The House just passed a law banning AR-15's and other "assault weapons" and "large capacity" magazines. They ARE actually attempting to ban all semi-automatic weapons, which hopefully will be shut down by the Supreme Court. Yes, they really ARE
"trying to take away guns used for home defense, hunting and target practice."
The most evident problem today is that those that fear firearms do not know a lick about them and insist that anything that goes bang when you pull the trigger is a dangerous assault weapon. If you allow them to pervert the term "assault weapon" in their ignorance, then they will take away anything that is an firearm and eventually, any knife that isn't plastic. Anything that presents a threat to someone else will be labeled "assault weapon." So, instead of punishing the evil doers, they will be punishing the honest, law abiding citizen. So much for those that insist that no one is attempting to take away your guns. We are now seeing an attempt to create millions of criminals by attempting to disarm decent citizens. Do not attempt to tell me that having bolt action rifles or revolvers is "OK." It's only OK with those that do not like, or those that fear firearms. This is becoming a country where laws are created to protect the criminal and punish those that wish to protect their property, family and themselves. I sincerely doubt that the Constitution was meant to protect the criminal over the decent, honest citizen.
