It's a big knee jerk reaction spurred on by the news media which I believe to be pretty much bleeding heart liberal. I do agree that we need better control of gun purchases to at least try to limit acces to guns by persons with mental issues, criminal histories etc. If that requires a two month background check to make the first firearm purchase, so be it. I have to defer to some with better legal minds than I have to work out a solution to this difficult issue.
I myself have no problem at all with banning outright the sale of or, for that matter ownership of assault type arms. The were designed for the sole purpose of taking human life and have limited sporting application. I know almost every gun enthusiast sees this as just the first step to banning all firearms but I disagree. We gun owners have a quite a bit of political clout but we have to stick together tightly to wield it effectively. Sounds like an NRA propaganda blurb I know but it's not. I quit the NRA when I finally got tired of being constantly hounded for more money.
The saying "When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have them." is all too true. As I have posted before, I'll part with my guns on my dying day.
We all need to let our elected officials know our feelings and be ready to put up one helluva fight.
Another thought, any crime committed with a firearm needs to be made a capital offense with the death penalty automatic upon conviction and without appeal. We don't need to be babysitting and supporting any more Allgier type scum.
