[QUOTE="zephcom, post: 74222940, member: 400000"] I'm probably the only liberal in the nation who knows that America will never be gun free. In fact that idea is ridiculous to even consider. There are valid and sensible reasons why citizens should be allowed to own guns. But, (and you knew there would be a 'but') we really really do need laws which make possession of assault style weapons (capable of rapid fire with large magazines) a serious criminal offense. There should be no legal way to sell these weapons and high capacity magazines except to the government for destruction. I'm realistic enough to know that people will still murder others with guns. Domestic issues will be settled with guns. Stores will be held up with guns. Police will continue to think a cell phone in the hands of a POC is a gun. And recreational gun activity will continue. But what America needs is relief from random mass shootings at public events. And the weapon of choice for these things are assault rifles with high capacity magazines. It just isn't the same if someone walks into a mall with a .30-30 lever action deer rifle with seven rounds before the shooter has to pull out more rounds and shove them one at a time into the magazine. I don't want to get rid of all guns. I just want to get military grade weapons out of the hands of civilians. There is absolutely no practical use for an assault weapon but to kill people. [/QUOTE]
