Forty years...you mean, since the LAST assault weapons ban????Don't you??

I believe it when you say say that you've "...been hearing..." it, but have you actually been DOING anything about it, or does your sarcastic wit not carry you that far?
I'm glad that you are so comfortable with the current state of second amendment rights in this country.

Sarcasm is the weapon of the feeble minded.

What have I been doing? You have the nerve to ask? I am a bitching son of a bitch. Note the friends i keep for my efforts. Note the data I share, despite the unpleasantness of raining on parades of the fat cats and kitten followers.

Is "doing something" an armed revolt? against who? Your own pre-conceptions? You have to face the mirror for that. So Do It !

Glad you can perceive my DRIPPING sarcasm. To bad you can't see the truth. "Forty years" was reference to another member from yesterday, about conspiracy. Said he still hadn't seen anything.

well then, open your eyes, open your mind. the writing is all over the walls now. all of our "walls".

i believe i read "manufactured/possessed after this enactment date".

otherwise, no more:
