A very simple poll on gun control.

56. There doesn't have to be.

Simply forbid the sale of new semi-automatic long guns.

If you were to push for that, then all this stuff about bayonet lugs and "assault weapons" and folding stocks and stuff simply goes away. If it's a firearm that automatically reloads and resets itself after each shot, then it's a semiautomatic and cannot be sold anymore. Period.


It's when you try to say that SOME semiautos are okay to own and SOME aren't, then things go to hell. And trust me, all those pro-control politicians that are getting laurels shoved up their butts for "taking on the NRA" and "taking on the gun lobby"? Yeah, they're not addressing the issue, either. They're recycling the same cosmetic bullshit that Clinton and other Third Way politicians did back in '93.

But they're sure happy for the positive press coverage and the support of progressives and independents.
