While I am sure this sounds great to some here, it isn't going to help Democrats win in swing states in 2016.

As for 2) Grenade launcher: People can't own rifle propelled grenades, they would be considered a destructive device by the ATF and that's presuming they are still being made, which I doubt. So can someone please explain how banning a rifle that was capable of firing now non-existent rifle grenades is going to help public safety and reduce crime?
