Nebraska Assault Weapons Ban

February 21, 2008
By

State Sen. Brad Ashford has re-written his assault weapons ban in Nebraska, which has cleared committee and is now in the full legislature.

Ashford wants to create a blue ribbon, Assault Weapons Commission, that will report back to the Legislature by next February 1st.

The commission would list which specific assault weapons should be banned.

I can just imagine those committee meetings now: “Guys, this gun looks scary, let’s ban it.”  And during all this, there’s one lone guy on the committee who’s not dumb, and keeps pointing out things like “It’s a .22!” or “it’s a hunting rifle!” to no avail.

    I’m writing my Senator right now, luckily Sen. Ashford’s district stops one block south of mine.

    Petey;

    Swing by joemerchant24.blogspot.com to help us coordinate the defense.

    Sadly, I believe my office falls in Ashford’s district.

    Does he really think thousands of gun owners are going to let a few political appointees in Lincoln tell them what they can and can’t have in their closets, safes, and gunracks?

    Let’s make sure those thousands hear of it before it’s a done deal. Get crackin’, freedom fiends!
