $12,000.
"The Humvee is ours to use as long as we have a use for it, but it remains the property of the U.S. government," Blake said.

DOJ Study Fails to Show 1994 "Assault Weapons" Ban Worked (2AMPD)

To understand if reinstating the “assault weapons” ban would be effective, we should look at what an assault weapon is and the effects of the decade-long ban that was in place from 1994 to 2004.
Prior to the adoption of the assault weapons ban (AWB) in the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, there wasn’t a specific definition of an assault weapon. The closest thing to an assault weapon would be an assault rifle, which is a short-barrel (under 16 inches) which can shoot in semi-automatic (one bullet with each pull of the trigger), select-fire (usually 3 bullets with each pull of the trigger), or fully-automatic (multiple bullets with each pull of the trigger).
Sale, ownership, and possession of firearms that can use select-fire or are fully-automatic is controlled through the National Firearms Act (NFA) of 1968. The AWB covered a different set of firearms from those covered by the NFA of 1968. A small part of the 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, the ban prohibited the sale and manufacture of:

(B) a semiautomatic rifle that has an ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least 2 of–
(i) a folding or telescoping stock;
(ii) a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon;
(iii) a bayonet mount;
(iv) a flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor; and
(v) a grenade launcher;
(C) a semiautomatic pistol that has an ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least 2 of–
(i) an ammunition magazine that attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip;
(ii) a threaded barrel capable of accepting a barrel extender, flash suppressor, forward handgrip, or silencer;
(iii) a shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles, the barrel and that permits the shooter to hold the firearm with the nontrigger hand without being burned;
(iv) a manufactured weight of 50 ounces or more when the pistol is unloaded; and
(v) a semiautomatic version of an automatic firearm; and
(D) a semiautomatic shotgun that has at least 2 of–
(i) a folding or telescoping stock;
(ii) a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon;
(iii) a fixed magazine capacity in excess of 5 rounds; and
(iv) an ability to accept a detachable magazine.

The most popular of the so-called assault weapons sold in the US are the AR-15-style models (Despite allegations to the contrary, the AR refers to Armalite, the original manufacturer, not “assault rifle.”) Undoubtedly there are some that purchase them because they are “military style,” but much of the popularity comes from the versatility. The design of the rifles is modular, making customizing and changing configuration very easy. Because most of the parts for the AR-style models are standardized, there are a plethora of accessories available.
Though reputed to be “high-power,” the AR-15 ammunition isn’t. The development of the ammunition, and hence, the rifle, came from the need for the military to carry lighter ammunition than the .308 caliber used in the M-1 rifle the AR-15 replaced. If we look at ammunition power, the .223 caliber that the AR uses is actually fairly low, as is the diameter of the bullet itself. Ammunition power is measured in foot-pounds (ft/lbs). A review of some of the energy data from Hornady, a major manufacturer of ammunition shows that the AR-15 .223 caliber is not particularly high powered. For comparison, .308 (the caliber of the M-1 the AR replaced) and 30-06, a traditional hunting caliber are listed:

.223 – 1,282 ft/lbs

.308 – 2,446 ft/lbs

30-06 – 3,178 ft/lbs

One distinct advantage we have to decide whether reinstating the AWB would be effective is the benefit of empirical evidence. Part of the law enabling the AWB also required the Department of Justice to look at the effect of the ban on crime before and after the decade that it was in place. The study failed to show a significant impact on “assault weapon” use or support the allegation that large capacity magazines lead to more murders.
Mass murders are tragic and, fortunately, rare. There is no data to support the notion that reinstating an AWB will prevent further tragedies. In fact, two of the largest mass murders in US history, the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center towers and Pentagon, and the Oklahoma City  Federal Building bombing did not even involve firearms...

