US Senate Committee Approves AWB & Mag. Limits

I'd like to see the complete video of the hearing today . I read that somebody else brought up pornography and how it is not protected by the 1stA . That would seem to blow his ( Cruz ) argument out of the water . When you think about it the constitution is often restricted and curtailed . I bring this up because I think it's how the anti's will try to make there next argument on the floor and especially in the media .
 
Well, Ted Cruz brought up the comparison in accusing Sen. Feinstein of banning some books but allowing others. After some hemming and hawing, Feinstein fired back with "child pornography is illegal."
 
Its on the Senate Judiciary committee webpage. And Pornography is protected. Child Pornography is not. AR-15s are protected as - to quote/paraphrase the Majority opinion- in common use for a lawful purpose. M-16's are not.
 
I would absolutely love to get large numbers of our opponents on record comparing us with child pornographers. It would be very clearly stepping over the line and would do them a great deal more harm than good.

I agree but my point is , I'm sure if you look hard enough you will find all kinds of constitutional restrictions that are law . The anti's will bring each and everyone of them up as to show not only has the constitution been restricted but the courts have upheld those restrictions . Therefore restricting the 2nd a little more is not that big a deal .
 
Metal, you are entirely, even technically (which is more difficult) correct. I think we've all seen that being right hasn't meant a thing in this debate. If we could fire up gun owners because they were being labeled this way that could make a huge difference. The emotion working for us instead of against us. Think of the NRA ad's alone.
 
While Sen. Cruz did indeed make Sen. Feinstein look like a fool (imploding bullets, indeed). She's a fool who got her reprehensible bill to the floor of the Senate. If she becomes the fool who gets a permanent AWB passed who will be laughing then?
 
Just sent another round of Emails to my reps. I will be making phone calls tomorrow.

I hope this is not the only place that we are discussing this
 
Well, considering Sen. Feinstein had a 10-8 party advantage, I applaud Sen. Cruz for pointing out the idiocicy of this legislation.

Not much else the man could do. 10 is always better than 8, unless your counting strokes.
 
I don't know too much about Sen. Ted Cruz, but it appears he, and others like Rand Paul, are really starting to shake Congress up. It will be interesting to see what happens with them in the near future.

Proud of them and Gov Perry.

As she said in response to Cruz, she's been around a long time. They can't just ignore her. So, they let her bill go before the Senate for a vote.

I'm glad she didn't write a more modest or moderate bill; the extremity of this one will be what kills it in short order.
 
I just watched the Cruz/Feinstein exchange. Okay, I know there are no "imploding bullets" in use but she also refers to child victims at Sandy Hook being "dismembered." How the heck did she get there? Was there any freak "dismemberment" of even a pinky to justify this claim?
