Murphy as soon as you put a sign in front of your house and your office that says "this is a gun free zone" you can talk about bans, otherwise (and I mean this in the nicest possible way) SHUT UP!

Senator Murphy, you swore to defend "shall not be infringed."

If you did so fraudulently, resign.

There´s no such thing as an assault weapon. There are automatic guns, semi-automatic guns, and single-shot guns. There are no assault weapons. Period.

Did Republican Gingrey really say he´d consider universal background checks for all gun purchases? if so I hope his phone rings off the bleeping wall with calls from angry constituents who tell the Congressman his career is over if he votes for a gun grab. Who is this rino?

Time to vote these mugs out of office!

I can assault you with a steak knife. Heck, with a butter knife. Does that make all butter knives assault weapons?

I say, bring it to a vote and make that a ROLL CALL vote so those who vote for it, OWN THEIR VOTE!!!

Then we will see how many are "ready" for a ban on legal firearms and the votes of those who own them.

Congress is shooting for that elusive 0% approval rating.

FTA: Sen. Murphy: Congress ready for ban on assault weapons.

But, Sen. Murphy, we´re not.

Blowing smoke. Trying to gin up support by saying support already exists, like one dumb ox starting a stampede of dumb oxen. The majority can read their mail, and see what´s happening at gun shows.

This "assault weapon" BS is a politically semantic way for elected officials to have cover for voting against gun rights. The left is in love with creating "just the right wording" to manipulate the masses (i.e.: the affordable care act or card check). All they needed was the next good crisis and hysterical media publicity to get this rolling. The answer is an immediate legal challenge to any ban. Immediate because the ultimate judgment is from SCOTUS and if Obama succeeds in stacking that court with more "Wise Latina" extremists, then we know how the latest "interpretation" of the 2nd Amendment will go.

The real issue is the ammo. Walmart and some online retailers have put a hold on ammo orders once their in store stocks have sold out. Call corporate and ask why, they said they are waiting to see what Obama does with the 2nd amendment first,

Assault guns vs what... Hug Me guns? Progressives spend massive time & $$ dreaming up nominclature that will elicit the response they need to an issue.

GOPers need to speak the truth... 74% Americans want to keep the 2nd Amendment.
Both Australia & the UK had crime increase radically after disarming their peeps.

Quote statistics on crime in gun free zones like Chicago!

More people in the US are killed by hammers. That´s a fact. Will Murphy stand up and unite with demonrats and ban hammers? These brain dead demonrats have to be put to pasture when their terms are up.

#1, you are right, but as with every other law or regulation passed by these corrupticrats they will carefully exempt themselves and favored supporters. They will always enjoy armed protection. We do indeed have a royalty in this country, and most of them live in D.C.

Republicans are going to be more open on more intrusive background checks simply because it beats out and out gun bans.

On the other hand,the more info you give to the gov´t,it´s easier for them to pinpoint who are where their political enemies are.

If you were a strategist of a government overthrow/takeover, having the addresses of your enemies would come in quite handy.

Keep in mind that banks operate at Obama´s mercy and he could simply pressure them to stop handling gun/ammo transactions.

These yo-yo´s just don´t get it, even when you draw them a kindergarten level stick figure picture describing the process to them...don´t tread on me, and don´t miscalculate the will of We the People, as was done with the health care debacle, that is an upcoming train wreck headed our way, after we said NO...listen!!!

Its worth mentioning that regardless of where you live, you can call or FAX ANY Congress critter. Frequently. THree times a day if you´d like.

disapproval pouring in from national sources (not just constituents) messes with their heads, no matter waht anyone tells you.

Just sayin´
