Hopefully, some common sense gun control will come out of the Newtown massive murder of our innocent children.

If you carefully read the "Assualt Weapons Ban Act of 1994" you will find that it was a feel good law. The only thing it did was "BAN" some items from the firearms it covered. Read it, it is and still is a joke.
