Take the guns away from all criminals first, then maybe we will start to discuss this,
How about the people pushing to take our weapons give up their guards weapons first?

In my opinion civilians have absolutely NO need to own fully automatic, military style assault rifles with high capacity magazines. Handguns more than suffice for personal protection.

Please explain your definition of an assault rifle and why it should be banned?

The public shouldn't have assault weapons. That's pretty much all there is to it. What the hell are they (gun mfrs.)thinking selling them to the public in the first place? You can't justify that nonsense. Not with any amount of asinine mental gymnastics.
The amendment is outdated and does NOT apply to the kind of weapons around today. The amendment these idiots continually try to beat everyone over the head with, was referring to muskets not bloody AR 15's. Someone needs to gently explain this to all these gun happy Muppets . Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti gun, I have a couple of semi-auto handguns, which I'm not too happy about but I do quite enjoy shooting them for practice, very theraputic. But I kind of feel even that is overkill and at best a necessary evil in today's world. I sure as hell don't need some massive crazy rapid firing machine gun like the one Ripley has in Aliens to feel safe or to outsmart some animal with a brain the size of a watch battery.
These things are not toys and we should be taking them away from the infantile and sometimes mentally unstable or retarded adults that rabidly defend the sale of them with their deranged interpretation of the 2nd amendment twitching and flailing like a dying haddock behind them.
Enough is enough. Enough was bloody enough 6 years ago. Where's the action? where the # is it eh?
6 days it took NZ to act. 6 days.

I think it's time to re-open all the lunatic asylums. This 'care in the community' isn't working. The criminally insane all have jobs in Washington DC and at Fox news.
