[Godebert]

"That having been said, I wonder if letting the assault weapons ban die is such a good idea. The difference between then and now is 9-11. If we have this type of weapon readily available for sale within the United States, it seems to me that it would make it that much easier for a terrorist group to infiltrate the country unarmed, and then acquire the necessary tools to carry out an attack. "

"Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." ......Benjamin Franklin
