Why not? Why do you need any 'luxury' item you own? If people want an assault weapon, I don't see it any differently from a person who buys a Corvette, for instance. Its not like its a necessity, but we buy them because we can.

A Corvette isn't a weapon. And the argument that you need an assault weapon to defend your property, I think a simple handgun would suffice in worst case scenarios.

That's just what we need - a nation of pothead stoners, wasting what little money we have left on drugs. That's why smoking pot is a vice, it's a waste of money. If you want to waste money why not donate to charity?

I agree, why the h*** do people need assault weapons? Unless you're military or police, it seems like an ego thing, who has the bigger gun.

AIf you want to waste money why not donate to charity? At least then your money helps someone besides criminals. Now there's a patriotic idea.
If anything we should make people stop doing drugs

Well, my feelings are a bit hurt as my goal is simply to reduce the amount of violence and preserve innocent life as well as freedom. However, I admit I may have taken the incorrect position based on a misunderstanding of the situation. I am going to think this through again. Thanks to the poster who said I should sit down and think this over again.

I fear I lost a lot of respect for certen world leaders when I read this article. I always knew that Obama wanted more gun laws. But hear it says that Obama and the Democrats are blaming Mexican violence on U.S. gun laws. That is just taking things to far. Laws are causing violence.....? So now the answer becomes make more laws.
It should also be noted here that Mexican President Felipe Calderon is also blaming Mexican violence on second amendment rights.
