Renewal of the AWB

Update: On further investigation of H.R.6257 it appears that it was actually introduced last June and was referred to committee in July, well before the election. ( from Alphecca)


Obama has stated that he will reinvigorate the economy.

Well, he's been successful in one way, even prior to the Inauguration - gun sales.

Gun sales, as shown by a 15% increase in Background Checks, have skyrocketed. And that's just the sales through a dealer. The increase in private sales is unknown. But, I think that we can make an informed guess that sales are up.

The Richmond Gun Show had an increase of 1800 visitors. Some are buying handguns. Others are investing in eeeeevviiill "assault rifles" or, as informed persons know them, semi-automatic rifles. Why?

Because Obama has a history of banning guns. As does the Democratic Party. And one item in Obama's agenda is the re-introduction of the "Assault Weapons Ban," except this time they want to make it permanent, regardless of its logic, legality, or effectiveness.

But WAIT! It appears we don't have to fear an Obama Administration. The Democrats are not pushing for the AWB this year.

REPUBLICANS ARE! And the moderates wonder why we conservatives feel the need to purge the party of Repuplicans like this...

Here's the list of RINO's that are already kissing up to the Democrat powers to be:

H.R. 6257: Assault Weapons Ban Reauthorization Act of 2008

To reinstate the Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act.

Rep. Mark Kirk [R-IL]

(Rep. Kirk's office is 202-225-4835)

Cosponsors [as of 2008-11-07]
Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen [R-FL] Contact
Rep. Michael Ferguson [R-NJ] DC 202-225-5361/New Jersey 908-757-7835

Why do we need enemies if we have friends like these? At least there are no Virginians on this list. It would be an interesting question to put to Senator Webb, however, since he is such a GREAT supporter of the 2nd Amendment. And its not worth calling Senator Warner....in my opinion, he'll vote in whatever way he feels will make him look good....

I'd like to see these idiots even DEFINE "assault weapon."

Here is the best definition yet:
