But of course he's lying, right?

Yes and no - Carney's statement simply reflects political reality. A new AWB won't make it through the current Congress and Obama doesn't want to back something he knows won't get passed. All he would achieve by calling for a new AWB would be to further energize the "bitter clinger" crowd and raise money for the NRA.

He (and Romney) are going out of their way to NOT politicize this tragedy. Notice how both campaigns have taken their ads off the air? Obama is going to leave the politicization to others. He'll just sign the new AWB if it happens to land on his desk. That would be in line with his previously stated policy goals and stance on 2A issues.

Yup, I have 20,000 and it doesn't look like that much.

If a ban were set in place would exising owners get grandfathered in? Or would all current owners be forced to sell their firearms out of state/county/city?

So instead of reinstating the AWB, the govt should start subsidizing Beta-C.

I need to work on this more. I'm too broke, too young, or too stupid to not be stockpiling faster.

Everytime I'm in walmart I try to buy a box or two to stash.....surprising how fast it adds up

I am not sure why everyone is complaining. If we keep electing "retards" why should we expext any different outcomes?

I like how people want to ban hi cap mags too. People at work were talking about how we should regulate the sale of ammo and hi cap mags. I don't know how I work with these people but I guess they like the game of chance, if you give me less that is the lower the chance I have to defend myself.
