What's the next federal gun restriction now that congress could change

We have to be planning for the next round of federal gun restrictions now that these barely pro gun republicans in congress (who are actually mostly socialist globalists) could lose part of congress in 06. The worst president since L.B.J. has killed what little good was left in the republican party, which is reminiscent of Klinton's killing of the dem party by his actions. The Republican's credibility is gone, so it's just a matter of if voters are mad enough to do something about it. This party has become the party of big, intrusive, arrogant, corrupt government that reached a head in 1994 and drove the democrat half of the coin out of power. The republican congress is seen by many now, as just a water carrier for a positively evil administration. While I would love a divided government again and some gridlock, the prospect of the democrat half of the coin running part of congress again makes my gun safe shudder.

We can either complain or we can prepare. If the repukes lose part of congress, gun restrictions will start getting not only tacked onto bills, but will be used as bargaining chips with the other house. Even if they don't lose the senate, that body is already in the anti gun column as we speak.

If the globalists that control both parties run Guliani (under the "republican" half of their coin), he will probably win. Guliani is a "knowing conspirator" like daddy Bush (as opposed to being a mere script reader like the current occupant), and will be extremely dangerous to the 2nd amendment (not to mention other privacy issues like possible "patriot" acts part IV, V, VI etc). Guliani (not much worse than "W") would be about as bad as Joe Biden in the white house, so it's congress that represents the possible shift.

For years, I've suspected that the BATF at any time could up and order owners of "open bolt" semi automatics (of which I have two) to register them as machine guns. They've already been ruled as such, and judges have held that possession after such a ruling (as in the case of drop in auto sears) is irrelevant. I still believe that this will be the next major administrative move by the powers that be as far as guns are concerned. Their semi recent brazeness with making "street sweeper" and "USAS" 12 guage owners register their guns as destructive devices "or else" tends to corroborate my suspicions.

So, what restrictions should we be preparing for if the voters punish a "yes man" congress for the actions of a downright scary and tyrannical executive branch? I think it will take a couple of years for gun restrictions to gain momentum (as bargaining chips) if the dems take part of congress, but if we wait until then to pay attention, there will be a run on some guns.

1st, I don't think near enough gun owners own a 50 BMG. If one gets conveniently used in a crime, registration is a real possibility as a "compromise" to something worse. I also don't think near enough gun owners have an AK rifle. Robinson is somehow still able to import those nice RPK (Ruchnoi Pulemet Kalashnikov) AK receivers, but for how much longer is anybody's guess.

Since I check the anti gunner's websites at least weekly, I've been able to notice a disturbing shift in their confidence level. They know that bush is obliterating the credibility of the republican party and is on the defensive around the clock. No one running for re election to congress wants this president anywhere near them (for good reason). It sucks, but people are starting to look to the democrat half of the coin to save them from runaway (real) inflation, a massive deficit, and a suicidal (actually globalist) foreign policy. Bush is continuing to lie about his "guest worker" program and saying it's not amnesty, to soften the betrayal of his base but it isn't working because no one's buying it.

Basically, I thought this thread would be a good idea when I noticed that the anti gunners seem to be quietly giddy about the real possibility of getting some help in congress thanks to bush's help.
 
I think you will see maybe 2-3 republican seats lost in the senate in '06 as well as about 10 seats lost in the house. That's all.

"Fly-over" america is being trampled on quite a bit, though. I made sure to get my M1a this last year...Probably want to get an inexpensive .223 caliber autoloader too, like an SU-16 or Saiga AK clone in .223. In fact, my next gun purchases will be in this order:

1. Walther PPK .380 (CCW gun)
2. .54 caliber black powder hawkins rifle (easier to get drawn for hunting with BP)
3. M1 garand
4. Saiga or SU-16 in .223
5. .243 Left-hand bolt action
6. .300WSM Left-hand bolt action
7. .50BMG Single-shot

I don't have a lot of faith left in the Republicans... 10 years and they have done nothing for us but "allow" a bad law to sunset.

To their detriment, they initiated the Patriot Act and then re-instated it again at it's sunset. They have ignored illegal immigration. They have listened too much to the democrats, rather than enacting the legislation that they campaigned upon during their 2000, 2002 and 2004 campaigns. They haven't shouted with a unanimous "NO!!" to this kooky idea that people have a RIGHT to health care at the expense of the government/taxpayer.

