kirkwood,
That coward, Warren Reily, has been all over the TV today. WVUE, Channel 8, New Orleans, did a hatchet-job of a story on this ban. The majority of the story was all about the dangers of assault weapons, and the good that a ban does. Very little time was given to pro-gun comentors. In the WVUE report, they compared Camden, New Jersey to New Orleans, to show how there have been "only 20 murders" this year- just "6 from bullets". Camden has a long-standing ban on "assault weapons", and the tone of the story leads one to believe that this ban is the only factor in reducing muder to 20- just 6 from bullets. I do not recall the WVUE repoerter, Sabrina Wilson, stating Camden's "assault weapons" murders for the years before the ban. Reily is a coward, just like Eddie Compass before him. Cedric Richmond is "a hunter", but thinks there is no civillian use for assault weapons. Nagin? Well we know he is always up to no-good.

The Louisiana Legislature convened in late March for its 2008 Regular Session. Several anti-gun bills have been introduced and referred to the House Administration of Criminal Justice Committee.
State Representative Cedric Richmond (D-New Orleans) has once again introduced a ban on semi-automatic firearms, this time it is House Bill 68. Although he has dubbed this bill the "Assault Weapons Protection Act", make no mistake - it "protects" nothing and bans guns, subjecting people who own banned guns to fines and imprisonment - with hard labor - for up to two years.
HB 68 would ban pump-actions as well as semi-automatics, and millions more firearms than the Clinton "assault weapons" ban of 1994-2004. His definition of "assault weapon" would include numerous autoloading and pump-action deer rifles, autoloading .22 rimfire rifles, some 19th century pistols, as well as many firearms with a "military-style appearance" used for self-defense, target shooting and hunting. He even preposterously makes the claim that these firearms are "equally as dangerous as machine guns and explosive devices." The bill goes on to ban firearm parts such as muzzle brakes, ported pistol barrels, and other commonplace firearm accessories, calling them "assault weapons conversion kits."
I predict that this one will go nowhere also.

It is not about reducing crime, it is about controlling the serf and slaves that the public will become.
