So...now that the Democrats have both houses, the primary anti-gun congresspeople have been re-elected, and a virulent anti-gun ownership lady is Speaker of the House, what can we expect...and what can we do? IMHO:
1. The Assault Weapons Ban will be reintroduced...greatly expanded.
2. The right to possess pistols will be highly limited.
3. Registration will be expanded and made tougher...higher penalties, possibly annual fees per gun.
4. High taxes on firearm sales, ammunition, and reloading components
5. Firearms newly deemed to be unacceptable, despite being registered, will be confiscated for destruction without compensation. (Remember what happened in California six months after folks duly registered their M1 Carbines and AR15s?)
6. The Kennedy/Kerry Bill to outlaw rifles with cartridges strong enough to penetrate existing police vests will be reintroduced. (What was that...anything more powerful that a .30-30?)
7. Pressure to restrict/prohibit internet gun sales and gun shows.
Folks, we HAVE to get more involved in politics...let your elected congressmen know where you stand...organize...support the NRA, the 2nd Amendment Foundation, and other prominent pro-gun groups, with both money and personal effort. Invite non-shooters to go with you to the range. Fight efforts to do away with formal .22 target shooting in high schools, the Boy and Girl Scouts, and summer camps.
Otherwise, you might just as well pack up your firearms and call the police to pick them up now.:banghead:
