1. 2nd Amendment.
2. Slippery Slope. One version of the 'reauthorization' bills will give the Attorney General(UNELECTED) power to ban any semi-automatic on a whim. GSWarrior - Golden State? Think Bill Lockyer with the power to ban all semi-automatic guns, which are over 1/2 of all guns.
3. Very few so called 'assault weapons'(I hate that term) are used in any crime. Usually they, or their 'copies' are used in target shooting competitions. The AR-15 and the M1(an AW in Jersey) are most commonly used in those.

Thank you. And thank you for not being snide.
