Will Obama Ban Air Rifles Next
« on: February 27, 2009, 04:22:11 AM »
An assault on our Liberty is taking place with regular rifles right now. I wonder if air rifles are next.

Welcome to the club. A few of your states already have bans on airguns....no selling, procession or shooting of airguns. In Canada only 500fps or lower airguns are allowed to be sold over the counter....anything above is considered a "real" firearm...and courses have to be passed in order to buy those. In most cities, airguns are not allowed to be used.....even in your own backyard. And most provinces don`t allow airguns to be used for hunting.

In many cities in the US air guns are banned from being fired within the city limits and your own backyards already. It is a slow process with government. Kinda like a slow spreading cancer eating away at our freedoms and rights..



I never have figuered out the reasoning behind no smoking allowed in bars..:) Next there will be no drinking allowed in bars..:)

I started to post on this yesterday then got busy. Obama is pushing the Assault weapons ban again as we speak. The headlines on ABC's web site yesterday stated this very thing. I still trying to figure out what the definition of an assault weapon is. I'm not looking for the politically motivated definition but the true meaning. To me it means anything you take control of to harm another person be it a gun, baseball bat, kitchen knife or an automobile. Didn't they just give the big three25 billion to build more assault weapons. I feel bad for all the folks that are going to be out ofwork when the ban goes through. I guess he doesn't have the country's best interest at hand. I wonder if anyone that voted for him looses their job because of what he is doing will feel betrayed???????

If this yo-yo is able to disarm this country with in the next four years it will be a free for all for criminals. Things have gotten so bad in some places in Europe that they going back to having police officers carry guns again.

Greenville, South Carolina, has a ban on discharging a projectile with in the city limits. When you get right down to it this includes nerf guns!

That is why I am glad I live just outside the city limits.

Im in Houston, Texas.
I have not research discharging airguns on private property.
I pressumed it was OK, neighbors dont mind, but Id be more comfortable knowing, rather than just assuming.
Any Houstonians here know the law?

GTA got blocked by WebSense at my place of employment recently. I mentioned to my boss that my co-worker looks at vintage Ford Mustang sites all of the time and they didn't block them. I told him that I was pretty sure that more people had been killed by Mustangs than Airguns, and they didn't block those sites.



Was Teddy Kennedy driving a Mustang? His car has killed more people than any of my guns.



Also, did any of you notice that they were showing full-auto weapons that were being used by drug traffickers. Aren't those already illegal? Will a law blocking semi-autos stop them from owning them? I think not. Maybe enforcing existing laws would be a good idea first, eh?

One thing that irritates me- People automatically assuming one thing will lead to some extreme. CALM DOWN, PEOPLE. I'm a liberal and I'm for the 2nd Amendment.

Assault weapons are kind of pointless for hunting. Unless you're a collector (which I'm starting to think of becoming if I'm ever rich), there's really no point to having one.

STOP FREAKING OUT. THE GOVERNMENT WILL NEVER TAKE ALL OUR GUNS AWAY. There would be a revolution before that ever happens.
