- Stupid people want to do stupid things. Liberals are uneducated, and unintelligent. Do any of them talk about 1934? No, any idea why that's relevent? Because in 1934 "Assault weapons" were banned. You have not been able to buy a new "assault weapon" since 1934. There have been exceptions, and in the 1980's all new "assault weapons" were banned period. "Assault rifle" is a "new" made up term by liberals simply demonizing guns that LOOK like military weapons. So, is looking like something enough to make it illegal? Some cigars look like joints, some cars look like professional race cars. I could go on and on. The fact is, hunting rifles have the same exact capabilities as these so called "assault rifles" but liberals are uninformed, uneducated, and just down right too stupid to know the difference, or what is good or bad for this country. How on earth does creating legislation which will prevent honest, law abiding Americans from buying guns, stop criminals which care nothing about the laws from possessing them? The only people who will obey the laws, are NOT the ones who are breaking them. Seriously, how stupid do you need to be in order not to understand that? You don't blame blame the car for drunk drivers, and ban cars. You don't kill off all the animals because of poachers, so why do these idiotic liberals want to ban guns because of murderers? There is no justifiable answer to that.

- Keep your handguns and your rifles. No one wants them but you. The assault weapons have got to go.

- The problem is moral decay, not guns. Our WWII vets did not come home and commit mass murder. We are seeing a lot of whit males committing heinous acts with guns - maybe its because they are being forced out of society because of leftist feminists. We also see gun violence in Democrat controlled cities. Democrats have been a failure in helping the urban population. This is not a gun problem, its a people problem. Its easy to see through the anti-NRA.

- Can anyone actually believe banning handguns would have prevented these thugs from getting a handgun?
