Personal safety is your own responsibility. Law enforcement happens after the murder occurs. If you can't "hold the fort" until the police arrive, you will probably be out of luck. I want unrestricted access for the law-abiding to the same weapons and ammunition the police would use to save me and my family. Let felons and the violently insane jump through the hoops. Add them to the National Instant Check(NICS)database, HIPPA secrecy laws be damned! http://www.assaultweapon.info/

Here is a good link describing the differences and the hype about the firearms which "assault" the sensibilities of the anti-gunners. you know, those people who feel protected when they carry a CELL PHONE!

I also want to post this poem by Darrell Scott from last week's House Judiciary Committee's subcommittee. - dougroberts

Scotts statement was from May of 1999... if that was last week to you I'd like to borrow your time machine.

all assault weapons should banned just like cocaine and a 20 year wu: "prison sentence....no need for military equipment I'm surprised the stupid nra aren't trying to make hand gernades legal to go "hunting"!!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH"

The weapons they, and you, are talking about are NOT military weapons. They are civilian weapons that look like military weapons - clones. It's like a Ferrari kit car built on a VW. It may look like a Ferrari, but it drives like a VW.

WooHoo2You - "Typically the "anti-gun crowd" likes facts and does not pretend that your random Dirty Harry want-to-be is going to save the day in every mass shooting."

As more anti-gun supporters drive weapons out of our society, they just create more large groups of victims for the crazy insane and mentally challanged to exploit. I realize it is overstated and simplified, but guns don't kill people, people do. I especially want to express my agreement with Doug Roberts comments in support of Darrell Scott and the idea of gun safes. I have numerous firearms and two teenage boys. I would never let them have access to these weapons unlike the mother of the Newtown killer. They are in a safe. I agree it should be a requirement of all gun owners as described by Doug.

Your laws ignore our deepest needs, Your words are empty air. You've stripped away our heritage, You've outlawed simple prayer. Now gunshots fill our classrooms, And precious children die. You seek for answers everywhere, And ask the question "Why?" You regulate restrictive laws, Through legislative creed. And yet you fail to understand, That God is what we need!

Darrell Scott is the father of Rachel Scott , a victim of the Columbine tragedy.

Assault guns are already strictly controled. They are full auto weapons and you would have to have a Class 3 license to own one. Any gun ban would make no difference .These massacres are happening in gun free zones. Gun free zones must not be without armed law enforcement.I do agree with Mr.Lapierre of the NRA. Our police precincts are geographically located , so are our schools . Lets place our police precincts in our schools , it's just that easy. Also , if gun buyers have minor children in their home , mandatory gun safes are required , or if mentally challenged minors or adults also live in the home ... mandatory gun safes , mandatory secure weapons. Attack the problem at it's source people, don't change the rules that quarantine law abiding citizens. Evil will present itself any way possible. Evil will fabricate feterlizer bombs , fly airplanes into buildings , whatever and whenever.

The definition of an "assault rifle" is very vague indeed. The writers of the Brady law did so to cover as many weapons as possible. The sad reality is, other than appearing more menacing... most standard hunting and target rifles can AND do perform the exact same thing. Hence in the wrong hands, can kill just as effectively. Bans and more laws are not the solution. Neither would have prevented any of the mass shootings our nation has endured. How about enforcing the 20,000 laws regarding firearms we already have, and begin mandating mental health providers block gun sales by contacting the National Instant Background (NICS) system when a patient shows signs of mental illness.

Not much for the anti-gun crowd to crow about when the facts are presented-Barfly

Typically the "anti-gun crowd" likes facts and does not pretend that your random Dirty Harry want-to-be is going to save the day in every mass shooting. BTW, your typical anti-gun person as you call it is not anti-gun however wants reason barriers preventing the insane or criminals from EASILY obtaining deadly weapons. But the NRA / GOP says that is crazy talk.....
