So Illinois tabled a proposed law that would ban ALL semi-automatic weapons due to lack of support/votes. Hopefuly NYS does the same with the radical gun laws proposed recently.

I know, I was responding directly to the OP: "Hopefuly NYS does the same with the radical gun laws proposed recently."

HEy that is good news.

Sogaard - read the proposed NYS law that was posted in the forum earlier today. It seems to deem most semi-auto rifles "assault rifles".

[Sogaard]

Key word there is "Proposed".

The left has to propose outlandish things that will never fly so that the right can water them down and both sides can eventually agree to something realistic with neither side feeling emasculated.

Isn't politics grand?

So I guess if you say that often enough, there's nothing to worry about. The fact is that the atmosphere lately is exactly right for massive public support for these kinds of radical laws. The anti-gun fanatics have been waiting for an event that was packed with sufficient emotion to successfully push their agenda. They now feel the time is right. I see no need or purpose for complacency.

Throw out enough of these ridiculous bills and one might just stick. Perhaps a tactic to inch in on our liberties.

even if these radical gun laws are not passed, they will pass some restrictions like limits on magazines over 10 rounds. It will be very gradual. We all know that these laws will have no impact on violent crime or murder so they will then push for the next batch of guns to ban. It will be gradual over time, but before you know if we will be limited to single shot break barrels. Just look at this countries slow transition to entitlements. Little by little they keep giving out and promising more and more, and before you know it some people make more money being on the government cheese then actually going out and working.
