We already have a Federal Law the states agreed to a long time ago that states have illegally disrespected. It is called the SECOND AMENDMENT. Please read the Constitution.
I am one of those that believe

A) The second amendment was and says it was for militia's.

B) They had no way of knowing how firepower changed over the years.

C) If the second amendment is so " sacred " then why are there ANY regulations at all? Don't the current US gun control laws fly in the face of it?

D) following an amendment written in the 18th century about 18th century technology in the 21st century is madness.

Rules and guidelines are created and changed to suit the needs of the people. If the majority of Americans wish to see a change to an Amendment then that will happen. I wouldn't repeal the second amendment, I would just add wordage that would make it only applicable to state militias.

I just resent it when foreigners interject themselves in our affairs. Sorry about that. I don't suggest how you run your country nor do I interject in your countries affairs on the internet or anywhere else. I guess I would expect the same.
Wow, I had no idea I had so much power! Who knew posting on CD could influence US policies?

As for " foreigners " interjecting...I suggest you see what your fellow citizens on CD do and say about foreign affairs...then move onto your government.

EDIT: As for why I care more about what happens in the US than say Italy? Because I have family and friend in the US.

Those weapons were very effective in the three greatest shootings in American history, which all occurred before the invention of the auto loading rifle.

maybe. when people are packed in like sardines, aim becomes somewhat irrelevant.

The same kind of fools that thought Prohibition and drug laws would stop drinking and drug use are the ones that think gun laws will work.

Knowledge and technology are out there, in the public domain. There are dozens of resources on the regular web that give detailed instructions on all sorts of bad things. FFS, McVeigh got a good chunk of his idea out of a single book. Do we outlaw books and knowledge too?


Yep, banning just about anything these days is fast becoming largely symbolic.

They were not made legal, the ATF had no authority to regulate them. If it was simply an ATF issue then why do you suppose legislation is required to ban them. Feinstein’s assault weapons bill in 2013 included a ban on bump stocks but it failed.

Impossible, repubs for 8 years said Obama was on the verge of taking everyone’s guns, so did the NRA, who was lying?
