Boomerdog 0 #28 January 11, 2016 https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/4269/text Interesting debate going on here. The URL above provides the language of the bill and it's current status. Therefore, anyone who reads the bill can settle once and for all whether or not there's any buy back program. I don't know beacause I've not read the entire text. But to repeat myself from a previous post. The bill is under consideration in the House Judiciary Committee. There is no record of the Chairman's actions to bring it to committee for a hearing much less a vote on the House Floor. And even before it gets to the floor, the Rules Committee has to approve it then send it to the Speaker for it to finally get approval for a floor vote. And OBTW, the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee is Congressman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA6) The Sixth Congressional District of Virginia covers the Shenandoah Valley from Winchester all the way down to Roanoke. It's "gun country" folks! This bill IS DOA. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sirfallsalot 0 #31 January 11, 2016 Boomerdoghttps://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/4269/text This bill IS DOA. Probably so. However, it dispels the notion that some people hold that "no one wants to take away your guns". That bill proves, in fact, that there are at least 125 Representatives who WOULD ban assault weapons, if they had the power to do so. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My intent was to put forth the bill as it is and its status without further comment. I've stated in another subject thread, this forum that the ultimate goal of gun control interests is confiscation.

Boomerdog 0 #37 January 12, 2016 Quote...and it's done slowly, piece by piece - you don't destroy the Greatest Country in the history of the world overnight - they've been chipping away for the last 50+ years... There's certainly been a vigorous and sometimes successful attempt. The numbers, however are not on the side of gun grabbers. There are over 300 million firearms in the hands of over 80 million Americans. And the figures I just cited are probably low (and hence in error) since Obama took office. So the same folks that think they can confiscate all these weapons (and jail or shoot the millions who resist) think its impossible to deport the smaller millions of those here illegally. IMHO, there's an inconsistency in logic. Memo to gun grabbers...you can "go in" armed or unarmed, just be prepared to take fire and just understand that those of us who will keep our guns have already come to the understanding of the risks and the possible outcomes. It is highly recommended they do the same. The majority of gun owners are not going to take too kindly to government edicts of confiscation and I have the strange suspicion many in the government understand this clearly. Thus three fundamental principles are at work here. 1. Quantity has a quality all of its own. 2. Deterence works. 3. Those who wish to screw with the bull better be prepared to deal with the horns.

Lol, the point is so seriously flawed I am staying away from it. The starting premise was the US is the greatest country ever. Somehow any thought of restrictions on guns is changing that and all guns are going to be taken away. That was followed by a wonderful Rambo style post, which really just reminded me of Occupy Oregon. In the end, even a bull with bad grammar has horns.

Boomerdog 0 #42 January 12, 2016 Not to worry. "T" is directly catty corner to "H" on the keyboard and sometimes auto correct just doesn't. I'm sure our right honorable friend from up North has had his kicks and I've corrected the typo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boomerdog 0 #43 January 12, 2016 Now...with respect to your comments.... I stated in a previous forum that what is going on in Oregon is wrong headed, misguided and a fool's parade or words to that effect. With respect to the "US being the greatest country ever." That's your inference not mine but I won't encourage or discourage your viewpoint. Rambo? Surely you jest. It doesn't work that way down here in spite of what movies you've been watching up there. But you, me, everyone else here has unknown factors and quantities in their life none of us is aware of. So after 22 years of military service, I could have been anything from a paper pushing admin officer in a personnel shop to spec ops and anything in between, you'll never know will you and quite frankly I'm not telling. Suffice it to say that I've been sufficiently well trained in the field and in the classroom and in real world ops and more than one superior officer writing my fitness reports over the years identified my decisiveness and resolve to carry out orders, act, say what I mean and mean what I say. That is all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkyDekker 1,465 #44 January 12, 2016 You quoted and directly responded to a sentence with this in it: "...the Greatest Country in the history of the world...". Then you agree with the point and expand on it. I think I am doing more than inferring at that point. QuoteRambo? Surely you jest. It doesn't work that way down here in spite of what movies you've been watching up there. Not talking about movies. I am talking about the attitude often displayed on here about how they are going to stop everything with their gun. The reference to Occupy Oregon is the displayed attitude of banding together and stopping the big bad government. When you do, remember to bring the toilet paper and cigarettes.
