First, a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. These are tools of war and have no place on our streets. Assault weapons are not necessary for those who want to hunt or have a means of self-defense in their home. They are simply too dangerous and can cause too much damage for people to be able to acquire them legally.
Second, we must require universal background checks for those purchasing guns. We cannot have differing standards for acquiring a gun just because it happens through a private seller or in a different state. |

I can legally buy a bolt action .30-06 or .375 H&H Magnum, and you would restrict me from a lowly 5.56 mm because it looks deadly? |

Notice the writer does not identify as DNC or GOP. Either way, we Deplorables will find out, and elections are coming. GOP, we need your vote.

Since I refuse to use Facebook, I can't sign in to comment.
However, I will make note here:
Per U.S. v. Miller (1939), so-called "assault weapons" are within the ambit of Second Amendment protection, which provides that arms in common use that have militia utility or are any part of the ordinary military equipment and could contribute to the common defense are those the amendment was intended to guarantee. As a matter of fact, AR-15s and the like are textbook examples of this description.
This is precedent. Why it isn't cited in repelling so-called "assault weapons" bans is a mystery that drives me NUTZ. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
