65. More people are killed in the USA by rifles than by Al Queda in last 10 years

Edited on Tue Nov-14-06 07:53 PM by billbuckhead

The reason for going after the most deadly rifles and military style weapons is because there is more public support for it. Large majorities are for banning this type of gun as opposed to pistols or shotguns because they see no positive utility in having them easily available. The AWB is low hanging fruit. We passed it once and can pass a far better one.
