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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The so-called assault weapons ban is a hoax. It is a political appeal to the ignorant. The guns it supposedly banned have been illegal for 78 years. Did the ban make them 'more' illegal? The ban addresses only the appearance of weapons, not their operation.
You can have bans on assault weapons or whatever weapons you wish, and it's not going to protect from a violent person.
I support an assault weapons ban, and I'll tell you why. We already have one in California, so I don't support doing anything above what we do in California.
We need to ban assault weapons. We need to ban the high-capacity clips and magazines. We need serious background information, system upgrade.
There is no way the American public will sit still for the banning of or putting any significant restrictions on the kinds of guns they want.
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.
I think you can ban guns if you can just pull the trigger and 60 bullets fire out.
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.
As soon as you define what an assault weapon is, you know, you can't sell a weapon, and here's how we describe it, gun manufacturers just make one adjustment or two, and they say, 'See, this isn't subject to the limitation.'
Instead of saying we need to outlaw certain types of weapons, we need to find better ways to enforce current law.
