How long till the AWB is back?

[SAnd]

Common Sense Gun Laws fool any middle of the road gun owner. The perfect example (again) is the Gun Show Loophole Law. The average CO gun owner fell for it hook, line & sinker.
We have a timid pro gun legislature that would pass a "GSLH" if another mass shooting occurred.
McDonalds in San Ysidro CA started the AWB in that state.
The LI Train shooting propelled Mcarthy in to office and "reasonable" gun laws became stricter

On & on it goes. mass media and the web allow the world to see live, or the aftermath of horrendous acts against our fellow man/woman.
Give it one maybe 2x between now and Nov, Obama will be swept back in to office on the bodies of americans.
After Nov IF, big IF (this is how much of an impression the rep candidate has) i had a mind blank (oh yeah Romney) Actually won and we suffered the same scenario, he'd jump at any "reasonable" laws.

This was the whole concept behind Fast and Furious.

I am somewhere in the middle of "Enemies, foreign and Domestic" and that whole scenario terrifies the living shit out of me.

but yes, My Oath has no expiration date.

HAHA, thats funny.But you don't remember the ban, it sucked.You'd be fine cause you like Garands it could happen again,and very soon

Garands have bayonet lugs...which means they could get up and kill your children on their own

Yeah and by grinding the bayonet down to a spike, they could still be used for roasting hot dogs. Hope they don't make such "cooking utensils" illegal too. ;-))

The UK has already done so.

Even in the Gun Community i'd say atleast %50 wouldn't care if the AWB was back. I think it will happen sooner than we think.How long till the trading section is shut down?

If the seated president wins a second term, I could see an attempt at an AWB. I would think the American people had spoken on the issue after his last election. The backlash to the democratic party was pretty sound. Hopefully that will be enough to deter another attempt.

In reality, did the last AWB accomplish anything? From the research I have done (by no meads exhaustive) I cannot find anything to show that the AWB reduced crime, gunshot deaths or assaults.

It showed the Federal Gov can do whatever they feel like?

Either way we will see the 2cnd attacked.
If BHO gets a second term he will go after it with great zeal. He promised while in Denver during the DNC he would "see that military type weapons are forever off the streets of America"
If not re-elected he will be passed and will have a lame dick session where I am sure he will leave a nice and steamy pile of EO's.
Just Google his "Firearms voting record".
NRA
GOA
SAF and any other lobby group deserves support. Its our only chance

Bert is right again, we'll see something whether Obama wins or not.

An EO can be over-turned if there is a 2/3 vote against the EO.

While the power of the executive order seems broad, there are checks. One check is Congress's ability to overturn executive orders, much in the same way that it may overturn a presidential veto. A two-thirds vote of both houses (i.e., both the Senate and the House of Representatives) is required to overturn an executive order. This means that it can be extremely hard to overturn an executive order, since most members of Congress typically vote along party lines.
