You'll Get My Full-Capacity Magazine when You Operate the Cold, Dead Magazine Release
Posted by Frank J. at 04:11 PM | View blog reactions | Comments (28)

Got this from the NRA:

ALERT ! "Assault Weapons" & Magazine Ban filed by Florida Senator

DATE: December 20, 2004

TO: USF & NRA Members & Friends
FROM: Marion P. Hammer
Unified Sportsmen of Florida Executive Director
NRA Past President

SUBJECT: SB-500

It has started !! The threat by the Brady Campaign/Million Mom Marchers to reenact the Clinton Gun Ban state by state has started with Florida. The first Gun Ban bill has been filed for the 2005 Florida Legislative Session which begins in March 2005. The bill has not been referred to committees yet. We will notify members when it has been referenced and will provide email addresses to legislators you need to contact to help fight this bill.

SB 500 - Assault Weapons/Detachable Magazine Ban by Gwen Margolis (D-Miami Beach); Would ban the manufacture, importation, possession, purchase, sale, or transfer of any semi-automatic firearm defined as "assault weapons" and any detachable magazine capable of holding more than 10 rounds. It would require forfeiture and confiscation of any such firearm or magazine. Further, it would require the state to destroy any such firearm within 60 days after confiscation or forfeiture. It provides immunity from prosecution if firearm is voluntarily surrendered. Otherwise, it makes a violation of the provisions of this bill a felony of the second degree (15 years in prison and $10,000 fine).

Not just bans, but confiscations - including of magazines. Now, the only full-capacity magazine I had I gave to SarahK in a highly publicized event (I prefer 1911s with 8rd Wilson Combat magazines), but this is pretty messed-up. I assume there is no way this bill will get any traction, but who proposed it should be publically pistol-whipped by the governor as an example to others.

UPDATE: Here's the bill from the Florida Senate website. Here's Margolis's page. Here's her e-mail: margolis.gwen.web@flsenate.gov. Everyone send her a quick e-mail and tell her she is a muckadoo. If she asks what that means, tell her it's a slur for Hispanic Jews.

Rating: 3.0/5 (6 votes cast)

DAMN LIBERALS AND THEIR TREE HUGGING HIPPIE CRAP!

..oh yeah, FIRST!

I guess they haven't figured out if there are stock piles of assault weapons in Miami that they are to be used on a smallish island nation stuck in the pre-the Wall came down days, and not for any other reason...

#2 - Posted by: Curt on December 20, 2004 04:16 PM

Well, I have a design that lets you have two magazines in one pistol, and switches from the empty to the full one.

It works for rifles too. So now we need a law that states that 10 is not 5, and 5 is now 2.

So on and so forth.

Move to Texas, ya loser!

What a bloomy moonbat. She's even ignored ex-post facto

Frank stands and fights!

...especially in needed battleground states.

#6 - Posted by: Frank J. on December 20, 2004 04:41 PM

Good heads up, frank. I'm going to fisk her.

Hard.

#7 - Posted by: Confederate Yankee on December 20, 2004 04:47 PM

So...you get punished by the state for following the law? There is something called Ex Post Facto...By confiscating the guns and magazines, it is essensially levying a fine on people who followed the law until the law changed. The only way this could be passed is if that is changed to where the state buys back the guns at market price or the price paid for the gun, whichever is higher. Unfortunatelly, those liberals love to spend money, so they may try to do that, too. Be sure to write your congress people! If you live in Illinois, though, don't bother writing to Durbin. I've done that before and got a form letter back via email -- for the wrong subject.

#8 - Posted by: Junglejake on December 20, 2004 05:19 PM

Check out my blog for more pro-gun ammunition. This is one battle that will not go away.

#9 - Posted by: salt1907 on December 20, 2004 05:22 PM

Read the text of the bill... pretty ridiculous:

"WHEREAS, a Miami-Dade police officer was shot with a semiautomatic assault weapon the day before the federal assault weapon ban expired..."

