Well, a ban on possession is confiscation so I guess they're going to have to buy a bunch of magazines.

It starts with 10 then down to five and then nothing,every right you give up is a step nearer tyrany. If we have such a large pro gun Republican majority then we must call our representatives to stand firm on any proposed kneejerk regulations, if they are not able to hear then maybe we do need a third party ,the Tea Party? Obama is a master at saying one thing and then regulating around the Constitution. The call for civility is just another name for Political Correctness. The boot is on the other foot now for the Democrats and they don't like it, so manipulate and pacify your opposition with the call for civility.
It's really a mental health issue and a lack of will to do anything about it, but it's so easy to go after law abiding citizens ,soon to become subjects !. Remember Rahm Emanuel's ,Never let a crisis go to waste.

Seems to me the last time I was in London (over 10 years ago), the London police not only had semi-(full?)-auto rifles, but were wearing armor. I wondered about the need for that when "nobody" had guns. Seemed curious at the time. Almost asked one of them about it, but decided it might not be taken well.

A good point which seems to escape the anti-gunners here as well. They envision a world where no one has guns except the military and the police, but if no one has guns, why do the military and police need them? There's only one reason, really, so these people are either extraordinarily delusional or they actually seek tyranny.

One sentence: "Leave our guns alone!" Go find solutions to real problems, like debt and trade deficit.
