McCarthy’s Shopping List

Kim asks “So, children, your task for today is to study the list of semi-auto rifles on the list contained in the latest version of the Assault Weapons Ban, and see how many of them you own”:

`(xxi) Uzi, Galil and Uzi Sporter, Galil Sporter, or Galil Sniper Rifle (Galatz).

That’s 5 by name, but if Carolyn McCarthy wants gets her bill, she’ll ban nearly everything in my safe, because of this:

`(L) A semiautomatic rifle or shotgun originally designed for military or law enforcement use, or a firearm based on the design of such a firearm, that is not particularly suitable for sporting purposes, as determined by the Attorney General. In making the determination, there shall be a rebuttable presumption that a firearm procured for use by the United States military or any Federal law enforcement agency is not particularly suitable for sporting purposes, and a firearm shall not be determined to be particularly suitable for sporting purposes solely because the firearm is suitable for use in a sporting event.’.

I collect and shoot military and military patterned firearms.  That’s what I do.  If McCarthy gets her way, my days of collecting are going to be very numbered.

So, Congressworm McCarthy, care to explain to me how taking away guns from people like me would have saved your husband?
