Leaving the community

Cecil, I suggest you read the legislation.

I have a simple .22 rifle. By using a 6" dowel rod, some duct tape, and
the cardboard tube from the center of a roll of toilet paper, I can make it
into a dreaded "assault rifle" of the type addressed in the law that just
expired.

You really should read the law itself, instead of what the Brady people are
saying about it.

full well that no military-style assault weapon is semi-automatic.


Have you actually read his voting record and what types of weapons each
respective legislation was referring to? Evidently, not!

I have the right to own and fire my Mauser, and, as far as I'm concerned,
that
includes the right to be allowed to buy ammunition for it. Kerry tried to
ban that,

I almost forgot,,,,what for goodness sake do you need to be firing
ammunition as large as the type that the Mauser uses? Are the deer BIGGER
where you live,,, home protection, if that's what you are thinking, favors a
shotgun (that's per some cop friends, who would know).

But PLEASE tell me that you aren't one of those crazies that thinks that if
the "government takes over" its' citizens, you are going to be there like
Rambo to prevent it - if that's it,,, don't want to have to tell ya bub, but
you'll be easily outgunned and outmanned and be planted in the ground in
your tracks, faster than you can blink.

Then there are the Freudian possibilities regarding the subconscious need to
have BIG cartridges grin

Please, the 2nd ammendment says I have the right to firearms, not just the
ones that some folks say are ok.

The 2nd amendment speaks of the right to bear arms, not the right to bear arms
that are approved by certain folks. Similarily the 1st amendment provides right
to free speech to make remarks about all kinds of issues, not just certain
issues that some folks feel ok.

One of the good things about the U.S. is that I don't have to prove a "need" for
something in order to own it. At least that's the way it's supposed to be. In any
case, you obviously have no idea of the capabilities or limitations of an 8mm round
or of deer hunting.

Your police friends are correct about home defense. A shotgun is definitely preferred
over a rifle.

been looking for it.

Do you even know what a Mauser is?

Mauser is a type of rifle design, not a caliber. Get a clue.
