I sat in my wife's uncles living room and told him "there is no way possible this "Brady bill" will ever become law"!
In the original version there were sentences of banning "military type" and "ominous looking in nature" type of firearms.
ALL firearms are ominous looking, and I'm still trying to find one type that has ever been developed that wasn't used by the military.

Wish I had your optimism Blue.
Got a lot more socialists in this ballgame than in the other one.

And you just don't have enough to get pissed at!

If you live in these states, you are required to destroy all non "encoded" ammunition by July 2011, if passed in your senate.
http://www.ammunitionaccountability.org/Legislation.htm
This site is designed FOR more imposed regulations on All handgun ammo and All "assault" weapons ammo (which we know includes everything else).
Basically after June 2009 all ammo will be encoded as to origination and final sales to person. Any non encoded sales are forbidden after this date.
An extra 5 cents per round tax will be imposed above the current "unseen" tax. In Georgia it's 11%.
Possession of nonencoded after July 2011 will carry a fine of $1000 for the first offense, $5000 for the second and $10k for the third.

I'm as scared of the liberal anti gun fanatics as any one, but I've been researching on the NRA website for a while and I haven't seen any alerts to any national legislation. The HR45 bill has been beat to death on serveral popular progun sites to the point that the administrator usually locks the thread after posting a link to all the other threads covering the same subject(the bill is over 5 years old and has been shot down several times). The gun shops are telling everyone that the sky is falling and you better buy your guns now, even at Wallmart, they are low on ammo. But when you go to the NRA's website, there is only a few state laws concerning guns that are being posted for review. I have to trust teh NRA to separate teh fact from fiction on the emails and anti gun scares I hear. I personally believe that the anti gun rights groups are going to keep trying, and I don't want to take gun ownership for granted, but for the most part, what we are hearing lately has been some creative marketing by gun manufactures and gun dealers to boost sales. I went inot a gun shop teh other day and overheard a salesman telling a customer that before long, you won't be able to buy new fangled high capicity, high power hand guns like the 1911 he was holding. I just looked at him, the elevated price tag on the Springfield he was holding, and turned and left, with my money.

Now that is some good and creative marketing right there!

any of ya'll been in a guns shop lately? They won't even budge on prices, they are list price and some above depending on the demand. The DPMS Sportacal was nationally listed at a fixed price of under $800, shops around here have been selling them above $1000, with a waiting list. Before the election, 40 Glocks were in the 500-550 range, now they stickers are around 650+. The Kimbers have gotten higher(even though they are not high capicity), the TLEII was around $750-$800, In December they jumped to over $1000. Funny thing is, the less popular, but no less quality by any means, guns like the HK's and SIg's are still around their prices of a year ago. It grips my butt that shops I have traded with are gouging on their prices, its one thing to charge retail to make a living, its another to pad the prices based on false speculation and hysteria, sounds a lot the fuel prices from last summer.

tell me about it, the prices of ak's are well over 700, even the crappy yugo's they were only 200-300 before all that crap, even the sks's at least 400, thats a damn 100-200 dollar gun at its best.
