    Get this, the Highland Park law requires that people turn in their 'assault weapon' for disposal 90 days from the effective date. That is gun grabbers taking guns.

    They have a long long list of guns by name because there is no real defining characteristic that makes them different from any rifle.

    This argument is hilarious. The ONLY reason we have ridiculous standards of gun control, is because of YOU gun-nuts! If the anti-gun people had their way, ALL these guns would be banned. ALL of them. And then you couldn't make your stupid argument, LOL.

    This is typical GOP thinking. Republicans do something to sabatage a law, so a screwed up version of the law ends up passing. And then they blame democrats for passing a screwed up law. How terrific! LOL.

    Now, now they aren't grabbing guns, they are liberating gun owners from the violent machines that have held them hostage. Everyone knows an AR15 is ready to kill at a moments notice, make the coffee too strong, it'll shoot you, don't take it for its daily walk, bam shot, leave the seat up on the toilet, your a dead man. Let's not forget guns whisper sweet nothings into the ears of their owner encouraging them to kill other people. It's time to admit liberals know better than you what's best for you, move into their home and demand they feed you. After all any good liberal would be more than willing to open up their home to anyone and everyone looking for a roof and three square meals.

    Oh, so now it's real hunters huh? :roflol:

    Sadine, you don't know Jack about rifles or hunting, because a 308 caliber in an AR-10 is exactly the same as a 308 in a Browning BAR. You are still only allowed to carry 5 total rounds in the rifle.

    The only reason people like you see an assault style weapon offensive is because it looks scary to you.

    Does this ban extend to the police and military units located in the state? After all we can't have those evil machines in the hands of anyone, they are way to dangerous.

    So you like that the SCOTUS has become a Fifith Column? Thomas Jefferson predicted this 100 years ago, when he wrote a letter to a superior justice, asking what legitimacy does the Political State have in the face of the Court's mandate? Mr. Jefferson then stated his intention to abolish the SCOTUS.

    We have reached that time where the only resolution for the Union is the Court's abolition. It has taken over political life in America, it has made itself jury, judge and executioner. It has fallen out of step and out of line with Constitutional positions and has taken positions of its own merit. The SCOTUS is now exercising the political authority that comes with being a "separate branch".

    It was a dumb idea by the Founders to put into place a system which inherently freezes and destroys political value in America. What kind of judicial system we replace the SCOTUS with remains to be seen, but the SCOTUS's legacy in America is done.

    How very unconstitutional of you.

    Since you seem to know all about it you should be able to tell us what exactly is an assault weapon and how it functions differently that other semi auto rifles.

    This post is comical.

    I would laugh at the sight of this Administration even TRYING to confiscate the 300 million guns that are already in circulation. Gun sales have rocketed. By the time Obama leaves office, there will be close to 400 million guns used by law-abiding American citizens to protect against the possibility of government tyranny in the future of this great nation.

    The left's attack on the NRA is also astonishing. It is merely a nonprofit interest group that represents those who support the Second Amendment. I know it pains you to know that it has a substantial influence on our government, but you'll just have to deal with the fact that some of us actually care about the Constitution and Bill of Rights... not just hunting and fishing.

    I don't like to imply others' lack of knowledge, but you truly are a fool for blindly supporting government oppression and usurpation on merely a partisan basis. Every powerful dictator has confiscated the people's weapons.

    All I have to say is good luck.

    IMO, I think much of their motivation is centered around hate more than anything else. They fall into the mentality that auto-hating any opposition to what progressives decide is correct is righteous. From there they just do, say & repeat whatever they've decided is justified in order to win. There's no real logic, no deep thought or intellectual debate involved.
    In this case, most progressives hate guns because they hate that guns kill people. If there was any moral basis for that argument, they'd hate cars, knives, and even pitchforks, right? But, they're affixed on hating guns right now regardless. Of course, their leaders have their own reasons for the gun control mantra, but they'll never think that deep or logical. It's far easier to just hate than to think.

    If I lived there I'd stash the guns and then call the police to report a robbery. "F" the grabbers.

