I agree with you there, but what consernes the crap out of me, is the democratic legislators and the anti-gun republicans either in office, or about to enter office....

What we've got right now, is a Demacratic majority Congress. Now next January we'll have a President that is anti-gun too. Looking at all the potential candidates, Juliani, Clinton, Obama all have strong anti-gun stances. It would seem to me that right now is a great time to push a piece of crap legislation through.

If we get a POTUS thats anti-gun like Clinton, AND a majority anti-gun congress.... we're screwed. Reguardless of how unconstitutional the law is, the FFL's are done. The SOT's are now non-existant (except for the big ones that have lots of police/military contracts), and we'll be telling our great grand kids of the joys we had shooting pre-ban weapons... As this ban doesn't have a sunset.

This bill is dangerous! Exceptionally so. We cannot sit by doing nothing while this thing gains more and more speed.

We should all be very conserned! We stand to loose ALL of our firearm freedoms.. unless you want a single shot derringer or can have fun with a sling-shot?

How about accessories? You can kiss private ownership of weapon mounted lights (as the weapons to mount them on are now banned), extended mags... (being this law says that all mags over 10 rounds are illegal, reguardless of date of manufacture). ANY firearm that can either have, or be adapted to have a forward ability for a grip, or a weapon that is capable of having a rear grip... even thumb-hole stocks are out.... Say goodbuy to the AR series/AK's/SAS's/H&K's/most shotguns/pistols with light rails/any rifle capable of accepting a mag (as this is labled as being a forward grip according to the law)... etc.. the list goes on and on and on...

This doesn't specify NFA, but it could be rolled into it as well. Now people have to destroy or sell to an SOT their transferables. NO SOT is going to give these people 10k for a banned MP5 that they cant re-sell.... People would be lucky to get 2k for their 18k+ SMG. Then what are the SOT's going to do with them? Sell them to LE Units? Yea right... many of the transferable MP5's out there now were prior LE trade ins...

This really sucks.....
