The nerve of someone who supports an assault weapons ban.

I mean, how does anyone expect me to protect myself and my family only with the other 97 handguns, rifles and shotguns I already own.

Come to think of it, I need a bazooka, too.

Can't be too careful, you know.

(Meanwhile, back to reality)

Please, forgive the sarcasm, and please don't flame me.

But every time I read comments like the above in which people demand unlimited assault guns "or they will not vote for Bush," I just want to wretch.

If I can't protect myself and my family with the umpteen guns I already have, then there's something radically wrong with my aim ---- and an assault weapon ain't gonna help. (it certainly won't deter an attacker any more than if they know I am armed to the teeth with my other rifles and guns.)

I wholeheartedly support the Second Amendment, but that still does not eliminate the fact that some people (yes there are unstable kooks out there) who simply should not be able to get their hands on an assault rifle.

Go ahead. Lemme have it.

Of course it doesn't, but those folks shouldn't be out on street, where they can get a full auto AK-47 for alot less than you'd pay for an AR-15. BTW, "assault rifles", like that full auto AK, are not what the Assault Weapon Ban affects. It affects only semi-autos, and not only rifles, but also some pistols and shotguns. It also bans full capacity magazines, which could come in handy should one need to repel a mob, as was done by some LA area Korean merchants a few years ago during the "Rodny King" riots. They "voted" against the mob, from their rooftops, literaly.

an assault rifle.

Illegal since the 1930's without a Class III(unconstitutional as well).

BTW - "Kooks" that shouldn't be allowed to own a "Assault Rifle" should not be allowed on the street. I wouldn't trust them with a car, knife, gasoline, or fists.

"If I can't protect myself and my family with the umpteen guns I already have,"

This ain't about protecting your family. It's about protecting Freedom. Seems you missed that part of it. That's why you miss the part about your umpteen guns being confiscated for the same reason they took the "assault" rifles.

I'm guessing you can't even state what an 'assault weapon' is, nor can you summarize the AWB.

And who are you to make that decision for 100 million other families?

So what? The Second Amendment isn't about deterring home invaders.

I wholeheartedly support the Second Amendment

Well, I'll partially agree here. The BATF and FBI goons responsible for Waco, Ruby Ridge, and a host of other atrocities against the American people "shouldn't be able to get their hands on an assault rifle".

It's not just about guns. It about the Republican's continuing betrayal of an important constituency. And it's been going on since January 20, 1989.

Dyno, when speaking of those who oppose the AWB, you stated that...

I just want to wretch.

No real disrespect intended, but go ahead...maybe it will get some of the fuzzy logic and sickness that is invading your thinking over the second amendment out of your system.

A so-called assault weapon to these oath-breakers and ninnies is nothing more than a semi-automatic rifle...ulitimately they will want to ban all of them too...and then it will be on to the other 97 weapons you sarcastically claim to hold.

The issue nehind the left/socialists/elitists/utopians move against firearms of any type is simple and it is historical. If the masses do not have weapons, the masses cannot effectively oppose them.

Be careful, with the logical extension of your thinking, you are in danger of slipping into the thought mode of Hand Gun Inc. (HGI) or the Million Moms.

The hard, cold, brutal reality is that this is where it leads.

I wholeheartedly support the Second Amendment...

Whatever. If you think it's fine for the government to ban "assault" weapons, then let's also take them away from police officers. After all, if they can't protect and serve with the umpteen other guns they already have, an assault weapon ain't gonna help.

Oh, what's that you say? If cops don't have access to state-of-the-art firepower, then they would be out-gunned by the criminals and couldn't properly defend themselves? Well, don't you think that citizens should be entitled to the same protection? No? Hmmm.
