[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With the upcoming Senate Bill #16,  looks like the Dems will attempt to ban most guns, making a lot of VA citizens into felonies overnight.  
[b][u]We have a collection of antique guns with bayonet mounts, this will force us to sell or keep outside of VA[/u][/b].  All or nothing... is there really no middle ground in gun control?

The definition of an "assault weapon" in the proposed SB-16 covers only "semi-automatic, center-fire" rifles. Under both Virginia and federal law, an antique firearm is defined as being made on or before December 31, 1898. I've been collecting antique guns for many years, and have yet to see any semi-automatic center-fire rifles made before that date.

As to there being a "middle ground on gun control"......I suppose that there could be. The problem is that there are some people out there who are doing everything they can to make it illegal for private citizens to possess any firearms at all. And they won't budge in their belief that nobody except the police and military should have guns. Just take the time to read some of the really crazy posts on this board and you'll see what I mean.[/quote]

Just read the other firearm threads on this site. That is exactly what some of these lunatics want, tp punish the legal gun owners.[/quote]
