"Mrs. Feinstein's measure would exempt more than 2,200 types of hunting and sporting rifles; guns manually operated by bolt, pump, lever or slide action; and weapons used by government officials, law enforcement and retired law enforcement personnel,"

You wouldn't want the jackbooted thugs to walk around unarmed would you?

"Tyranny is defined as that which is legal for the government but illegal for the citizenry."

You have to understand, the swarm of secret service agents and private security these bozos are surrounded by would be next to useless with Uzi's with 7 rd mags in them.

Since they are more important than we are, they need the extra protection the hi cap mags offer.

Its actually pretty simple to understand once you drink the koolaid

Well how else do you think they plan to over-power the people. If they are forced to use the same weapons legal for citizens thats a even fight & the government cant be having a fair fight on their hands, they are outnumbered.

"Government Officials" makes it sound as if the law doesn't apply to non-LEO types, like Senators, Rep's, Cabinet Members, Czars, etc. I wouldn't expect it any other way.

If this doesn't show people that these fools think themselves above everyone else I don't know what would. But this is no surprise to me. Something has to be done about these idiots.

I'd REALLY like to see someone like Coburn drop a poision pill into her bill that kills any .gov or law enforcement exemption. If I don't need it, then neither does anyone else!

Noun 1. government officials - people elected or appointed to administer a government

Like so many other things, they law she is trying to pass only applies to the masses not the "chosen few". Typical

well if they do succesfully get a ban through (which I don't think will happen) there will be plenty of battle field pickups on full auto weapons and high capacity magazines.
