Arguments that we will never stop all shootings by restricting access to such weapons fails to account for our strong and common desire at least to stop many of them - or any of them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think, for me, anybody who is a terrorist should not have access to firearms.
We have to fulfill what the real meaning of the Second Amendment is: reasonable access to guns for self-protection and for hunting. And there's no room in America for these semiautomatic, automatic and other kinds of weapons that are simply designed to cause mass havoc.
Instead of saying we need to outlaw certain types of weapons, we need to find better ways to enforce current law.
The people that are proposing banning assault weapons, well, first of all they're already banned. Assault weapon is a fully automatic, those are already banned.
The knee-jerk approach of those who want to control firearms may not be the solution.
I'm a firm believer in the Second Amendment and the Bill of Rights. I don't think you should infringe on the type of weapon somebody should buy or the number of rounds in a high-capacity magazine.
I've come to the conclusion that military style weapons really don't have any place in our society. We ought to reinstate the assault weapons ban that served us well for 10 years from 1994 to 2004.
You can have bans on assault weapons or whatever weapons you wish, and it's not going to protect from a violent person.
I don't believe there should be any restrictions when it comes to firearms. None.
We need to stop spending money on those weapons systems that do not advance national security.
