I've been a shooter all my adult life and have no interest in assault weapons. I've always been interested in accuracy with a few well placed rounds. That said once the assault weapons would be banned then they would go after pistols, rifles and shotguns. Then bow and arrows. I guess slingshots and knives should be next. BUT, I guarantee you there would be just as many assault rifles out there anyway. Just like the ban on alcohol. Didn't work did it?
That slippery slope works both ways. It's assault weapons now with mega clips, years from now the weapons will technically be even better with the ability to carry even more clips. If I had my way I would rather either move back to previous ban instead of doing nothing.
