John Mohammad and Lee Malvo paralyzed the Washington DC area with one Bushmaster. Oddly enough, they only fired one shot at a time, yet the term “assault rifle” made the headlines. Any proposed ban would leave a huge number of hunting rifles, far more accurate and/or powerful than the .223 Bushmaster, in civilian hands. Even with a total ban on firearms, I'm certain the number of unregistered or untraceable guns held in private hands would be more than enough to arm an army of snipers.

As a side note, our media, especially MSM, has gone from reporting facts and offering reasonable comment to a one sided propaganda machine, largely controlled by the government and liberals. The lessons learned in advertising are now being turned on our general population, starting with our schools. One can only hope that the internet will continue to exist and that enough of the population will be home schooled or attend private schools to preserve the principles of a free society.
