MIAMI - Miami-Dade County Commissioners have passed a resolution urging for the reinstatement of the federal ban on firearms commonly known as assault rifles, according to CBS 4.

The measure, passed Tuesday, asks Congress to stiffen gun control and renew the federal ban on the type of weapon used during a January shooting on the streets of Liberty City that killed two teenage boys.

Investigators have said an AK-47 was used in that attack.

The county commission's desire to ban assault weapons and impose stricter gun controls is supported by Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Alvarez, CBS 4 reported.

Alvarez, a former long-time director of the Miami-Dade Police Department, told the station he supports the right to bear arms but doesn't think the earliest proponents of the 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution had assault weapons in mind.

There it is again.  "BUT"  well I believe this BUT then again, I don't.

Wouldn't he be surprised to know that "assault" weapons were exactly what the founders had in mind.

Like Alf points out, what the founders had in mind was the same stuff the Army had.

as-sault n  1:  a violent physical or verbal attack  2a:  an apparently violent attemp or a willful offer with force or violence to do hurt to another without the actual doing of the hurt threatened (as by lifting the fist in a threatening manner) b:  rape

assault vt  1:  to make an assault on

Assault is an action!  Assault is not a thing!  

My health has been harmed by McDonalds Assault-Big Macs, Burger King Assault-Whoppers, Jack-in-the-Box Assault-Super Sized Meals, ...  Sound stupid?  No more stupid that putting the word "assault" infront of a gun, knife, stick or any other item you are afraid of.

All these gun haters need to go for counseling to get over their fear of inatimate objects.  How do we get them to understand that it is not the knife, club or gun that they are afraid of?  How do we get them to understand that it is the person they need to fear?  Take away this gun or that, and there will just be another tool to ban.  Slowly work your way through every gun ever built, and you will find yourself going after swords, knives, clubs, chains, diesel fuel, fertilizer, gasoline, laundry detergent, strike anywhere matches ...

The real problem is the action and not the tool.  We have thousands of laws regulating the action, but no one wants to deal with enforcing those ... unless of course we can determine that the threat was to some protected special race, sex or sect - then you will not only go to jail until you are dead but until you are dead two or three times.

Oh, by the way, To our Founding Fathers the most threatening weapon used in warfare was a rifled musket with a three and a half foot barrel, and I don't recall any where in the early records that it is written that only the Governement or a select few with special certificates can own those.  Remeber all that if you not only read the Second Amendment, but also the writings that the Framers coresponded with you will find that they wanted us to have all the weapons of war at our immediate disposal as legal citizens.

BUT all the idiots think that you can nuance it into just about anything you want in order to fit your agenda

Relax, remember, gun control isn't about guns, it's about control. The Bolsheviks won the Russian Civil war with the Phrase "Land, Bread, Peace", The Nazi's gained power with the slogan," One State, One people, One leader".
The socialists in America are still looking for their catch phrase.

Everything that the govt has been doing in recent memory boils down to control.......

I believe it is "Yes we can"

[tombogan03884]

I believe it is "Yes we can"

Then ours can be " Like hell you will", .
Here's some more
"Heat the tar and pluck the chickens".
"You get the rope, I'll find a tree".
"Over my (or your) dead body"