They acknowledge that the previous ban didnt work, yet they want a new one? That makes a whole lot of sense.

"WHEREAS, according to the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, assault weapons are preferred by criminals rather than by law-abiding citizens eight to one..."

Ignoring the sloppy statistics, are they trying to increase the ratio to 100%? What is going to persuade criminals to turn in their guns? Free crack?

#10 - Posted by: Andy on December 20, 2004 06:16 PM

Free crack? Did someone say free crack? If I could get some free crack, I wouldn't need this uzi! Hmm...Work for the DNC or turn in my uzi...

#11 - Posted by: Junglejake on December 20, 2004 06:19 PM

Here's what I wrote the Fl legislature, attn: Ms. Margolis

I want to thank you for working to preserve the right to carry semi-automatic weapons with more than ten magazines of bullets. Whenever I'm visiting my folks in Florida, I always rent a semi-automatic weapon, just in case there's any problems while I'm driving my rent a car. I feel so much safer carrying a weapon that's effective enough that if my car breaks down in the middle of the Black ghetto in Miami, I can be sure of taking down an entire crowd of over a 100 in less than 3 minutes.

My folks aren't retirees. They're natives who refused to move when the neighborhood changed, so I really appreciate you work to help me stay protected.

You know a teddy bear may make you feel warm and fuzzy, but it's nowhere near as good as a (machine) gun.

I've been on disability for years, but sometimes being paranoid is a repsonsible way to be. (There's never a problem renting the gun, since I pay cash, and the guys at the counter know I'm so sick that I'm always an honest man -- that's the Thorzaine, for ya.) I'm just so glad I can continue to feel safe when I visit my folks.

Thanks again. I only wish I could carry a gun up North as easily as I'm able to drive around with my rent-a-gun in Florida. I'd feel a whole lot safer.

I just reread what I wrote. I didn't realize I had misspellings in it, but those typos actually make it seem more for real.

Boleslaw Schlabatinskyskya is my alias for making political comments. Note the initials.

#13 - Posted by: Boleslaw Schlabatinskyskya on December 20, 2004 07:35 PM

Hi Frank,
Thanks for the info. I sent her a very thoughful email to convince her of her irrational thinking. As you know you can attract more hippies with flies that with vinegar, or something like that.

#14 - Posted by: Danny Murdoch on December 20, 2004 07:43 PM

By definition, anything that can be used as a weapon, such as a pen, computer, paper, whatever you can use to harm someone is a weapon. Anything weapon that can be used to assault someone is by definition an assault weapon. So, the lefties want to ban everything, trees, rocks, glasses, condoms, you name it, they'll have to ban it because anything under the sun is an assault weapon. What tards.

#15 - Posted by: Greg Sullivan on December 20, 2004 07:55 PM

What's funny was the weapon control that was initiated durring Clinton's years. It was a class 1 weapons felony to send out anything with 128 bit encryption. If your software used it, you had to downgrade to 64 bit if you wanted to export your software. Naturally that's not the case anymore, but that always amused me.

To BS: How much of what you wrote was real? That just didn't read as something that may convince a lefty they're wrong...If anything, it would convince them to continue. I found out talking to some friends who have done the whole Florida thing that it's a conceal carry state. As a result, the number one target down there are people leaving the airports in a rental car. They were the only people the scum of the earth (criminals) knew couldn't shoot back since they just got off a plane. Apparently rental car places are removing their stickers from their cars in Florida since they're such prime targets of crime these days. So as long as you can get to that gun rental place, you should be ok. Hopefully you're never attacked by 100 folks, tho...

#16 - Posted by: Junglejake on December 20, 2004 08:24 PM

I'm not a Florida voter, but I am an Airman... can still tell her how much she insults every thing I do to keep this country free?

#17 - Posted by: on December 20, 2004 09:13 PM

wait! so my 16-rd magazine that i almost got arrested for would be banned in Florida??

