Pols vow to revive gun ban

Taking on assault rifles

DAILY NEWS WRITERS

Local lawmakers pledged yesterday to work to reinstate the recently expired ban on assault weapons.

U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer said he hasn't given up trying to renew the ban, which fell by the wayside two weeks ago.

"Not continuing the ban on assault weapons is one of the great disgraces this year," Schumer (D-N.Y.) said, promising that members of Congress will take up the cause during its next session.

A story in yesterday's Daily News showed how the once-banned weapons can pierce through concrete and even some bulletproof vests.

And some law enforcement officials fear the powerful guns, once used to guard drug dens during the height of the crack epidemic, could make their way back into New York City.

"The Daily News talked about people having AR-15s," Schumer said. "Nobody needs an AR-15. These were designed as weapons of war. ... They should be abolished."

Mayor Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly aggressively lobbied to keep the 10-year-old ban in place.

Earlier this month, the Republican mayor took the unusual step of taking President Bush to task for his inaction.

"I think every congressman and every senator has a responsibility to stand up," Bloomberg told reporters. "And I think the President can do more."

Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-Queens, Brooklyn) accused the President of cozying up to the National Rifle Association.

"Every police organization and even Commissioner Kelly said these will make the streets less safe," Weiner said. "In the showdown between the NRA and the overwhelming majority of the population and police officials, President Bush chose the NRA."

Until they are seriously threatened with the prospects of seeking new employment or are compelled to seek new employment, these antis won't change. Bellesiles is unrepentent for the fraud he perpetuated against his institution and the American people.

Shows how little the writer knew. Such weapons were never banned. Only boyonet lugs, folding stock, flash hiders, etc. Those things don't affect ability to "pierce through concrete."
 
Somehow it makes sense that one of the anti-gun new yawker talking heads is named Mr. Weiner.

And Schumer says "NOBODY needs an AR15". Well, there you have it, Chuckie. Then you ought to be pushing for a state law that bans LEO agencies from using them - since NO ONE needs them.
 
I'm almost certain that all elected officials on the Federal and State levels swear an oath similar in wording to that of the president. It seems to me that violating that oath would be grounds for sanction, recall or impeachment. You CANNOT swear to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution then turn around and attempt to infringe the right of citizens to keep and bear arms. I don't know which is more stunning, the blatant arrogance of the officials who do this or the complacency of an electorate that allows it to happen.
 
They're both stunning. But you see, gburner, Mr. Schumer and others, assuming that (a) they remember their oath, and (b) that they have a conscience about fulfulling their oath (these are wild assumptions, to be sure), they still can rationalize their gun-banning activities, since they believe, or at least purport to believe the BIGGEST LIE told by the anti-gun groups, that being that the 2A RKBA is not an individual right, but somehow strangely "the people" means a right reserved to the (federally-controlled) state National Guard units.

Yes, and so will every self-respecting "hunting rifle" in this country. So is every hunting rifle next on the ban list? (the answer is YES, of course they are - so pull your heads out of your arses, you hunters that think that the bells doesn't toll for thee - preachin to the choir....I know). The ignorance of these reporters knows no bounds.

The primary malfunction in all of this rhetoric, is that if you dip****s in NY want gun bans, then by all means, have bloomberg, weiner, the commish, and all the other morons ban every gun in your state! Go for it - but don't have chumpie chuckie push your bans on the rest of the country - their should be a law against federal legislators who don't grasp the concept of state's rights, like our friend chuck the schmuck.
 
What's this? All Democrats* in the story???

I thought that MB and Handy said that the Demos couldawouldashoulda been on the kindasortamighta side of the RKBA??? Feh!

*Bloomberg was a Democrat all of his life. He put the (R) after his name to stab his fellow Demonrats in the back. By putting the (R) after his name he didn't have to waste his time competing with the other rubes in the Demonrat primary. How unlike a liberal to knife his fellow libs in the back eh? :rolleyes:
