AWB off the table... (federally)

[BPTactical]

From yesterday as seen on Drudge and Yahoo:

"The White House says President Barack Obama is still committed to persuading Congress to ban some semi-automatic weapons, despite comments from the vice president that suggested he and Obama would instead embrace more politically popular gun reforms.

"The president has been clear that Congress should reinstate the assault weapons ban and that avoiding this issue just because it's been politically difficult in the past is not an option," Matt Lehrich, a spokesman for Obama, told Yahoo News.

Vice President Joe Biden told reporters on Thursday that he will issue a plan to the president next week to address the nation's gun violence problem. Though both Biden and Obama have voiced their support for an assault weapons ban, Biden didn't mention it on Thursday, instead focusing on proposals to close a loophole that allows gun buyers to forgo background checks and a bill to limit the size of ammunition magazines to 10 bullets. Biden also noted that many senators are opposed to a ban but are more receptive to magazine limits, according to the New York Times.

Any assault weapons ban would most likely face a tough road in Congress. President Bill Cinton, who pushed an assault weapons ban through a majority Democratic Congress in 1994, said later that the ban fueled a Republican comeback, with the party winning back the House and Senate for the first time in 40 years in the next election cycle.

Attitudes about assault weapons and gun control have also changed since the '90s: Polling shows that background checks and magazine limits enjoy majority support among the public, while an assault weapons ban does not."

I wasn't gonna sell any of mine, but, if you're in the market at $3k per we could talk.

I'd dip into my stash if I thought I could really get $3k a piece.

Under the threat of prosecution? Seriously you are gonna pull that? You did not receive any info through legal channels so you would not be under any "threat of prosecution". That takes the cake for stupidest thing I've heard today.

You've obviously never read any more of his posts.

First, I doubt that information would be classified.
Second, if there is a threat of prosecution to your friends, you should never have posted this. If anyone is concerned about this getting out and sees your post you could be in for an interview of a different sort. I am fairly certain your friends would not appreciate the special attention you just rained down on them.
Sometimes being "in the know" is something you should just keep to yourself. If the AWB debate turns out the way we all are hoping for, we'll all be thrilled and the result for all of us will be the same whether someone leaked it ahead of time or not.

sorry I read that link well past the first paragraph, i do not see anything promising in that article at all.

the bans will come in some form, if not an outright ban then restrictions and registration and confiscation of some guns, if you can buy an ar next year it will have major modifications done to it.

If something like this is announced it will ONLY be a ploy to whip the antis into writing their congrescritters. In other words, don't believe it.

They just want us to let our gaurd down so they can have more push but there is just too many of us and we are too strong. Obama and Biden can eat a piece of WHITE dog shit.

They are getting smarter, a federal law would bring major heat and even possible civil war, if they leave it to the blue states and cities to pass law's they know they will not take the heat and it would take years to make its way up to the supreme court if ever.
Look at NY, NJ, CA and others, they outright violate the 2nd and nothing has made it to the supreme court to challenge it.
This is another way to incrementally tear down the constitution.

Hell the city of Denver violates the state and federal Constitution and gets away with it. they just don't get any of my business.

I guess they got our Molon Labe post cards
