To go further as far as "military styled rifles only being used to kill people"...

I wonder if he even knows what the number one rifles used by people for hunting food during the Great Depression were?

As in, surplus rifles? MILITARY rifles? Cut-down Springfields, 1878 Vetterlis, all sorts of ex-frontline battle rifles. Because they were inexpensive and reliable. Bannerman, Sears, all those supplied many, many poor people with a reliable hunting arm and ammo for it.

I keep hearing a commercial being played on the local radio station on how Obama will protect gunowners rights and McCain will take them away. I yell bullshit every time I hear it. My co-workers agree with me.

What state is this in?  I'd love to listen to a copy of this radio ad.

They don't need guns if they can send the government to do their violence for them.

Ever wonder why THR and the TFL politics forums are shut down?  There used to be plenty of pro-Obama comments in there.  Seems the owners of those sites are too soft stomached to ban/restrict access to the trolls and astroturfers  =(

I swear gun owners are easy to walk over sometimes.

And yet everytime the issue comes up, some optimistic fool goes "They have learned that gun control is a losing issue" or "they are too busy with other stuff to worry about taking your guns". B.S.

As it goes, gunowners have very few friends, and EBR owners have none.

I am considering having all wood furniture for stuff like the FAL just because for some reason, wood = harmless to the antis.

When Obama wins do you think that he will go after gun owners? How far do you think he will take it?

When he wins, item number two on his agenda is the assault weapon ban. (Item number one is taxpayer funded abortions.)

See, unlike those deluded Obama supporters who respond with: "But but but he said...!" I look at a persons actions to form an opinion about them.

Obama's past actions (what few there are) and current rhetoric do not match up. So, you can believe empty promises or believe he will act true to his revealed character. (Actions reveal character).

McCain? His actions have proved he can be a moron. But for all that is wrong with him, I trust him to be an honest moron.

Obama? The only thing I trust about him is that he will do whatever he does for Barack Obama.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Only if you colored it pink. And purple. And add some fake fur trimmings (Pink and purple of course) where you can fit them.

As far as I can tell, it's just wood furniture on a normal AR.

That's gorgeous, and I've actually got a full-length set on backorder from Lakeside Machine as I type this.

(I'm building an AR in a 6.5 SPC wildcat for deer season up here...)

Might be a heavily modified AR upper. Note that the rail does not extend far forward? Wonder if that is for stripper clip loading...

I'm guessing that's a side charging handle, too...

Obama has supported gun control of all types in the past so I certainly wouldn't be surprised if that was on his agenda, I just doubt it would be #1 on the agenda. 

I am not sure Obama himself would be capable of pushing a particular piece of gun control legislation.  I do think he would likely talk about it and sign whatever Democrats put in front of him.
