Gun-ban list proposed

Slipping below the radar (or under the short-term memory cap), the Democrats

have already leaked a gun-ban list, even under the Bush administration when

they knew full well it had no chance of passage (HR 1022, 110th Congress).

It serves as a framework for the new list the Brady's plan to introduce

shortly.

I have an outline of the Brady's current plans and targets of opportunity,

It's horrific. They're going after the courts, regulatory agencies, firearms

dealers and statutes in an all out effort to restrict we the people. They've

made little mention of criminals.

Now more than ever, attention to the entire Bill of Rights is critical. Gun

bans will impact our freedoms under search and seizure, due process,

confiscated property, states' rights, free speech, right to assemble and

more, in addition to the Second Amendment.

The Democrats current gun-ban-list proposal (final list will be worse):

Rifles (or copies or duplicates):

M1 Carbine, Sturm Ruger Mini-14, AR-15, Bushmaster XM15, Armalite M15,

AR-10, Thompson 1927, Thompson M1; AK, AKM, AKS, AK-47, AK-74, ARM, MAK90,

NHM 90, NHM 91, SA 85, SA 93, VEPR; Olympic Arms PCR; AR70, Calico Liberty,

Dragunov SVD Sniper Rifle or Dragunov SVU, Fabrique National FN/FAL, FN/LAR,

or FNC, Hi-Point Carbine, HK-91, HK-93, HK-94, HK-PSG-1, Thompson 1927

Commando, Kel-Tec Sub Rifle; Saiga, SAR-8, SAR-4800, SKS with detachable

magazine, SLG 95, SLR

95 or 96, Steyr AU, Tavor, Uzi, Galil and Uzi Sporter, Galil Sporter, or

Galil Sniper Rifle (Galatz).

Pistols (or copies or duplicates):

Calico M-110, MAC-10, MAC-11, or MPA3, Olympic Arms OA, TEC-9, TEC-DC9,

TEC-22 Scorpion, or AB-10, Uzi.

Shotguns (or copies or duplicates):

Armscor 30 BG, SPAS 12 or LAW 12, Striker 12, Streetsweeper.

Catch-all category (for anything missed or new designs):

A semiautomatic rifle that accepts a detachable magazine and has (i) a

folding or telescoping stock, (ii) a threaded barrel, (iii) a pistol grip

(which includes ANYTHING that can serve as a grip, see below), (iv) a

forward grip; or a barrel shroud.

Any semiautomatic rifle with a fixed magazine that can accept more than 10

rounds (except tubular magazine .22 rimfire rifles).

A semiautomatic pistol that has the ability to accept a detachable magazine,

and has (i) a second pistol grip, (ii) a threaded barrel, (iii) a barrel

shroud or (iv) can accept a detachable magazine outside of the pistol grip,

and (v) a semiautomatic pistol with a fixed magazine that can accept more

than 10 rounds.

A semiautomatic shotgun with (i) a folding or telescoping stock, (ii) a

pistol grip (see definition below), (iii) the ability to accept a detachable

magazine or a fixed magazine capacity of more than 5 rounds, and (iv) a

shotgun with a revolving cylinder.

Frames or receivers for the above are included, along with conversion kits.

Attorney General gets carte blanche to ban guns at will:

Under the proposal, the U.S. Attorney General can add any "semiautomatic

rifle or shotgun originally designed for military or law enforcement use, or

a firearm based on the design of such a firearm, that is not particularly

suitable for sporting purposes, as determined by the Attorney General." Note

that Obama's pick for this office (Eric Holder, confirmation hearing set for

Jan. 15) wrote a brief in the Heller case supporting the position that you

have no right to have a working firearm in your own home.

In making this determination, the bill says, "there shall be a rebuttable

presumption that a firearm procured for use by the United States military or

any federal law enforcement agency is not particularly suitable for sporting

purposes, and a firearm shall not be determined to be particularly suitable

for sporting purposes solely because the firearm is suitable for use in a

sporting event."

In plain English this means that ANY firearm ever obtained by federal

officers or the military is not suitable for the public.

The last part is particularly clever, stating that a firearm doesn't have a

sporting purpose just because it can be used for sporting purpose -- is that

devious or what? And of course, "sporting purpose" is a rights infringement

with no constitutional or historical support whatsoever, invented by

domestic enemies of the right to keep and bear arms to further their cause

of disarming the innocent.
