"Assault weapons" is simply a phrase for weapons with military killing


force. I am not a gun nut and don't claim to know, but there are certainly people with experience, military or law enforcement, who do believe that not all guns are equal in terms of killing power. Nobody knows if a Gatling Gun would have been made available to any citizen in 1789, if such a thing existed. Saying "there is no such thing as..." with a shot at the evil MSM is just kind of a red herring. Should something with the killing force of an AR-15 be generally available. Whether you like the label of not, that should be open for discussion.

Until such time as the no-fly list is declared unconstitutional, IMO those on it should not be able to buy a gun. Let the legal challenges come - hopefully that hastens a decision on the constitutionality, and at the very least brings about due process to challenge it.

Otherwise, I don't have too much disagreement. I am not interested in a gun ban, and I agree that basically we are trying to make sure people who own guns are responsible.
