Just goes to show how clueless the sponsors are. It doesn't matter how many inanimate objects they ban. Those intent on criminal actions will find a way to commit their crimes. Much the same as the fools that believe they can legislate a path to Nirvana will never stop trying to impose their "vision" of a perfect world on the rest of us no matter the consequences of their efforts.

this bill is either going to die in committee or get shot down in the House. In any case, this bill will not pass

I think it's cute that the bill's number is my favorite caliber.

Ok, as someone who doesn't own a weapon but is pro gun rights I don't understand how this is a bad thing. Please explain.

I think we should ban high capacity car engines. No Porsches, Corvettes, Vipers, Ferraris. After all, you don't NEED it, right?

It's a knee jerk reaction by a group of well established anti-gunners attempting to use the emotions resulting from the shootings in Arizona to further their agenda. Every step they make toward restricting our rights brings them one step closer to their goal of completely neutering the Second Amendment.

It's akin to death by 1000 cuts.

Guns are designed to kill. Comparing them to cars is illogical.

Good, nothing will secure an amazing Democratic loss in 2014 like a gun control bill attempt.
