Dianne Feinstein is calling for a new awb

[jal777]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by REP (a host of the General Discussion forum).

Do any of you guys think that all she is achieving is more new guns in American hands due to panic buys? I was at local Walmart and I witnessed ar's flying off the shelves an hour ago. People are buying more guns than ever.

1. That happened in 2008 because you know

We are going to take precious away.

7. LOL! Pukes in torment!

Those must be replacements for the Great Gun Confiscation and FEMA Camp Round-Up of 2009. I guess we missed some of them from the last time. Onward, Comrades!



Apply LIBERALLY as needed...

2. Welcome to DU! This will be hidden shortly as it gets moved to the gungeon.

[loli phabay]

3. guess i need to rush out for a new ar then. doubt this is a battle the pols want

Unless you want to lose the rural vote.

[jal777]

4. Yes it did..,.

But now it's worse with Dianne announcing this. Would it make sense to abandon the whole assault gun thingy?

12. The infamous underbelly of Democratic Underground, where all things GUN are discussed to great angst

Otherwise known formally as the Right To Keep & Bear Arms group. Per the SOP (Statement of Purpose( of GD, or General Discussion:

Discuss politics, issues, and current events. No posts about Israel/Palestine, religion, guns, showbiz, or sports unless there is really big news. No conspiracy theories. No whining about DU.

I think this follows the General Discussion theme of GOP hysteria over the election, but some may find it worthy of being posted in the Gungeon. Don't be upset if it gets Alerted, Hidden or Blocked, you didn't know what it meant. I don't see anything wrong with it being here.

13. Ah, sorry, I meant to reply to your Post #5. Pardon me.

[jal777]

5. What is the gungeon? Thanks!

[ManiacJoe]

11. The Guns forum, under Justice/Public-Safety.

Where most gun-related topics get "banished" to.

6. Right wingers arming up for intimidation and profit.

[loli phabay]

9. dont think guns are a left right thing plenty of dems hunt and have guns

Definetly a rural urban thing ive found.

[jal777]

18. Very true

Guns and hunting are a right wing thing. I know many liberals who are also panic buying ammo, magazines and guns.

[jal777]

20. Edit: are Not a right wing thing

[Hoyt]

23. I'm not as concerned about the relatively few Dems into carrying guns and such.

[jal777]

25. You should come to illinois and see how many dems are into shooting sports. You would be surprised.

And the vast majority don't live in rural areas.

[loli phabay]

27. where do you get relatively few from. i know shitloads of dems with guns

Wonder how many members of du are gun owners. Also most if not all the pubs i know are responsible gun owners who are not looking to start a war.

[pinboy3niner]

8. Whew! For a second there, I thought she missed the Average White Band.

[loli phabay]

10. lol for the win

[freshwest]

15. That was my first thought, as well.

[glacierbay]

16. That would be a National Tragedy to ban the AWB.

[quaker bill]

14. There is no threat

It would never even get a vote in the House.

[freshwest]

17. Makes one wonder if Dianne is on the payroll of the NRA to stir up sales... Just sayin'

[freshwest]

22. A traitor to what? Your'e not gonna go all UN blue helmet and FEMA camp, are you?

Please explain that...

[jal777]

24. Um..

A traitor as in your theory of her on the NRA payroll.

[freshwest]

28. Traitor to what or who?

[glacierbay]

19. Not with the Repukes in charge

also Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid, who is a strong supporter of the RKBA, would never let it come to the floor for a vote.

[BlueMan Votes]

26. what's wrong with the old Average White Band?
