If this bastard (lautenburg) had his way we would have less rights than an Iragi. There you can have one AK-47 and one magazine per house. Damned liberal garbage.
Actually, if your report is correct, most Americans already have less firearm rights than Iraqis. The AK-47 is a full-auto assault rifle. These are banned to regular citizens alttogether in many states (like Illinois) and a civilian has to be licensed and approved by the BATF in the states where they are allowed for civilian use.
It's been that way since the National Firearms Act of 1935, which severely limited the second amendment so that the citizenry no longer has equal access to the weaponry that the government and police do. Criminals have paid as much attention to that old chestnut of a gun law every bit as much as they do to all the others, of course. Bit by bit, the oligarchs in Washington are chiseling away at what's left of the constitution. Gun laws have never been about reducing crime, but at reducing the citizenry's ability to defend itself.
