So now we need to be gun experts to talk about them? I didn't realize this. Do I need to own an AR, wear some sweet tactical gear or maybe post some pics of me being awesome with my guns to let people know how much I know about them?
Please school me on guns, ammo and Realtree. Enlighten me. Maybe then I will be able to make a more intelligent comments.
You didn't pass 8th grade English, so maybe you shouldn't type/speak.
You wouldn't be able to identify what types of guns they banned in 1994 if they were sitting next to you with a big, red, arrow pointing to them. You're totally clueless.
Here is how clueless you are on the subject.

Eh but let the NRA and fanatics whip everyone up into a frenzy to believe Obama is going to knock on your door and take your guns.
Where is anyone saying that [they] are going to come knocking on our doors and take our guns? That's not what's being discussed here. We're talking about a ban on not only guns, but accessories that go along with them, I.E. no longer available for sale. The guns we own are not going anywhere. But the future sale of these guns is what's in limbo. Even the rednecks understand that. But you don't. You don't have a clue. You didn't have a clue in 1994 and you don't have a clue today.
Sure, there is more to the purposed legislation, but I really can't see a registered gun owner license, or photo ID, ever being constitutional.
It's okay though, Garrett. You don't have to talk about it. Just because there is a thread here on Dweb does not mean you have to participate in it. No one was missing you. If you want to skool us on Black Helo's, cool. Obviously you know a lot about Black Helo's because they fly 5-miles from your house and you felt you had to mention that, so maybe you're an expert on Black Helo's. (Then again, I remember you telling me, with a straight face, that the side of the mtn opened up like a Bat Cave so AF1 could land at Mt. Weather on 9/11, lol). But you don't know dick about guns and you sure as shit have no clue about what legislators are trying to do about the gun laws. You just don't understand, and maybe you don't even really care. But to say there is not a cause for alarm is just plain not true.

It's good to be sure that your government is doing what's in the interest of the people and keeping them as honest as possible, but it's another to be paranoid that they are out to take away all your rights.
So soon do we forget about
District of Columbia v. Heller

In case you do not understand, Garrett, and I'm sure you don't, this means that the Supreme Court ruled that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to keep and bear arms, whether or not associated with a state militia. The scary part, for us, is that this was a 5-4 vote by the Supreme Court. 5 to 4. Do you understand this, Garrett? A 5 to 4 vote. If this was a 9-0 vote, or even a 8-1 vote, I would agree with you that folks are being paranoid about new gun laws, etc... But the vote was 5 to 4. This is a cause for alarm.
You in your eyes, all the rednecks were running out buying guns and camo in 2008 because Obama was elected President. See? You don't know dick about what's going on. It wasn't because Obama was elected. It was because there was a 5-4 vote in the Supreme Court and there was a very good chance Obama would be seating a new Justice which ultimately could swing that vote to a 4-5 vote if it ever came back up. That's a lot different from the Assault Weapons Ban talk going on today. People are buying guns, ammo, accessories, etc... now in fear of them becoming unavailable in the future.
Will there be a new ban on assault weapons? Who knows. You don't know. I don't know. The NRA does not know. No one knows. But it is possible. It's as possible today as it was in 1994. And to think that it's just paranoid rednecks out buying guns and camo is just plain wrong. Just look at the treads here on Dweb about who's buying these items. There's a preacher, dentist, doctor, mechanic, college students, VETs, the list goes on. Just because these people did not go to some Yankee school to get fucked in the ass as a child does not make them any less of an American as you are. These folks are not ignorant as to what's going on. What's happening today is real and it's frustrating. The folks buying guns today are sending a message.
But you don't care either way. So just take a backseat.
