In 1994 Dianne Feinstein wrote the federal law that banned so-called assault weapons for 10 years.
Data compiled by author Louis Klarevas, found that gun massacres dropped by 37 percent during the decade the law was in place.
Of course the other side will come back, and try to show the statistics are inconclusive.
We don't need to encourage mass capacity assault weapons on our public streets by civilians.
The other argument I hear is that people use it for legitimate purposes, for hunting or target practice.
Gee, I wonder how they used to hunt in the sixties without those multiple capacity assault weapons.
While background checks, and other safeguards are necessary to prevent such weapons from getting into the wrong hands, making them illegal is a deterrent to them being used.

Keep playing logic game, but don't forget you thoughts and prayers for the victims, because one thing we know for sure, people having mass capacity magazine weapons have one purpose, and that is to kill people, and I am really tired of the crocodile tears from those who throw their arms up and say nothing can be done, in spite of the fact that it WAS DONE ONCE, so it CAN BE DONE!!!
