Your torture excuse is bullshit. Torture is a form of violence. Assault weapons are a means of inflicting mass violence. That is their only purpose. They are not a right. The same culture that condones torture is the same culture that legitimates assault weapons, and typically the same people. The Tea Party is big backers of both. There is nothing in the constitution that privileges mass murderers above the rest of us.
Your attempts to pose as a civil libertarian are laughable. I don't believe your self serving canard for one minute. And I doubt any Democrat on this site is stupid enough to fall for your ruse. This is about gun profits above human life. That and the incredible sense of entitlement by people who think they are the only ones on this planet that matter, and that their so-called rights trump human life is thoroughly repulsive. As offensive as you may find it, others Americans besides you have a right to life. The constitution provides no guarantees for the rights of murderers or for the weapons that enable them to slaughter 20 people in sixty seconds. It is not a civil liberty. It's pure, unadulterated evil.
Only in America are they people so perverse they equate civil liberties with the machinery of death. We truly live in a diseased culture.
