You BOTH are missing the Point. It should be brought to a referendum to be Voted on.

if the law is to be changed, congress should change it, that is how we were designed...
I am not a legal expert, who knows?
but florida loves referendums...but remember, florida gains about 900 people a day, mostly from the n.e., mostly liberal Yankees who hate guns...who would vote against AR/AK any day of the week.
or at least, hate us southerners with guns
I think we can presume that Members here are adequately informed and are capable of a responsible voting.
IDK, but what chafes my ass is the "Few" rules over the "Majority". I thought we were a Democracy, where the Majority rules. I just feel the Public should have the final say in such matters, as in a referendum. So WE ALL can Vote on what we want and don't want. These decisions should not be made from clueless elected officials going with flow to procure future re-election votes.
Banning firearms and firearm accessories is not the answer. Stricter background checks to ensure the mentally insane and unstable are flagged to prevent them from obtaining a firearm is a better step in the right direction.
Where do you draw the line in as much as doctor-patient confidentiality? When the patient is deranged. That info should be mandatory reporting to NCIC. Sure I believe in privacy laws, probably more than the next person, but there is no place in our society for a crazy to be walking around with a firearm or to even possess one. Call me what you please, but I feel this is one aspect of the privacy laws that should not be private. I'm not saying blasting it on the news or whatnot, or even detailed on a drivers license check, but it should be included in the NCIC database during background checks that will aid in preventing a crazy from obtaining a firearm. This information should be kept in confidence with a reporting agency, and exempt from public information. The reason for a background check rejection should also be kept confidential from the dealer/seller/ffl checking it. But the fact that it was declined stops that particular sale.
just my .02
I was wondering the same thing.I laughed when I seen that the Mini-14 with a folding stock would be outlawed. So if you have one without a folding stock it would be ok? Yeah these idiots do not even know what they are proposing.....kinda like O'dumbo-care.

Josh Sugarmann, founder of the Violence Policy Center, was supposedly behind pushing the misleading "Assault Weapon" moniker.Generally people don't know the difference between a commercial AR15 and a machinegun because the gungrabbers and the majority of the media tell them its the same thing and gloss over it with the physically threatening term "Assault Weapon".
The so-called "assault weapon" is a term invented by anti-gunners, specifically Josh Sugarman in his March 1989 paper titled "Assault Weapon: Analysis, New Research and Legislation." In it Sugarman recommends exploiting:
"...the public's confusion over fully-automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons [sic] -- anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun..."
Having moved to the Pace area within the last year I would like to know if there is an active group that monitors firearm related legislative proposals in the state. I moved here from a state where we really had to band together to stop the politicians from sneaking through laws that negatively affected gun owners. We usually had sufficient time to contact our state Senators and Representatives and express our concerns and we were able to keep the misguided laws to a minimum. I will say, that the NRA lobbyist in the state was instrumental in getting various groups organized and helped fight a lot of these misguided proposals, but I don't know how active the NRA is here in Florida.
I found a couple of on line groups that claim they do what I am looking for, but their web pages either don't appear to be very active or look more like a scam site.
Bottom line, the anti-gunners are really pushing right now and I would like to add my support to help in stopping them.
