Are you fucking retarded whitehouse? We the people wont let ANY "style" firearm be banned.

No, no misunderstanding here. You keep buying into his bullshit. What part of shall not infringe do you not understand. People drive drunk and kill way more than people with guns so let's take cars plus they aren't a right a gun is.

Again he just said Band Weapons & Magazines, He will Not stop till he take all right's from every 1, even if he has to sign it in to executive order's. I hate to say , I really do. I would not put it past him for 1 split second to do behind closed door's.

The founding fathers felt that every law abiding citizen should have "military style" firearms, equal to the that of the army, in order to protect the USA from enemies, both foreign and domestic. It has nothing to do with "NUKES" but rather common, military arms, such as rifles and even cannons. Yes I said CANNONS! Americans could privately own cannons until the unconstitutional gun bans, starting in the 1930's.

What I want to know is where are this 90% they keep talking about?

[grtdanesrok]

they did it in ny the safe act ,, they banned 10 round mags .. and then said we can only have 7 round mags when they don't even make them? so they said you can only have 7 rounds in a 10 round clip for hand guns ? they also banned all mags over 10 rounds for rifles... and any gun that has a pistol grip

[Daniel Carr]

This man detests the constitution because it restricts what he and his handlers can legislate. Never forget that it’s about controlling the people, and before you can control the people you MUST control the guns. Our founding fathers knew this all too well and that is exactly why US Constitution was written. Dianne Fein, Mayer Bloom and the other cronies will do everything they can to strip the teeth from the US Constitution, so they can exercise their will to legislate what they wish.

Got this link from there answer they won't do anything to Frankenstein , which is bullshit because she is not holding her oath to defend our constitution , if they look at the places that have strict gun control, crime is through the roof, and whoever believes different has lost all sense of reality, the We The People petition is bullshit , they don't care nor ever will what the people want, not one criminal will follow ANY law that is made, not one.
