But not Mini-30s. It bans Hi-point 9mm carbines. But not Ruger PC-9s. Stupid, stupid, stupid. McCarthy left out of her bill a specific AR15 by name, which surprises me, unless McCarthy has stock in the company, which wouldn't surprise me. You know, I feel sorry for her having her ex-husband and son being killed by a mentally unhinger individual, but why is it that she wants to punish me for a past crime that I had nothing to do with? And the guy didn't even use a rifle! Captain Holly Says:

We need to stop HR 1022 but all pasted and future garbage laws on both the federal level and state. How? Other than petitions, we need to hit the financial sources as well, we have the power.

While I initially fretted over the new Senate enacting new gun laws, a commenter made a pretty decent case that it is too pro-gun to pass even an identical "assault" weapons ban to the 1994 one, which an earlier "Republican" Senate narrowly voted to renew in '04. Basically, we lost one good guy (Jim Talent) to one very bad non-guy (Claire "but the fake gun groups endorse me!" McCaskill), but the rest of the Senate losses were either a pro-gun Democrat replacing a pro-gun Republican, or an anti-gun Democrat replacing an anti-gun RINO.

I will be looking forward to the provision that immediately seizes all assault weapons owned by police forces and federal agencies since they are the ones who actually end up causing a significant amount of the assault rifle-related deaths of innocent people. Despite having the training on proper uses of force and handling these weapons, SWAT units have an ugly habit of breaking into the wrong house or using these weapons in ways that would be felonious for private citizens.

I would wager it will die quite quickly. I'm watching it to see where it goes, but I'm not getting all worked up yet. For one thing I think it would be political suicide for the Dems since a number of their new members were elected on the basis of at least no new anti-2A legislation. That said, it does need watching just in case. Of course, all bets are off if the dems take all in 2008. The bill has no co-sponsers and is not likely to make it out of commitee.

I guess the only rifles the extremists will allow have a wood stock and must weigh at least thirty pounds and have only a five shot magazine. Reminds me a Kurt Vonnegut short story.
