Looks like they are planning to ban guns in the lame duck session once they are voted out in November....... at least that's my read.....and they will get to do it unless rino's like mcshame, graham, and snowe stand up to filibuster.........but these p***ies will roll and we will not be able to own guns.....mark my words......if you though the 1986 ban was restrictive.....you ain't seen nothing yet!!!!!
we're talking no magazines over 5 rounds, $1.00/round ammo tax because carbon & lead are deemed "Dangerous substances", no barrels shorter than 20 inches, no pistol grips on long guns or shot guns, more 922r regs that you have to purchase certain parts from us factories....and then no factories will be issued permits to make the parts.....
This is it.......this is where they kill the 2nd amendment......right here....right now.....and the normally powerful NRA lobby will have no pull because they have already been voted out of office.

Oh, let me see who's chairman of the Senate Judiciary?Originally Posted by warwoman
Oh Oh ........Patrick "Leaky" Leahy
...and what's his agenda?
Had to look here to see if it was on the progressive list agendaThe Committee Chairman
Patrick J. Leahy, VermontPatrick J. Leahy of Middlesex, Vermont, was elected to the United States Senate in 1974. Leahy is the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, a position he has held since January 2007. He also served as Chairman from June 2001 through January 2003.
A graduate of Saint Michael's College in Colchester, Vermont (1961), he received his Juris Doctor from Georgetown University Law Center (1964). He served for eight years as State's Attorney in Chittenden County, Vermont. He gained a national reputation for his law enforcement activities and was selected (1974) as one of three outstanding prosecutors in the United States. Leahy is also a senior member of the Agriculture and Appropriations Committees, and serves as the Chairman of the Appropriations Subcommittee on State and Foreign Operations.As Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, Leahy is a major force in the myriad issues the committee handles. He is a key advocate for government transparency and for the public’s right to know. A former prosecutor, he is a champion for those serving in law enforcement, for first responders, and for the victims of crime. In 2007, he introduced and guided to passage the OPEN Government Act. The law imposes real consequences on Federal agencies for missing the 20-day statutory deadline for Freedom of Information requests, and established a new agency to oversee and ensure government FOIA requests and policy.
Leahy is a longtime protector of civil liberties. Leahy authored and advocated legislation to restore the right to habeas corpus for all Americans, a right that was stripped in the 2006 Military Commissions Act. He has spoken out in the case of Maher Arar, a Canadian citizen who was wrongfully detained by U.S. authorities and eventually sent to Syria, his country of birth, where he was tortured for more than a year before eventually being released. Soon after taking the gavel again in 2007, Leahy created the Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Human Rights and the Law.
Leahy is a leader in enacting laws to protect privacy rights, copyright protections and freedom of speech on the Internet. He is the co-founder and co-chair of the Congressional Internet Caucus. He is a leader on several privacy issues, including Internet and medical records privacy. Leahy held Congress’s first hearing in 1994 on privacy concerns relating to electronic medical records.
Leahy is the chief sponsor of the Innocence Protection Act, which addresses flaws in the administration of capital punishment. Parts of Leahy's death penalty reform package, which were enacted in 2004, will reduce the risks that innocent people are executed by providing for post-conviction DNA testing and better access to competent legal counsel.
As a senior member of the Senate, Leahy is one of few Senators to have voted on the confirmation of every sitting member of the current Supreme Court. During his time as Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Leahy has overseen the confirmation of hundreds of judicial and executive nominations.
Patrick Leahy has been married to Marcelle Pomerleau Leahy since 1962. They have a daughter, two sons, two daughters-in-law, a son-in-law, and five grandchildren. The Leahys live on a tree farm in Middlesex, Vermont.

Senate committee to hold hearing on gun regulation reform
By Chris Moody - The Daily Caller | Published: 2:00 AM 09/09/2010 | Updated: 2:39 PM 09/09/2010
The Senate Judiciary Committee announced it will hold a hearing next week to discuss a bipartisan bill intended to update federal gun measures and reform what critics say is an outdated firearm licensing process.
The bill, which was proposed more than a year ago, specifically addresses inefficiencies and problems within the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives by eliminating certain restrictions on gun ownership and modernizing operations within the bureau. Committee Chairman and bill co-sponsor Patrick Leahy, Vermont Democrat, called for the hearing, and will announce the list of witnesses later this week.
