Show organizers, facing pressure after last month’s elementary school massacre in Connecticut, agreed to bar the display and sale of AR-15 military-style semiautomatic weapons and their large-clip magazines.

“The majority of people wanted these guns out of the city,” said Chris Mathiesen, Saratoga Springs’ public safety commissioner. “They don’t want them sold in our city, and I agree. Newtown, Conn., is not that far away.”

The mayor of Barre, Vt., wants a ban on military-style assault weapons being sold at an annual gun show in February. Mayor Thom Lauzon says he supports responsible gun ownership but is making the request “as a father.” The police chief in Waterbury, Conn., just a few miles from Newtown, has halted permits for gun shows, saying he was concerned about firearms changing hands that might one day be used in a mass shooting.

I gotta say, this kind of thing makes me angry. It's wrong in so many ways, and we, the law-abiding gun owners, have to sit tight and be nice and not rock the boat while the antis get what they want on the whim of politicians.

Bullshit. People need to grow some balls.

Amerika deserve everything that is coming its way.

Sad but true.

[Irving]

Just the term "gun-crime" is stupid.

[SAnd]

It happened here. The NRA national convention was run out of Denver after the Columbine murders.

Just the term "gun-crime" is stupid.

Agreed. Kinda like hate crime.

what do you expect

[Teufelhund]

"large-clip magazines"

Could the term for magazine be bastardized any further? This one doesn't even make any goddamn sense.

[divideman]

Sad to see how easily our "leaders" crumble when faced with challenges.

"Huge capacity clips" has been my favorite so far.

Pearlmutter saying "Assault Clips" takes the cake.

[Fmedges]

The one dipshit I can't remember who saying that you have to modify your weapons to accept these high capacity clips is the worst.

Where do people get this crap?

I'd be willing to bet that if all of these gungrabbers were to be responsibly trained with and able to shoot ANY of these "assault" rifles for just one day, they'd be forever changed and trasnsformed into a gun enthusiast. Why else would they be the most popular rifle today? Maybe I have it wrong, but I just have this feeling about them. They need to be enlightened one way or another....:-)

I've turned quite a few people onto shooting but when the fear is completely irrational, it's hard to reason with them.

The thing that bothers me the most is the fact of when a show, store or whatever caves to "Political Correctness" or whatever you want to call it, it just fills the Anti's with that much more resolve.
They win a round.

We will lose this fight.

Until individuals and entities stand up in the face of the popular opinion and reinforce "We Will Not Comply" "We Will Not Bow".

Unless people stand for their convictions, they have nothing.

I swear I heard Vagina Chevette say "Ultrahigh capacity assault clips"

[blacklabel]

Well said BP.

Politicians should have to take a test on the subject of any law or regulation they try to pass before being allowed to vote.

That spawned my avatar.

However, right now the left own the narrative and they are winning with terms like "assault rifle", "assault clip", even "high-capacity magazine"... don't get me started on "gun buyback". So long as they coin the phrases and the media repeat them, we will lose.

Hahahahaha, I get it now! Assault clip!

That's pretty awesome!
