So the Dianne Feinstein bill, some of the retardation:
1) Mini-14 tactical is banned but no other mini-14's are covered
2) Barrett m82a1 is banned even though it is a bolt action
3) A bunch of 22lr guns are banned directly, but 10/22 is fine.
4) M1A isn't covered
So assume this ban happens. Anyone wanting an "assault rifle" would just buy the mini-14 or other variants. It is really blatantly obvious that this list has nothing to do with actually saving lives. I mean, the barret m82a1? Has anyone ever been killed in a crime with it?

Its $8,000 to buy a Barrett M82. It just looks scary because of the 5 round mag and the muzzle brake. The number of people who own them in United States is miniscule and they are mostly competitive shooters, pros or MIL/LE.
Feinstein is a moron.

All prominent anti gun politicians are nothing more than holier than thou pieces of shit(hello feinstein having a ccw). You are are ignorant at best and a god damn idiot at worst if you think people like Feinstein or Bloomberg are going after guns for with a rational mind(ignoring the mountain of evidence showing gun control is a failure).

Shit man, I'd love to buy one but could never justify the money. Saw some generics or like $2500 or something. But supposedly not even fun to shoot.

Ignoring the law as a mayor is bad and all, but fuck it's a helicopter in NYC. Shit should be open 24/7.
If you check wikipedia there is know known crime in the entire US where any of the Barret .50cal rifles have been used. I think she threw them in because of this stupid law.

There won't be any ban that passes.

The reason the Feinstein list of banned guns looks the way it does is because literally her staff that knows nothing about firearms sits down with one years edition of Gun Digest or other catalog and goes thru and picks out guns that look "scary and evil". If a gun wasn't made that year or wasn't imported that year tough shit if you don't get an exclusion even tho it doesn't meet any requirements of the bill.
Actually, yes you can. That's the entire point of our Constitution you dumb fuck. The government can't just say "Ahhh gosh, this no longer applies anymore! Blacks, back to slavery!" You can't claim the First Amendment is any more timeless than the Second. The Second Amendment, above all others, IS THE POINT!
Want to oppress people with outrageous taxes? Think twice, they own guns!
Want to throw black people back into chains? Think twice, they own guns!
Want to restrict people from publishing words that go against the views of those in power? Think twice, they own guns!
Want to make a law that says the President gets first fuck rights to a woman on her wedding night? Think twice motherfucker, they got the guns!
A free people's ability and willingness to bring violence to those in power when they overstep their bounds is THE point. The whole fucking point. Nothing else in the Constitution, nor city, state or federal law, matters one shit of a bit without guns.
Except that what he's proposing is an amendment to our Constitution you dumb fuck. He's just saying that the appeal to the current configuration of the law as a justification for that configuration is fucking meaningless (a point it seems like you somehow simultaneously miss AND grasp given that you then proceed to give a defense of the second amendment without appealing to its currently being the law).

Ohh believe me my heart weeps for those suffering hipsters, but nothing better shows the mentality of Bloomberg and everyone else like him than that situation. His reponse to the reporter at the end is fucking priceless "I have lots going on" like transporting your wife/gf and your dogs. Do as I say not as I do, thats what these people are about.

Under the strict letter of the law in the Feinstein bill introduced a large number of Glock handguns would be banned because of the part where it says any semi auto handgun that has a full auto model available to military/police would also be banned.
What an amazingly direct refutation of my point! You're like some kind of debategod.

Well at this point I have to just assume that you're too incompetent to actually argue whatever "logic" is bouncing around in that head of yours.

Oh. "Sorry." Honestly nothing you write is worthy of any sort of thoughtful reply. I could care less what someone likes you think, and I could honestly care even less to spend the 2-3 minutes required to compose some sort of a message to you addressing your "points." Basically I don't give a shit what you think, which is why your PM to me was so hilarious.
What I think is that you're butthurt but too dumb to actually defend what you think.
