This is my opinion... this nonsense has gone on long enough. The Right to Bear Arms was never envisioned to ever encompass mass crowd killing assault weaponry of any kind by our forefathers. Charleton Heston can take his squalling "Take it from my cold dead hand" banterisms and stick it straight up his arse.

Are you a policeman, do you face people on the streets carrying assault weaponry against you every day? Don't feed me a line of absolute bullshit that proliferation is by any means a way to keep everything under control. Just because I know all my neighbors may have guns to protect them against an intruder coming into their house protects me, next door, or the people walking innocently on the sidewalk, from stray bullets coming through the walls.

Nevermind the fact that these are ASSAULT WEAPONS they are banning, not handguns, not rifles, etc. Come on already, are you expecting the Red Army to parachute into the heartland? Just go right back out into the country, to your militia compounds and fire at every errant sound that makes you jump out of your camos, we don't need this crap in our cities.

Yet again people are losing sight of the affects. You don't pay attention to the number of people losing their lives from interaction with assault weaponry. The number of children getting killed by guns in the homes. Christ, people, we are already at war on more than one front in the world, leave the guns to warfare. When does it end.

Screw the NRA and the PAC diddling state senator that's in the NRA's pocket. Kudos to Columbus for standing up for their own safety.
