The ar-15 is not an assault weapon it is a defensive weapon please quote me if I'm wrong.It's black and looks scary. Many of them have pistol grips and collapsible stocks which make them exceedingly dangerous.

You already cannot purchase a handgun in Omaha without registering with the police first thanks to Suttle in his eagerness to please Bloomberg.

It doesn't matter that you are right. What matters is the misinformation works on the sheeple. Every time some says "assault weapon" to me I politely ask which militaries in the world use an AR? Never have had an answer yet. The problem is these jokers get TV time and we don't.This is exactly right. Truth is almost irrelevant to the issue of "assault weapons." We had dinner a few weeks ago with some friends. They are very conservative politically, but are not gun owners. When we got on the subject of gun control, the wife quite sincerely argued that there was no reason why anyone should have weapons "with that sort of firepower." She automatically assumed that the weapons the politicians were looking to ban were the same arms used by the military. (I figured I wouldn't tread on that ground just yet). You should have seen the confusion on her face when I explained how the weapons being discussed are functionally no different than any other semi-automatic rifle out there today and are in fact less powerful than most of the hunting rifles used every day to hunt deer and elk.
Suttle’s four main opponents—independent Brad Ashford and Republicans Dave Nabity, Jean Stothert and Dan Welch
What Chuck Connors does with that lever action during the intro would make him wet himself
Looking at the websites and such for all of these folks, I don't like any of them. Sigh.
Let's focus on making this his end.... No complaining about the NRA or other things. We have to focus... Jean Stothert is the only person running for Mayor who has told me personally that she would like to see the registration go away and an end of the tie between Mayor Bloomberg and Omaha. We have to send a message NOW.. ! ! ! Youmake your choice ... Mine is to defeat Suttle in the primary.... I don't even want to see him in the General election... Lets make this happen.

I just want to throw in that Dave Nabity is very Pro 2A as well. I haven't specifically asked him about the Omaha gun registration, but I will the next time I see him.
I also agree it would be great to knock Suttle out in the primary. However, I think the only way he gets knocked out is for Ashford to take away a good chunk of his base. I'm just not sure he can do that. :-/
So, IMHO it's going to be either Suttle/Ashford going up against either Stothert/Nabity.
Full disclosure: As a personal friend, I'm a big Nabity supporter so make sure everyone gives him a good look. ;-)
Since you have better access than most of us, you may want to ask him what his reasons are to be in support of OPD's "gun amnesty" program. I have NEVER seen any proof that it reduces crime.

Gosh, Dave's a member of the Gun Owners Association of America. :-[
My problem with his response is he didn't answer the question... ::) He has stated before that he IS in favor of the amnesty program.
Hey Dave, it's "Gun Owners of America" - try and get it right next time, OK? And maybe you could join NFOA?
I had thought it started with Stothert coming out as pro-gun, pro-2A. Now seems like others are jumping up with a quick "me too!" after seeing public reaction. Time will tell the truth hopefully.
As for Nabity's quote on gun amnesty, if it's just a feel-good measure that will have no effect then why throw your support (and potentially my tax dollars) behind it? Asserting a platform of ineffective governance doesn't impress me much.
I would really appreciate if we could come up with some ideas for a REAL Call to Action in Omaha, to ensure that Suttle will not be re-elected.Law-abiding citizens all over the world would appreciate these two-faced politician types being imprisoned for lying to the people they are supposed to "govern".

You are absolutely right. "Assault weapon" is nothing more than a term used for propaganda.
I prefer the term "modern rifle."
;D ;D ;D
Our domestic enemies will continue to use lies - I will use the truth.
Personal Defense Weapon sounds too much like a euphemism, and it's technically incorrect, since any weapon might be used for personal or community defense, including a revolver or the Biden double barrel; it doesn't refer to a more or less specific type, but to weapons in general. Even a knife could be a personal defense weapon. The terms 20th Century arms or modern arms are accurate and descriptive, and can not be called euphemisms even by the most heavily indoctrinated liberal sheep, but they still counter the assault weapon lie..I like the idea of using PDW. As politicians have proven time and again, it doesn't really matter what the truth or definition is. Let's take it and use it to control the language for whatever purpose or reason we want.
The term assault rifle is a translation of the German word Sturmgewehr (literally "storm rifle", "storm" as in "military attack"). The name was coined by Adolf Hitler as a new name for the Maschinenpistole 43, subsequently known as the Sturmgewehr 44, the firearm generally considered the first assault rifle that served to popularize the concept and form the basis for today's modern assault rifles.
I believe Hitler's engineers designed the first assault rifle under the guise that it was another sub machine gun. Hitler liked it so much that he christened it the Stermgewehr 44 (assault rifle).
