It's the 20 round mag that makes the 5.7 so evil.

That, and it fires scary looking bullets

Nope, its the "cop killer" bullets that are used in it. They've even had an episode of "CSI: Miami" where they said how vicious these rounds were, how the could penetrate body armor... All the normal anti crap that comes out of hollyweird.

Edited to put a smiley in it, as all sentences containing something about the anti's trying to legitimize something deserves a jackin' smiley in it.

Seems like the anti Assemblymen really are playing the "throw enough Bills out there, a few are bound to get through" strategy. I very much hope none of these ridiculous bills make it out of Committee.

Perhaps we should propose a bill limiting the number of bills a legislator can propose...or be a co-sponsor of. We can call it the one bill a month law.

Good place to start Dave, but I think that with some of them it should be one bill a session.

It is actually getting comical. They probably know non of it will fly. These guys that propose this are the defination of a useless person. they take a job that they tell everyone they are good at and will help society and cant do jack $hit. So to look effective they do this. I bet if you pull their records they are bottom of the barrel. Do nothing. they get elected because they promise the world to their voters.
