NRA files suit against D.C. semi-auto handgun ban

[tombogan03884]

Ahhh... sometimes its good to be a "hillbilly". 

Swoop

Or a "Damnyankee" 

Scuse me, but I seem to remember a "machinegun" being a fully automatic weapon that fires RIFLE rounds.  At worst, a weapon that fires handgun cartridges would be a "SUB-machinegun", and then must be FULLY automatic, at that!

What a bunch of flippin' idiots in that town!!

The collection of geniuses in DC is why Congresses approval rating is only 1/3 as high as Pres. Bush.

which is really sad when you look at bush's approval rating.

Back to the OP

I see a new line added what is and is not a machine gun coming... hopefully that will be a good thing.

If we would only remove the LEO exemptions from all gun control laws, stupid crap like this DC law would go away.

My Drill Instructors at PI used to say that 10% never get the word. Meaning that 10% of people are idiots. a 9% approval rating means that not even all the IDIOTS approve of congress.

It saddens me to think that the D.C. Officials would rather keep "testing their luck" like a child and WASTE tax money and time to defend thier twisted vision of gun rights. I recently sent an email to my local Democratic Representitive during the Heller case and did not recieve a responce until almost a month later. The reply was clearly sent to many people and sounded like a robot stateing how she was there to protect our "Heritage" and "Shooting sports." Not once was it ever mentioned that we had a RIGHT to possess arms but rather made it seem as though it was a so called "Privelage" like a Driver's License or my CCH. I responded and asked her views on the decision and her personal beliefs and got THE SAME email. My response was simple; I asked why there werent resticions put on vehichles with LARGE fuel capacities and a FAST rate of acceleration as we have one of the highways (I-70) with one of the nations highest fatal accident rates. There has been no response yet. I will prob. get the same email I have recieved twice from her office. This just shows me that ignorance truly is a disese which needs to be cured soon. I'll be damned if I live in a "New England."

I understand your reference is to English gun law, but could you (ALL) PLEASE phrase it differently I do live in New England, (as opposed to Olde England where most of the original European settlers came from) and I find it necessary to point out that Me. NH and Vt. have the least restrictive firearms laws in the Nation, as well as some of the lowest crime rates. The places that infringe on our second amendment rights are the ones influenced by the Boston/ NY metroplex, outside that area support for gun rights is alive and well.

With the noted exception of parts of the Chicagoland area of Illinois (State Motto:  Vote early, vote often!)

I think we will find that "Gun Control"  is driven by Big City dem political "machines" while smaller cities and towns even in the same state take a far less repressive view but are over ruled. Pennsylvania makes a good example as it is primarily a PRO gun rights state with all anti gun initiatives originating with the scofflaw administration of Philadelphia.

Pretty much so.  In the not so big state of New Mexico, our Democratic Governor, high profile, publicly states his support for the Second Amendment.  The State is mainly Democratic but not restrictive in gun rights. 

From where I live, it seems like restrictive regulations come from large cities with left-wing liberals with lots of power.

Great observation.
