True as well Tom...I think the conversation is a bit one-sided right now...

Larry said it best with his awesome letter.
Until the antis- entertain the possibility of an armed guard in every school, in every district, it isn't a conversation. It is a lecture.

I haven't read through the Feinstein bill yet - been studying the NYS SAFE act.
Comment though... Quote:

The Beretta 93R was a variant of the older Beretta 92 with frame-mounted controls. I don't know how different it is internally from the Beretta 92FS with slide-mounted controls. |

This whole thing hasn't been polite enough to be called a "lecture," and I don't think the anti-2A folks will ever be satisfied. They'll be satisfied "for now," until the next opportunity. (That last word is pronounced "publicly exploitable tragedy.")

Say goodby to your slidefire stock
which is (i think) pretty clearly what Diane means to ban with that language. Don't forget, she looked at a lot of pictures of guns and accessories before writing (sorry, making her interns write) this onerous piece of legislation. So she really knows her stuff. Why, i'll bet she can tell a clip from a magazine. Well no, she probably hasn't ever seen a clip, star or stripper.
Anyway, write your congress people. make cogent, potent arguments. Unfortunately, if they have already consumed the Kool-aid, they won't listen - but tell them anyway. Each letter, email or phone call carries the representative weight of hundreds or even thousands of constituents who don't wall or write. Even a committed anti, faced with thousands of communications against a bill, might reconsider. Maybe they don't really have deeply held principles after all, save for re-election instincts.

I finally read the beast last night. Several parts caught my interest, but there was one in particular that caught my eye. I don't have my copy with me, so I'll have to paraphrase: "A 'pistol grip' means [insert a couple of particulars] or anything else that functions as a grip."
Unless I'm sadly mistaken, every gun on the market has a place where you're supposed to grip it, right? So every gun has something "that functions as a grip."

No, Al, it's not just you. I don't know about anyone else, but I always like to hold my guns when I shoot them, so I guess every one of mine has a "pistol grip" by her definition.

I'm seeing reports that the Senate Judiciary Chair rejects Dianne Feinstein's Assault Weapons Ban.

I found this quite interesting. It addresses the whole "grip" thing.

I think it's particularly baffling that a rocket launcher is listed as a naughty feature.
Is there even such a thing available to civilians? |

Thanks, GC. Here are the co-sponsors:
Blumenthal, Richard [D-CT] Boxer, Barbara [D-CA] Cardin, Benjamin [D-MD] Carper, Thomas [D-DE] Durbin, Richard [D-IL] Gillibrand, Kirsten [D-NY] Lautenberg, Frank [D-NJ] Levin, Carl [D-MI] Menéndez, Robert “Bob” [D-NJ] Mikulski, Barbara [D-MD] Murphy, Christopher [D-CT] Reed, John “Jack” [D-RI] Rockefeller, John “Jay” [D-WV] Schatz, Brian [D-HI] Schumer, Charles [D-NY] Warren, Elizabeth [D-MA] Whitehouse, Sheldon [D-RI] Franken, Al [D-MN] Hirono, Mazie [D-HI] Klobuchar, Amy [D-MN] Pretty much the usual crowd. Given that this is the Big Bonanza Must-Have Save The Children Bill of 2013, that's not a lot of support.

The analysis is that Feinstein pushing this will sink the more likely to be passed universal background checks. Due to legislative chicanery and covering your tushy - some procedures allow for wishy washy GOP and Democrats to avoid having to vote for an AWB to get background checks. But Diane F. wants the whole thing - that will force Red state and purple state legislators at risk to vote against the whole package. That will sink background checks which we know that 254% of the population of the United States totally support.
