Proposed 'Gun Ban List' (unverified)

I make no claim of the veracity of this information, but it is starting to make the rounds on the gun boards and blogs:
http://americannationalmilitia.com/obamas-gun-ban-list-is-out/
IF true (big IF with unverified info), it seems they learned from the '94 gun ban by adding the "or copies or duplicates" qualifier.

While I am far from complacent, I think they will have one heck of a time getting one passed this time around. These idiots can't even pass a budget. I am not ready to get upset over a proposed AWB just yet.
Somebody might make one similar and call it an Urban Street Sanitation Device, and they will ban it under the catchall category. By naming the Striker 12 specifically, it automatically excludes firearms of same or similar design.

What happened back then to warrant this clause? (i was barely a teenager when that went down)
Colt renamed their AR 15 rifles the Colt Sporter and Colt Sporter HBAR. I have both. :tooth:

I love workaround solutions.
So, what's yall's gut feeling? I'm thinking this is bogus. Obama has too much crap on his plate to even consider gun bans. And the Dems in Congress aren't that stupid.
But damn. That's a pretty ambitious list. I have the very first one, the M1 carbine. And after my last range visit, I have officially decided it is the most fun gun I own.

I don't think they will even try the assault weapons angle again. I think they'll go for banning it all, maybe through the U.N. Once these people get what they want they won't worry about public opinion and they'll do what they please. Therein lies the real danger to this country.
Are you forgetting that the UN Small Arms Treaty has to be ratified by Congress? and that the Congress has already told the President they won't ratify it?

I remember when that Law was passed tennmike. In 1968 I was 12yrs young. One other provision I remember in that bill,after it got passed, I could no longer go to the Western Auto and buy my .22 ammo. Mom or Dad had to sign for it at time of sale because I was not 21 years of age. To make a long post short here, a provision/clause in that bill said,in a nut shell if any ammo(.22 for example) can be used for both handgun and rifle, the buyer must be at least 21 and sign for it. IIRC I think I could still buy shotgun ammo and BB's.
...Also IIRC tennmike, and correct me, if I am wrong, we witnessed high profile leaders being assisinated in the USA that decade. John Kennedy, Martin L King Jr. the 11yr kid shot down in the streets of Memphis Tenn., during the civil unrest and riots of that time. What I am getting at is this: The American people were told that by passing the GCA of 1968 will reduce these violent/civil outbreaks and make our streets safer and:blah::blah::blah:. Wasn't this the same time period in America where the crack downs on so called " Saturday Night Specials" started?
The way I see it, (not including the Town ordinance), that Wyatt Earp,imposed about cowboys checking in their guns when they came to town, the GCA of 1968 was to me, the begining of total gun control and total gun ownership ban in the USA. Infant beginings if ya will, so to speak.
Saturday Night Special pistols derived their name from a racist term. And it's intent was no different than the laws on pistols passed after the Civil War. Had little to do with crime control. Crime was up, but a lot of the crime was related to the Viet Nam war and protest groups like Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) and the Weathermen. And the Black Panthers were getting some traction back then. And grass(Mary Jane) use was sweeping the country. So was LSD use.
On assassinations, John F. Kennedy was killed on 11-22-63, Martin Luther King on 4-4-68, and Robert F. Kennedy on 6-6-1968. GCA 1968 was enacted on 10-22-1968. Those last two got the gun control act passed.
O.K. I told a lie about being too lazy to look it up. Here's a link to how GCA 1968 came about. I suggest that anyone not familiar with this read it. It's sorta kinda long, but has background on the Act and has some statistics to go with it. Easier to talk about a thing if we're all on the same page. :tooth:

Others are made by Colt, and they have a lineage of surrendering the commercial market to get the military/LE.
That's the story being shown on the Comcast home/news page.
But will current powners be 'grandfathered' without the $200 tax?
What about currently owned full-autos? I'm hearing that's the next step.
Since everyone is already registered , confiscation is only a pen-stroke away.
They could, but they wouldn't. Plus, machine guns and M16s are made by FN, handguns by Beretta and Sig. The only "civilian" rifle makers for those types of rifles that supply the military are Remington and Colt, who are bound by contract to meet their quotas.
I would like to see some info on this supposed executive order. I can't find anything online.

If its time to bury them then it is time to use them as our forefathers intended.
