Reply #192: I don't want the ban strengthened. "Assault" rifles are no different than [View All]

regular semi-auto hunting rifles in the way they function. They only 'look' like military weapons. The only part of the ban that made any sense was the high capacity magazine (detachable thing that holds the bullets) ban. If the bill's proponents cared anything about reducing the lethality of guns, they would have simply agreed to drop the gun part of the ban and kept the magazine ban. That would have passed.

And the Beltway shootings were terrible. My point was obviously that psychos who want to do that sort of thing can't be stopped. It would have even happened in Australia.
