Arsenal SGL31-61 Saiga AK-74 Semi Auto Rifle 5.45×39Debate over the recent U.N. Arms Trade Treaty and the Colorado Cinema shooting has spurred a spate of legislative talk about banning a variety of firearms and shooting accessories. In particular, there’s renewed political efforts to try to enact a new “Assault Weapons Ban” and a “large-capacity magazine ban.” S&W M&P15 Rifle .223 Rem.A common assertion is that gun owners don’t need to possess self-loading rifles, such as AR-15s and AK-style semiautos. For example, President Barack Obama told the National Urban League last week that “AK-47s belong in the hands of soldiers … not on the streets of our cities.” Illinois Governor Pat Quinn proposed a ban on high-capacity ammunition magazines and added, “There is no place in the state of Illinois for weapons designed to rapidly fire at human targets at close range.” In one of the following story links, Jesse Jackson even claims, “These are weapons for domestic, homegrown terrorism.” What do you think of these statements?

In the hands of soldiers ? The founders intended for us to be citizen soldiers, so inadvertently he told the truth.
As usual it puts the BS Meter off the scale. I liken the assult gun hate crowd to Wal-Mart shoppers. That being if there was no Wal-Mart then some folks would not have anyplace to go or anything to waste their time with. Replace with: If there was no Gun Ban Actions then some folks would not have anyplace to go or anything to waste their time with.
Ol' Jess and his sycophants are, in reality, nothing more than moving targets set up to draw breast beating dolts into the lime light so that the banners have something to point at as examples of why guns should be banned. One might, were one so inclined, hope that they become targets of a different sort.
How about having Jesse and his buddy Al debarked. Their speeches start more riots and trouble than any 30 round mag will do!!!!!!!!
It is the Bill of Rights, not the bill of needs. Stupidity in the useful idiots, and purpose in those who pull the strings.
I consider being called a terrorist by ol Jess and is ilk high praise. Debarked heck. Straight to the chipper with them.
Thats cute, trying to lump gun owners in with domestic terrorists. Also hilarious. Less than 10 years later 24% of all guns sold are "AR15" and 1 in 20 adults owns one or more and women are the fastest growing group of ar15 buyers. I think some gun grabber noticed that AR15s were becoming super popular and figured they could "do something". And after 2020 we know who the real domestic terrorists are. The organization who published that AR15 hit piece appear to no longer exist. Good job cataloging their stupidity.
