Commissioner Wants To Ban Assault Weapons

[ronwill]

Using manipulated stats and false logic a Miami City Commissioner wants to ban assault weapons. As he puts it "Guns once found in the hands of soldiers, are now cheap, readily available on streets and often pointed at those sworn to protect and serve us."

More liberal smoke and mirrors

He can't do it because of the FL state preemption law. He would have to change Florida state law first. That's not going to happen as long as Floridians make their voices heard in Tallahassee.

And we scream L O U D ! ! ! That's we have some fairly relaxed gun laws.

Perhaps he could define for us "assault weapons"......

"Guns once found in the hands of soldiers, are now cheap, readily available on streets and often pointed at those sworn to protect and serve us."

If I could FIND an M-16 on the streets, buddy, I would buy it in an instant. OOOOHHHHHH, SCARRRRRY LOOOOOOOKING GUNNNNNSSSSS. I guess he's never seen a fully automatic Glock. I'd rather face an AR-15 than one of those autos....

what an idiot.

Ban "assault weapons" (whatever they are) because killing someone with them makes you real dead.

Other weapons only make you a little dead. Of course, they will get around to those other guns later. Step one is to ban something just to set a precedent. Banning the second gun will be much easier than banning the first.

AGAIN!?
Again,this is why I say stupid people shouldn't be allowed to breed.

Maybe someone should(assuming it is possible)explain to this idiot that,per BATFE definition,an assault weapon is a SELECT FIRE weapon,that without proper registration and lots of money these are already illegal to buy,and that the 'semi-automatic assault weapon' that he wants to ban is every bit as real as gnomes and unicorns.
Stupid people piss me off.

Georgia has a preemption law also and, until georgiacarry.org got involved, cities, towns and counties were disregarding the law and passing more restrictive laws. Any time someone attempts this type of action it deserves full attention. I am a firm believer that "It can't happen here" is not a true statement.

As an LEO how is an "assault weapon" any more dangerous than any other weapon I am going to encounter. I know there are some stupid libs running some of the big cities in America trying to ban guns as hard as they can, but those of us working in the streets see it how it is. These "assault bans" are just feel good words to put on a page so these people can get reelected by the gullible sheep who put them there. These bans do nothing except make legal gun owners and sport shooters look like criminals. Of course this is Miami we are talking about.

Ok,ok,my question is,HOW DO THESE IDIOTS GET ELECTED?
Is it by paying somebody else to do all of their speaking and campaigning for them?(As I suspect it is)If it is,then they basically get elected because thay are rich.
