considering that only 2% of murders in the US are commited by people using these weapons, one has to wonder about the intent of this bill's sponsors.

with any luck, this bill will not pass. i'd like to see the old assault weapons ban die too.

I can't think of anything bad coming out of this bill.. Why the hell would anyone need all this shit??? What would happen if someone broke in and stole it all?? The only reason I can think of for any of these weapons is maybe robbing a bank or protecting gang turf..

Well hell, since you can't think of a need let's just melt therm all down!

Hey, gunowners.... Bhairbas says we don't have a need for guns so we can get rid of them now.

Fuck the constitution.

That is what you get for trying to think. You most likely don't even know what half of the guns are. Furthermore since you are in Canada this doesn't affect you at all. Plenty of those guns have a purpose. The Ruger Mini-14 is a mainstay of the rancher. That is why it is known as a ranch rifle. It is an easy to use great all-around gun. This bill sucks balls! I better go buy another Mini-14 and a Mini-30 before they get banned.

I just read over the text again. They want to ban the M-1 too? WTF? This is going to far. I disagree with the full auto ban, but can understand it. Now they want to ban anything basically that can shoot more than 10 shots? This is assinine. Time to write letters to my congressman for damn sure. According to the wording, a freaking 10-22 would be illegal. Fuck this!

Then you don't know as much as you think.

Automatic weapons are in very low production and are tightly regulated.

Perhaps you mean semi-automatic weapons.

And your opinion of what is needed, is far less than worthless.

Once again a person from north of the border chimes in with the socialist bent . We agree that your goverment is soviergn , if a bit of a cowardly nation . We do not try to press laws onto canada and it is our wish that you do not do the same to us . But once again you did prove your ignorance as to the fact that few guns in the hands of anyone besides goverments are truely automatics. By any chance are you french ? * yes i know that my spelling is not up to par , however do not wish to double check n spellcheck is down*

I do think banning of assault weapons is pretty stupid. A bullet is a bullet. It doesn't matter if you get shot with a TEC-9 or a Baretta.If someone wants to go to work and shoot up everyone,I don't think having an assualt rifle or a handgun with a large clip is going to make a difference.

I couldn't agree more with that. Unless something threatens us, let others do what they want. The WOD mentality is what makes this difficult for most of our politicians. It isn't just the conservatives either. Most Dems think the same way about drugs.

they're going to keep banning more and more guns.

Then they'll have the only good ones, so if they piss us off enough for us to actually want to physically fight back, we won't be able to.

This is very basic stuff - even Hitler knew to get most of the guns away from his citizens before he started attempting to take over the world.

I remember reading something back in school about a "second amendment" - I think it had something to do with giving any American the right to own weapons; not just spit-ball-shooters; real weapons.... hmm I'm not sure though; that may have just been a dream.

I can't think of anything bad coming out of this bill.. Why the hell would anyone need all this shit??? What would happen if someone broke in and stole it all?? The only reason I can think of for any of these weapons is maybe robbing a bank or protecting gang turf..

robbing banks, stealing guns, and participating in gang shootings should be illegal and severely punished. owning a semiautomatic rifle should not.

you see, i have this crazy notion... this idea that unless your actions harm or endanger another human being, you should be allowed to do as you damn well please.... no such thing as a crime with no victim, if you will... if i own an assault rifle, and store it and shoot it responsibly, who is being harmed or endangered? who is the victim of this "crime"?

I just read the entire text of this proposed bill again, and it pisses me off even more. Especially the pistol section. That would make most of the semiautomatic handguns illegal. This bill sounds like it would make most of the guns in the country illegal. All you would be able to buy after it would be a regular old pump shotgun, bolt action type rifle, or a freaking six shooter. Damn near every semi-automatic gun would be illegal. I just picked up a Mini 14 today with 2 5 round clips, 2 20 round clips, and 2 30 round clips for $400. Pretty sweet deal. I will post some pics of it later for anyone that may be interested.

it would indeed make a hell of a lot of guns illegal. i have no doubt that it's a measure of gun control totally beyond what is allowable by any stretch of reasonable constitutional interpretations.

i'd like to be legal about any arms that i carry and own, but it's looking more and more that owning weapons and obeying the law will be exclusive events in the near future.

oh well... it's not like it'll be the only thing illegal going on...

if i've got trays of horseshit fruiting all over the place, i suppose it doesn't matter much if the rifle i own is illegal too, you know?

Yean, but getting busted with an illegal M-16 for example, will get you in deep poo poo. My roomates Dad just get a M-16A2 that was sold in '94 before the ban. It has the collapsable stock, the flash suppresor, and something else that I can't remember. It is not full auto, just single fire. This gun if not purchased before the ban is already illegal. I don't really see why though. Does the collapsable stock, make it more dangerous than one without? I don't see how. Both versions will kill just the same.

He had to get a letter from Bushmaster that states it is legal because it was made and sold before the ban. With this he could sell it to an individual if he wants. He keeps the letter with the gun at all times. Anyway, it is a sweet ass gun for sure. I am thinking about trying to trade this Mini 14 for a Mini 30 somewhere. The Mini 30 uses the 7.62 round instead of the smaller 5.56 round the M-16 and Mini 14 use. With some gunsmithing the Mini 30 can be an accurate longer range big game rifle that packs quite a bit of punch. The ammo for both of them is about the same price.

Beware of getting cheap surplus ammo for the Mini 30 - it is corrosive! Guns from the former Eastern block countries such as the SKS designed to fire the same cartridge (7.62 x 39) have chrome lined barrels so they can use the cheaper ammo. Many people consider the 7.62 x 38 (Nato aka .308) to be a superior round for hunting and the M1A Rifle is much more accurate than the Mini 30. Also, many quality hunting rifles are chambered for this round. If the M1A is too expensive for your tastes, have a look at the Remington model 7400.

Why do I disagree with everything the government does? Most of the legislation passed is horrible but once in a while they'll slip in a nugget of goodness. I don't really have a problem with the structure of the government. I guess it's the people in power that I disagree with. Some have no respect for the constitution or the bill of rights. What a country. It makes me sad.  :frown:

I think I am just going to keep the Mini 14. I found a site with a lot of info about simple gunsmithing that can be done to it to make it a lot more accurate. This gun will be for plinking and small game hunting more than anything else. I think I am going to get a 7mm Mag for a deer gun.
