As to the Supreme Court who knows what they will do? They have become a political body and not a check on bad laws. That is not what the Founding Fathers intended. |
Yes there was a law banning the sale of "assault weapons." Unfortunately, it has not been proved to have lowered gun related murders in the country. And it has not been proved to have lowered the mass murders in this country.
I still say that hardening the physical security will lower/eliminate mass murders by ANY type of weapon, rather than just supposed "assault weapons." You don't protect the hens from the fox by leaving the chicken coop doors open. If you eliminate the fox, you still have other predators.
