Many Democrats did not vote for this also.

Nothing high capacity about a 12 gauge shotgun...

What we are saying is, the implement will change.

You haven't addressed intent, incentive, nor motive.



This is the crux of the biscuit.

Take away one weapon and those bent on doing you harm will find another.

Gun bans are nothing but feel good, do nothing measures that will inevitably lead to more gun bans when they don't have the desired effect.


Q: How do you eat an elephant?

And, armories dont work, as people keep their weapons and ammo in their home safe.

It proved ineffective.

During the AWB was


Mitchell Scott Johnson (born August 11, 1984) and Andrew Douglas Golden (born May 25, 1986) are former middle school students and the perpetrators of the March 24, 1998 massacre at Westside Middle School in unincorporated Craighead County, Arkansas near the city of Jonesboro

The Thurston High School shooting took place on May 21, 1998. Expelled student Kip Kinkel first murdered his parents before engaging in a school shooting at Thurston High School in Springfield, Oregon that left two students, Ben Walker and Mikael Nickolauson, dead and 25 others wounded

And Columbine.

Democrats even knew that law was worthless. All of what you'd consider an "Assault Rifle" was purchasable under that "ban". It also drove many non AR owners to buy them, and created an industry single handedly.

And look where allot of these companies were, like COlt, in CT. Think the state didnt benefit via taxes. Imagine if you knew a law was going to cause a huge price increase on something. Buy stock in those companies. Remember, its legal for politicians to do so.....hmmmm

The bans that they propose would only test the ingenuity of a person bent on chaos and destruction.

The Bath School disaster, sometimes known as the Bath School massacre, was a series of violent attacks perpetrated by Andrew Kehoe on May 18, 1927, in Bath Township, Michigan, which killed 38 elementary schoolchildren and six adults and injured at least 58 other people. Kehoe killed his wife and firebombed his farm, then detonated an explosion in the Bath Consolidated School before committing suicide by detonating a final device in his truck.

The Cologne school massacre was a mass murder that occurred at the Catholic elementary school (katholische Volksschule) located in the suburb of Volkhoven in Cologne, West Germany on 11 June 1964. The perpetrator, Walter Seifert, attacked the people at the school with a home-made flamethrower and a lance, killing eight pupils and two teachers, and wounding twenty-two others. When police arrived at the scene he fled from the school compound and poisoned himself.

The evil goes on and on and the implements all vary from home made bombs, knives, swords, etc...

Evil does not obey law. Evil can't be legislated or banned.
But it can be thwarted the moment it poses itself as a credible threat.
Via online, or when brandishing...

Wait. Did you just tell people to stop calling people names and then call them "little kids" in the same sentence? Do you actually engage your brain before you write?

I'm just going to leave this here...

It wasn't a "ban". Not being honest accomplishes nothing.

Then there is no point in making things as easy as possible for evil doers by allowing them access to assault rifles and various semi-autos. Much like explosives, tight regulations for guns are in order.
