I think they are finally realizing that stricter national gun laws is political suicide. Look how many Congressmen lost their seats after the 94 ban passed. However don't be lulled into a false sense of security. They might not do it all at once, but it would be easier for them to do it a little at a time.

They don't have to take the rifle all they have to do is that the ammo in one way or the other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! watch for the snake in the grass they will get you when your not looking

not becuse everyone is buying up.. they cant get shipped to the retailers..

Could someone please tell me why any law abiding citizen would want or need an assault rifle? Surely, no one uses them for hunting or even for target practice.

As I understand it, our policemen would like to see a ban on assault rifles because they are being shot at by criminals using them, and the assault rifles are used by the crazies who shoot up the schools, workplaces, and day care centers.

Mexico police find machine gun, grenade in drug cartel's arsenal

12:00 AM CDT on Wednesday, April 15, 2009

E. Eduardo Castillo, The Associated Press

MEXICO CITY – A woman was arrested guarding an arsenal that included an anti-aircraft machine gun – the first weapon of its kind seized in Mexico, police said Tuesday.

The arsenal belonged to a group linked to the Beltran Leyva drug cartel, federal police coordinator Rodolfo Cruz said. It also included ammunition, five rifles, a grenade and part of a grenade launcher.

Mexican drug cartels' higher-powered weapons, even military-grade arms such as grenades and machine guns, have left police grossly outgunned.

Cruz said the confiscated .50-caliber anti-aircraft machine gun can fire 800 rounds per minute and is capable of penetrating armor from more than 5,000 feet. Police on a routine patrol Monday found the gun fitted atop an SUV at a house in northern Sonora state.

This is what I heard about ammo. Don't know if it's true. Sounds like it is.

OK, I was wrong. Some law abiding citizens do use the guns for target practice and hunting. [I also had thought an assault gun was automatic rather than semi-automatic]. I'm not naive enough to think making something illegal will prevent people from getting their hands on something....look at drugs and at the failure of Prohibition. Hey, maybe we should legalize drugs and tax them like tobacco and alcohol. Might help put a dent in the national debt.

I wonder if the ammo shortage is partly being caused by the drug cartel wars in Mexico? With all the shooting going on down there and along the border, they must be burning through ammo at a rapid clip.
