They banned Machine Guns made after 1986 they banned import of machine guns in 1968 and now they're banning import of semi-automatic rifles that they call ''assault rifles'' what else do they want? Damn politicians dont know jack shit about guns, pfft... look at what they call semi-autos they call them ''assault weapons'' oh but its alright for them because they have bodyguards to protect them with even better weapons, I tell you, these politicians are a bunch of cowards.

@Teeheehee555

ignorant cowards

[stuntmanmike37]

So, why are they able to import WASR-10s and Yugo M70s but not FN FALs?

[GunWebsites]

@stuntmanmike37

not enough people want FALs maybe?

These gun law videos are very educational and enlightening. I wish you would finish the rest IE: Brady Bill and the Assault Weapons ban of 1994

[GunWebsites]

well both of them are gone, so I didn't bother

But thanks for the feedback.. we could address them if people would be interested

The 2nd amendment isn't about hunting or sporting purposes. Why don't politicians understand that?

This is a prime example of why you shouldn't assume a Republican will protect your 2nd amendment rights. Always look up their voting history before you give any candidate your vote. Chances are you will be surprised at what their records says versus their prime time political debate promises.

I remember being at a gun show in late 1989 and signing a petition to keep this ban from being enacted.

Something tells me that many fudds and domestic gun and gun accessory makers were happy to see this ban enacted.

[Teeheehee555]

@mbrownie22 The one in 1994 was repealed in 2004, but if they ever bring it back into law again then at that point ill just buy it illegaly. No, literally I will. theres no use letting yourself get killed just because the Pollies say you cant.

[stuntmanmike37]

@GunWebsites I guess, but what I meant was, are WASRs and M70s imported in a "non-military" configuration or something?

@Iamcartmanxd I think a pure pump would be fine for me if I could make it look evil! >:)

[Iamcartmanxd]

I really hate the specific ban on Franchi Spas-12 shotguns. You know what I'd use them for? Skeet, trap, hunting. And because of their "Menacing look" and semi/pump action, it's deemed not to be hunting suitable. I wish there'd be a modification you could get to, say, a Remington 870 to make it have the same appearance and function as a Franchi. :'(

@BALJIT147 if everybody is armed there is no need for police. is a thug really going to try to rob somebody who they know is armed. even if he attempted he would get blasted by the man he is robing and the other bystanders. and if there is a problem of to many gangster's then the people will ban together and fight off the troublemakers. people can take care of them self's without a GOV. or police force.