Ultimately points to the facts anti-gun nuts, who eagerly await such mass shootings, hate: Guns are not the "weapon of choice" for mass-murderers(!). The only correction I would make is that the AR-15 replaced the M-14 Rifle, not the earlier WW-2/Korean War era M-1 Rifle (probably a typo). Remember this when the Feinstien and Co group spew propaganda on cue shortly. Otherwise, Nuff' Said as above....(S9)

Radio: Hate, Lies & Propaganda in Wake of Colorado (Example)

Anybody can buy machine-guns and powerful Glock handguns..."Assault weapons" are readily available...He had a 100 round clip...This is an American phenomenon...The British think we are crazy, they have guns in England to hunt rabbits, not powerful handguns and "Assault Weapons"...NRA Wayne LaPierre wants mentally ill people to have guns, even hand-grenades...
These and other hyperbolic, totally IGNORANT comments were made on a local radio program I was listening to on a road trip back home today (Not a lot of variety on my car radio out there). Steam was coming out of my ears at this claptrap the female host and a "Psychologist" she had on the show were spouting. I predicted this type of hatred and lies would be coming when I posted on Friday. It did not take long to manifest, and the gullible drones calling in were eating this stuff up, mindlessly agreeing that such balderdash was true. As I alluded to before, not once are similar massacres in "Gun-Control Paradises" such as Norway, England, France, Israel, etc ever mentioned by these people.  No,  it always an "American Problem", this is an outright and convenient slam the lying America haters love to propagate to the gullible. Hand Grenades? Really?. They know full well that is an absurd claim, but it is OK to cast NRA as negatively as possible, even when using an outright lie to do so. Who cares what a bunch of royalist Brits think?. They look down on Americans as a reflex. That's why we ran them off when they came for our weapons (Concord, Look it up, gun grabbers). Only an American with the same mindset (i.e. "Elitist") would use such an argument, so that tells you all you need to know about these individuals. Not to mention thousands of British ex-gunowners (That had their firearms illegally confiscated) who are the first to say just the opposite, and on the record, being "allowed" Elmer Fudd guns notwithstanding (Bans are not slowing down the AK-'s Brit street gangs have in quantity, smuggled from the Balkans and Albania!).  No, this is a propaganda war, with lies of omission and commission by the anti-freedom camp, who are permitted to use any underhanded tactic to smear the pro-freedom side, who are hamstrung by sticking to truth and facts. The fight against ignorance continues...(S9)

Video: ‘Bullet Button’ Supporters Intensify Campaign Against State Sen. Yee

Here is the most recent (biased) video created by the local CBS station. Yellow Journalism at it's "best"...(S9)

‘Bullet Button’ Supporters Intensify Campaign Against State Sen. Yee

"Neutered" CA Rifle

From billboards to merchandise, the attack on State Senator Leland Yee’s gun control bill SB 249 is organized, and getting vicious. His office is getting threatening calls, with some telling him to go back to communist China and other racially charged statements.
“Unfortunately there are many individuals in the state and in this country that look to the bill that I am carrying as really un-American. And I will tell you that I am probably as American as anyone else,” Yee said...
We discovered it all came down to a tiny device called a bullet button. It allows one to quickly detach a magazine, even though under California law detachable magazines in combination with other features are illegal.
But under California regulations, the bullet button makes a gun’s magazine “fixed” and therefore legal, because one needs a tool, such as the tip of a bullet, to detach it.
Yee’s bill originally sought to ban the bullet button. But he recently amended the bill to ban only conversion kits such as the “mag magnet,” a hot seller at gun shows, that makes a bullet button even easier to use.
CBS 5 asked Yee: “The bill doesn’t address the bullet part, just the magnet. Why the change?”
The senator answered: “Given all the opposition we have had thus far, I think that this probably would be a way that we can craft a bill that would pass muster.”
But gun rights advocates are still against Yee’s measure. “This is a misguided gun control bill that is only going to further complicate California’s already draconian gun control laws,” said Yih Chau Chang. He runs Responsible Citizens of California, a group that advocates for the right to carry firearms.
Even if it passes, Chang said, “It will do nothing to stop either the mag magnet or the bullet button.”
In this case, even leading gun control organizations agree. “Even if Senator Yee’s legislation is passed, there would still be a whole bunch of guns that it doesn’t apply to,” said Dan Gross, President of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. If approved, firearms with factory-installed bullet buttons would still be legal. All the major manufacturers are making them and gun stores all over the Bay Area are selling them...Meanwhile, the gun rights group Calguns has already sued the California Department of Justice in federal court, claiming the law is unconstitutionally vague.