#18 - Posted by: sarahk on December 20, 2004 09:34 PM

That's the idea, SarahK!

It's already banned in NJ (15 round limit?), MA (10 round?) and CA (also 10 round, nearly postive on that one.)

Then gun itself would be banned from DC (none since 1976) and some towns in IL.

You'd also need a firearms owner ID card in MA, NJ, and IL. Just like Cuba!

Purchasing a new 16 round (or anything above 10 round) magazine was illegal from Sept 13, 1994 to Sept 13th 2004 nation wide. It -had- to be manufactured before Sept 13th 1994 to be legal.

If you carry that little bugger over into CA, NJ, or MA you're probably comitting a felony. Even without the gun, IIRC.

"Shall not be infringed." sure does mean some strange things, eh?

You'll have yourself a true-blue California Assault Weapon pretty soon! Well, in CA a single shot rifle can be an assault weapon -- so that's not saying much. That is, aside from CA being dominated by barking moonbats.

Don't even get me started on the 75 point system that your German pistol had to pass to be imported. I presume it wasn't made in the USA, since it's Walther, but S&W -might- have made it. I dunno. I've only got one Walther and never got into them much.

#19 - Posted by: Justin Buist on December 20, 2004 10:03 PM

yup, 10 round max here in CA. and, a large teddy bear could be used to carry a small machine gun....

#20 - Posted by: moehawk on December 20, 2004 10:42 PM

I told you I was going to fisk her, and so I did. Hard.

And yes, it was good for me.

#21 - Posted by: Confederate Yankee on December 21, 2004 12:16 AM

Frank,

I'm not going to e-mail this liberal moonbat, since I'm from Missouri.

Since she is Jewish why doesn't someone direct her to http://www.jpfo.org/ -- Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership.

Let's also point out that she is in good company. Adolf Hitler, Joe Stalin...


#22 - Posted by: Mongo on December 21, 2004 09:13 AM

Frank,

Since I'm from Missouri I don't believe your moonbat will listen to me.

Since she is Jewish, refer her to http://www.jpfo.org/. Remind her she is in good company... Adolf loved gun control

#23 - Posted by: Mongo on December 21, 2004 09:18 AM

Ooops, double posted. Two shot foul

#24 - Posted by: Mongo on December 21, 2004 09:19 AM

Dear informed citizen,

Thank you for taking the time to write to me and express your opinions and concerns regarding those issues important to you.  Please know that I read and take into consideration every e-mail and letter received by my office.  More importantly, know that every question, concern, and/or issue raised in your letters will be promptly addressed.  If you reside within my district, please be sure you have included a contact number, e-mail address or mailing address, as I will do my very best to reply quickly.  However, as a result of the sheer volume of e-mails and letters received by my office, I am unfortunately unable to reply to all the correspondence sent from outside of my district.

Once again, thank you for sharing your views and concerns with me.  Please do not hesitate to do so again in the future with any other issues.

Sincerely,

Gwen Margolis
State Senator
District 35


I don 't think she read my email

#25 - Posted by: Greg Sulivan on December 21, 2004 10:17 AM

Greg, I got the same form letter.

Odds are that the dolt saw that the comments were negative, and didn't even both to read them.

#26 - Posted by: Confederate Yankee on December 21, 2004 11:44 AM

Looking at her picture on her site you can see that she is the perfict poster woman for the term BITCH. No amount of rational discussion will reach this MoonBat. You might also notice that although she lists her children and grand children there is no mention of a husband.

#27 - Posted by: Algen on December 21, 2004 11:56 AM

Greg - that moonbat probably signed it with an autopen.
Check her District Office - she represents the anti-Christmas crowd down in Bay Harbor Island, FL - in the Miami suburb of Bay Harbor Island, town officials there banned the nativity scene on public property while okaying a menorah for Hanukah. So Sondra Snowdon, a resident, sued. And today, she won.
Bill O-Reilly did an interview with her - http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,141777,00.html
