Ban the ammo. Collect all the guns you want, make ammo for assault rifles and pistols illegal for sale and private ownership under 10 year prison penalty. Put some teeth into the legislation.

You can have a shotgun for home defense (the best weapon for home defense), rifles for hunting, but ban private ownership of pistol and assault weapon ammunition. Licensed, inspected gun ranges can keep your stockpiled ammo and you can store shoot there. All bullets sold in this country should have a serial number to trace it through ownership and sale. Too expensive? Too bad.

Close the absurd loopholes that define an assault weapon, too.

"Well regulated militia"

If we're going to make the leap that the 2nd Amendment does not refer to a standing army and instead private citizens, "well regulated" means this country can decide which weapons are acceptable and which are not for private citizens.

How about if we just set a guideline as to what defines an idiot. Then if you are found to be an idiot you are not allowed to reproduce. Eventually we should have the perfect people we are looking for and all will be good.

You do realize, don't you, that "assault weapons" use the same ammunition as "regular" weapons.

.223
7.62 X 39
7.62 X 51 NATO
.306
8 mm mauser
.30 carbine
9mm luger
12 guage shotgun


Gee- Which one of those types of ammunition do you want to ban?

Oh, yes it will. You cannot own a rocket launcher. You cannot own ammunition.

Isn't that hilarious? Liberals always contend that they are for "freedom", when in fact the opposite is true. Liberals are always trying to ram thier opinions down the throats of others and tell them how to live.

This country has a history of transforming tragedy into action. Amber alerts. Megan's Law. Shame on the country if nothing of consequence results from this LATEST slaughter.

I think you mean 308 and its the same round as the 7.62x51 NATO also the 8mm goes in no assault weapon I have seen. Its a bolt action round for the most part. Also its not the ctg its the semi large cap mag that creates the problem. If everyone of those were in single shot, it would not be as deadly as in the semi configuration.
