The white house is in discussion with various senators about what they can do to ban certain magazines and reinstate the 'assault weapons' ban. This could be one of the most distrubing potential moves in a since Obamacare. |

Unfortunate timing. I have been saving up (very slowly) for an AR15 of sorts and was hoping that this could wait. Passing any of said measures might make people feel better because they've done something, but it sure won't help protect anyone. Edited by Nova, Dec 18 2012, 10:34 PM.