I want Social Security gone. I want it to begin to be phased out ASAP with Bush's privatization. That's the only really good idea he had.

I want the south border closed. If you don't know why, come to Arizona some time and I will show you. I will show you illegals streaming across broke-back canyon-desert country where the border patrol finds it too tiring and difficult to get to. I will show you what they do to the economy here in AZ, how they damage it.

I think the next federal restriction will be ANYTHING chambered in .50 caliber. This includes .50BMG rifles, S&W .500 revolvers, and .50AE pistols. They are obviously "WMD's" to the uneducated public, capable of bringing aircraft down, initiating intercontinental war with china from the west coast, and sniping french heads of state from the east coast. They are a niche ownership group. Their weapons are very disparate and unrelated. Not many people would be effected, but it would set a precedent for the control of existing unregulated calibers, paving the way for the control of .45acp, 9mm, .223, .30-06 and .308.
 
How about CCW in National Parks?

I'd like to see federal law changed so that a person can CCW in a National Park if he has a CCW permit from a State adjacent/contiguous to said National Park.

Where I live, the Blue Ridge Parkway is one of the better roads, but it's not just another road, it's a National Park ... I have a CCW permit but I cannot legally drive around the block without stopping and rendering my weapon inoperable and inaccessible. And local hillbillies get caught up in absurd federal laws because they have hunting rifles in their trucks.
 
Probably won't be a Congressional action... more likely a Bureaucratic function which allows our Congresscritters a clear conscience (lol) and lets ATFE & Treasury types offer their own revised and refined definition of "sporting purposes" ala GCA '68/86 ad nauseum.

Count on .50 BMG's becoming "Destructive Devices" like Benton did to the "Street-Sweeper" 12 ga semi-auto awhile back.

Sooner or later they'll have to do something about "Black Powder", both weapons and the actual powder.
 
I'd have to vote Jimmy Carter as one of the worst modern presidents.

Agreed...Him and Klinton = "the dynamic duo" as far as disgracing our country and the oval office

I agree with MADISON somewhat.

The easiest to get rid of: the executive orders banning Chinese importation. This could be viewed as a "open arms welcome" for trade, etc.

Then, repeal the "sporting purpose" clause.

Then, repeal the bad spot on the '86 FOPA.

I don't think we'll see the '68 GCA or the brady bill go away in our lifetimes though, but... BATFE could change drastically here in the next few, once OIG gets through with them.
 
The road to Hell is paved with "reasonable gun control"

I think the next federal restriction will be ANYTHING chambered in .50 caliber. This includes .50BMG rifles, S&W .500 revolvers, and .50AE pistols.

IMO, this is a likely scenario. The 50s represent a small segment of gun owners, and there are way too many gun owners who are stupid enough that they think, "Hey, I don't own one - no problem!"

The fact is, it is a BIG problem. The socialist antigun bigots will take whatever they can get away with. To them, a gun is a gun - outlaw it. That's one of the tools in their kit.

If they can outlaw certain calibers of guns on the installment plan over the years, what will the outcome be in 15 or 20 years?

They will sell it to the sheeple as "reasonable gun control."
it would set a precedent for the control of existing unregulated calibers, paving the way for the control of .45acp, 9mm, .223, .30-06 and .308.

My point exactly. Many gun owners would go to war over the outlawing of .45ACP, .45 Colt, .308 and .30-06 caliber handguns and rifles. By then, it could well be too late to stop it.

We absolutely must fight tooth and nail against the outlawing of ANY gun or caliber, whether we own one or not.
 
I think the antis are (pardon the pun) Gun-shy since the 1994 ellections, cf
John Kerry's clumsy attempts the portray himself as a shooter and hunter in
his failed presidential bid. What you will see is a lot of nibbling at the edges, incramentalism, stealth tactics and flank attacks rather than head on assaults, attempts to diminish the RKBA through bureacratic rule making and
the liberals favorite, Government by Judiciary.
 
I think the 50 bmg will be # 1 on the list with a complete ban on guns and ammo.
Any military type semi auto rifle especially the AK and possibly forighn made ammo in 7.62x39.
And dont forget mr Gore's idea that we all might need a card to make a gun purchase issued by state or fed gov.
The last one bugs me the worst because it means that we the people have accepted that gun ownership is a privlidge allowed by our gov.

With politicians its not about whats good for the American people or our country in any aspect' its only about geting elected.