    Well let this Idaho country boy convince you it is well worth trying it out. You're still only allowed 5 rounds

    I have 20 long guns, and I like using them in different situations. I have a Weatherby Mark V in 270, with a 24 inch barrel, and taking that expensive pretty gun through rough terrain and manzanita is not nearly as comfortable and convienient as my Bushmaster Magpul AR-10 with a 16 inch barrel

    There are millions in the population because we can legally own them. I would bet you probably are offended by someone owning Lamborghini Countach also. I mean really, who needs a car that can go 180 miles an hour? The answer to both is, because we can, and you are in no position to judge someone who legally buys either a AR style gun or an exotic sports car

    I just noticed the bottom part of your comment, and again, you cannot use a 30 round magazine for hunting, and if you did, you are allowed to only have 5 rounds. If you are caught with more they will take your gun. Is that clear enough for you?

    I'd like to find some obscure part of the border and hop back and forth across it while going "Felon", "Not a felon", "Felon", "Not a felon"....

    Don't confuse them with facts. They'll just call you a tool for the NRA especially considering most liberals know nothing about the NRA or it's members and even less about guns.

    Thank you! That is a question that should be asked of every hyperliberal self-defense hater who thinks he knows anything about weapons! I can take a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing pencil and assault someone with it if I'm motivated enough.

    But back to gun specifics, what these stupid, ignorant hyperlibs want to do is ban everything but single-action or bolt-action weapons, in which you have to fire one round at a time (tick-tock, tick-tock), and/or manually eject a spent shell and manually load a new cartridge. This is beyond stupidity and madness -- especially considering that the criminals are going to be using the best weapons they can lay their filthy hands on -- and those won't be weapons whose designs date back over 150 years ago! :spin:

    Don't ever confuse yourself with a health care professional, we are far more intelligent than that about firearms simply because it's a lot easier to understand the types of damage caused by the round/firearm.

    Faster rotation on the bullet? The cleaner the pass through will be.

    Hollow point round? This guy is more than likely dead from the catastrophic ripping action caused by the round.

    Rifle round? More likely to be a FMJ round than Hollow point.
    Pistol round? Probably a hollow point, might be a FMJ.
    Shotgun wound? Was it a slug? OO Buck? Birdshot?

    Please, never again.

    Now define assault weapon for us in its correct and factual language.

    Nope they are only assault weapons if they look scaaaweeee and they take "clips" instead of magazines. Clips is correct because they called them that in a movie once. Everyone knows the scarie....excuse me scaweeuh the gun is and the bigger the clip the more it should be banned.

    Do you really need a lesson on what a flash suppressor does? Are you truly this inept about it? or is it you think you know more than somebody else and your ego just won't allow you to go on in life without trying to look smarter than you really are? :roll:

    sad part is... this still won't have an effect on 95% of the shootings...

    so what problem did we actually solve?

    out of curiosity, why are the police still allowed to carry handguns that hold more than 10 rounds? I do find that fascinating, shouldn't they be subject to an ordinance?

    P.S. I'm not opposed to allowing cities to enact local laws, every city should be able to try different things, people can always move... and will...

    P.S.S. also after reading the ordinance, this essentially bans any semi-auto handgun... since they all have the capability of more than a 10 round magazine, all someone has to do is design one that fits a handgun and it would automatically now be illegal... this is kind of poorly written, they should be banning the magazines themselves, but the way this is worded, it would actually make the gun illegal if anyone manufacturers and accessory replacement magazine that holds more than 10... so literally every semi-auto handgun is illegal by default... wow poor wording in this document... I wonder how that will be enforced...

    134.010 (A) (1) (c) (v) protruding magazines... almost every gun has an accessory maker who has made a protruding magazine... so that would ban the gun itself, since the gun can accept it... so if they want to ban a gun, just design a clip that protrudes, now the gun is banned... versus the magazine being banned... see my point?

    is a revolver the only legally safe option to own? that can't be misinterpreted, as long as its under 10 shots... which shouldn't be an issue for most made...

    P.S.S.S.S.S. wow I think whats worse is you have 90 days to comply or you go to prison... how will they contact every person within the city limits to inform them of this dramatic change? a lot of people simply don't watch the news or other news sources to be informed of a "do it or go to prison" type of ordinance... thats dramatic...
