Banning Guns works...

Explain me how all guns are not "assault weapons". Are some guns "nice to look at and hold" devices? Who sells "non-assault" guns? Links?

Is the 14-round magazine semi-automatic plastic stock Remington 66 that I got for Christmas as a kid in 1970 an "assault weapon"? I think so; it's assaulted and killed many a squirrel.

I like your quote. Lincoln was a great man; would have made a great President, if he hadn't been gunned down in the streets of Laredo.

I think you are confused. Lincoln invented the light bulb..and then helped Henry Ford perfect the V-8 engine. That's why Henry named an entire line of cars for him.

Good question, since the term "assault weapon" was manufactured for no other reason than to mean "the kind of weapon we want to ban".

And what would the hue and cry be if this kid had a couple revolvers and a shot gun? Hell, just a shot gun? "Well, we've banned everything else. We'll just have to accept this..." No and hell no. This is about gun prohibition, pure and simple. ALL guns.

This entire argument of magazine capacity is devoid of any rational thought or analysis. It does not address the key point; would those kids be alive if 'assault' weapons didn't even exist? Would one less be dead? The answer is 'no'. More may have died. Less may have died.

This was a fial - because you could buy from the next state and take across state lines.

What? If I am a Maryland resident I can't buy a gun in Virginia and take it back to MD. It has to be shipped from one FFL in VA to another FFL in MD and I then buy it from the FFL in Maryland.

uh..no. You buy it where ever you found it then that FFL dealer ships it to one in state that you designate. The one in state charges a nominal fee for performing that service; 35 bucks is typical.
