Assault rifles

[WhiteFeather]

Roy Jackson you made several excellent points about the so called assault weapons in your posts.

Assault is a behavior not a device.

Don’t forget there are several bills anti-gun bill in Harrisburg that could be passed into law except for all the Pro-gun Reps that stand in the way today. Don’t forget to thanks and support those Reps otherwise bill such as HB 30 could be passed into law that would make N.J. look like a gun friendly state compared to PA after HB 30 was signed into law.

HB 30 - Assault Weapon Ban, prohibition, registration, penalties (Amend 18 Pa.C.S.)

INTRODUCED BY FRANKEL, D. EVANS, BISHOP, WHEATLEY, YOUNGBLOOD, COHEN,
BENNINGTON, GERBER, JAMES, MYERS, STURLA, WILLIAMS, CRUZ, CURRY,
GALLOWAY, JOSEPHS, KIRKLAND, LEACH, M. O'BRIEN, PASHINSKI AND ROEBUCK

This is an extremely bad bill. It will make it illegal to posses a huge number of common firearms now owned and used by gun owners in PA. This bill makes the following unlawful:

1) To own, use, possess or sell an unregistered “assault weapon”.

2) Any accessory such as any detachable magazine over 10 rounds, barrel shroud, folding stock, thumbhole stock, telescoping stock, muzzle break or muzzle compensator. These parts described above are defined as “conversion kits”. Possession of conversion kits or components carries the penalty of first degree felony.

3) To keep your “assault weapon” unless you register it with the state police every year, pay a registration fee every year and undergo a complete background check every year. You will be required to safely and securely store “assault weapons” pursuant to regulations. You will be legally permitted to use the “assault weapon” only on your property or duly licensed firing range.

When transporting an “assault weapon,” you will only be allowed to travel directly to and from certain locations (without intermittent stops) and with special storage requirements.

Your registered “assault weapon” will have zero resale value, as you will be banned from selling, trading or transferring it. Someone will be allowed to inherit it provided they comply with all the above requirements within 30 days. The only way to dispose of your “assault weapon” will be to turn it over to the state police for destruction or permanent disabling so that it is incapable of discharging a projectile. Note: the state police will be allowed to perform a compliance inspection at your home once a year to ensure that you are not violating any provision of this law. If you are found in violation, the penalty is a third degree felony.

Well who the F*** says we have to pay attention to constitutionally-illegal legislation?!?! As President Andrew Jackson said - when the Supreme Court ruled against the U.S. in a case involving Cherokee possession of ancestral lands in GA - "Let the Chief Justice then, come down here and ENFORCE his decision!"

Let FRANKEL, D. EVANS, BISHOP, WHEATLEY, YOUNGBLOOD, COHEN,
BENNINGTON, GERBER, JAMES, MYERS, STURLA, WILLIAMS, CRUZ, CURRY,
GALLOWAY, JOSEPHS, KIRKLAND, LEACH, M. O'BRIEN, PASHINSKI AND ROEBUCK & their fellow F***NUTS (starting with the Head F***NUT-in-charge, Ed Rendell) come to MY door, and they're WELCOME to TRY and take my CONSTITUTIONALLY-GUARANTEED LIBERTY TEETH. After I hand their ass back to them, maybe they can dig their head out of it while they're at it. Then they can go back to Harrisburg, and figure out how to CUT SPENDING and LOWER TAXES... before we dump all their 'tea' in the Susquehanna...

HB 30 has languished for quite a while. I don't think it's going anywhere.

I know it pisses folks (me included) off...big time. But it's more important to calmly discuss this with your representative then go on a rant (although...rants can be very satisfying, can't they?)