If you watch the video of the original television "report" by these people I posted (see below) and compare it to this one, the hypocritical change in tone is obvious. These people are reveling in the crap they have stirred up to "fix" a non-existent problem. It is a disgusting spectacle watching this biased so-called "reporter" and his faked "I'm a hard hitting journalist" act. These people are not fooling any informed citizen, who knows they are all anti-gun nuts, the only difference being a matter of degree. Equally disgusting is Yee playing the "race card" (and the TV copy exploiting it), yet he is the one attempting to step on others rights(!). The ultimate irony is that California's outrageous firearms regulations are NOT being emulated by the rest of the states, the majority who, for example, see no point in arbitrarily banning a simple magazine release button (and unmutilated rifles are sold).  The stupidity and uselessness of the petit tyrannical SB 249 must be fought against tooth and nail, as all anti-gun laws being pushed in California should. Support Calguns. See link at sidebar of this page. - (S9)

U.S. BATFE brought in for Firearms clampdown in Australia

State and federal governments on Friday announced a major crackdown on the trade and possession of illegal weapons.

Federal Justice and Home Affairs Minister Jason Clare says the federal government will introduce legislation to create a maximum penalty of life in prison for people involved in the aggravated trafficking of firearms into Australia or across state borders....Mr Clare said..."That means making it easier to seize these weapons, breaking the code of silence that terrifies people to tell the police where firearms are...

He committed to funding the US Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agency to come to Australia to train police in tracing and tracking firearms....

There will also be a national roll-out of a firearms tracking system currently in use in NSW and the ACT...

The governments also reached an in-principle agreement to implement a national firearms register...

The move follows a major investigation into illegal firearms that found there were more than 250,000 illicit firearms in Australia...

California: Anti-Gun Bills, Including an Attack on Many Semi-Automatic Firearms, to be Heard in Sacramento

If you think it is hard to own and possess a semi-automatic firearm in California now, Senate Bill 249, if enacted, would ban the ownership and possession of AR-15s and other magazine-fed semi-automatic firearms that currently use "bullet buttons" or other tools to restrict the removal of the magazine.  This anti-gun bill would also authorize civil and criminal penalties for possessing a "conversion kit."

SB 249 was amended from an agriculture bill into a very serious anti-gun bill to eliminate the ownership and possession of most semi-automatic firearms by law-abiding Californians.  SB 249, introduced by state Senator Leland Yee (D-8), would restrict any person from importing, making, selling, loaning, transferring or possessing magazine release components in semi-auto firearms (bullet button, etc).

But this nonsensical bill does not stop there in trying to eliminate semi-automatic firearms in California. 

SB 249 would make the possession of a "conversion kit" a public nuisance, authorize civil and criminal penalties and require surrendering the conversion kit.  According to this bill, a conversion kit is any combination of parts that, when affixed to a firearm with a fixed magazine, are designed and intended to convert that firearm into an “assault weapon” as defined in the bill.  SB 249 is currently being amended again and no one is clear on what amended language will ultimately be voted on.  Regardless of what this bill looks like in the end, SB 249 is a pure anti-gun bill and MUST BE DEFEATED.

SB 249 is expected to be heard and voted on tomorrow in the Assembly Public Safety Committee.  This is also the deadline for ALL legislation to pass or fail in the state Senate and Assembly policy committees for the 2012 legislative session.  Members of the Assembly Public Safety Committee need to hear from ALL California gun owners and sportsmen urging them to OPPOSE SB 249.  Contact information for these committee members can be found here.  Senator Yee also needs to hear from California gun owners expressing their opposition to SB 249 and urge him to pull it from the agenda.  Senator Yee can be reached at 916-651-4008 and by e-mail here or at Senator.Yee@senate.ca.gov.

California has over 950 firearm laws on its books and criminals do not respect any of them.  Please urge members of the Assembly Public Safety Committee on to protect the Second Amendment rights of California’s law-abiding gun owners and sportsmen and OPPOSE SB 249.
