Reply #103: Sure, ban assault weapons.......

[wartrace]

Lets forget that they are only used in less than 3% of gun homicides. They LOOK SCARY!

Lets not do anything about handguns, they are only used in 85% or more of the gun homicides, no sense in doing anything about that now, is there?

The assault weapon ban is an "easy" gun control victory. Next they will go after "sniper rifles" which I suspect will include most of the popular hunting rifles. Nobody needs a rifle, a shotgun is just as effective for hunting, isn't it?

Yep, "solve" a non problem. It will make you "feel" good.

To tell you the truth, how could you blame a gun owner if he/she decides to vote to protect their rights? We all know that the "gun control lobby" will never go away. They will not rest until all private gun ownership in the United States is banned. If gun bans are part of the agenda we will lose votes. Maybe people won't vote for the opposition but they very well could stay home or vote third party.

Gun control is the biggest loser issue that the Democrats ever embraced. It has cost dearly in the past, just ask Al Gore why he lost his home state in 2000. You do remember the "million Mom march" the mothers day before the election, don't you?
