    Maybe not, and banning semi-autos won't work either.

    Guns aren't bad and can't act on their own to hurt someone. Do you ban all priests because of the acts of a few?

    I suppose those pictures frighten you. It's just a rifle and a shotgun.

    Nah, but he is most likely part of the greek mafia that is a heavy influence in the area of northern Pinellas county in FL. Nothing better for criminals than to have civilians unable to protect themselves.

    You really dont know your history

    Assult weapon is a term that originsted in WWII referring to a specific weapon developed by the germans

    The NRA had nothing to do with the term

    Nor does the NRA sell guns

    It protects my 2nd Amendment right to own a gun

    So as soon as a Republican rethinks his position on a contemporary issue, he is no longer a Republican, even if he still holds other views that have been ok'd by the right-wing masters for Republicans to believe in?

    I have a hunch he’s pretty liberal on other issues too

    The republican party is full of them

    They know they cant get elected as the liberal they really are so they pretend to be republicans

    But once they get elected the act different

    So I doubt if he had to rethink anything about guns

    He just decided to say what he really thinks

    A republican breaking ranks with conservative ideology is like cat nip to the left. They think that if one will not hold conservative values of self protection, then there will be others that will follow. Sorry, but I don't see the GOP screwing hard core left like the dems have done, promising even more free stuff as time goes on.

    With your logic we should ban the Catholic religion because of the actions of a few.. Let me guess not only were you a former NRA member who seems to be the only one that saw all kinds of "racist" stuff you are a Catholic as well right?

    Do you go duck hunting perchance?

    No one is asking you to ignore the people that can be proven BARD after due process to have committed crimes. We're telling you (not asking you) to **** off because we haven't been proven BARD after due process to have committed any crime.

    Don't do it to others.

    Let's get real here. No one is going to be banning the great number of weapons we have in our homes.

    We do need responsible registration, regulation, and restriction (for the nuts), all of which is legal.

    Anybody who says that what is constitutional is in fact not so, can be and will be ignored.

    You still haven't explained how changing the shape of a rifle would prevent a single murder.
