Nobody's taking away your guns. Limiting the types of weapons allowed to be used by the citizens has already been in effect, in case you didn't realize.

Last I checked, surface-to-air missiles are banned. So are tanks. And hand grenades. Are your panties in a bunch about those, too?

Do you LIKE seeing mass murders and cop-killings? Because, other than making the impotent feel powerful, that's what assault rifles and high-capacity magazines are all about.

As Ronald Reagan said, "I do not believe in taking away the right of the citizen for sporting, or hunting, and so forth, or for home defense. But I do believe that an AK-47, a machine gun, is not a sporting weapon or needed for defense of the home."
