a Permanent ban? There should be no permanent law against anything 'cept crimes against persons.

""If they're allowed on the streets of Cincinnati and New York and Chicago, the killings we've seen will continue."

The Village Idiots, aka City Council, has already done more than enough to allow the killing that is going on to continue to grow. This city is run by (expletive deleted) idiots.

"These weapons are weapons of war,"

So is this musket from the civil war.

Local resident Carol Cannon also urged Council's support. During the past two years, her only two sons were shot and killed by assailants

Who used handguns, not assault weapons:

Mrs. Cannon lost two sons to guns. In 1995, her 26-year-old son, Johnny Cannon Jr., was shot 11 times in the head in Over-the-Rhine. Two years later, her second son, Derrick, 26, was shot to death in front of a crowd at the Imperial Club on Woodburn Avenue in East Walnut Hills.

She is among those who want gun makers to pay, claiming guns could be made safer and are marketed too freely and recklessly.

“The only people profiting are the gun manufacturers, the prisons, the funeral homes and the cemeteries,” the Evanston woman said. “I've lost two sons from illegal handguns. I have been fighting a losing battle.”

""These weapons are weapons of war," Crowley said."

Uh, Mr. Crowley, the military uses FULLY-AUTOMATIC weapons for war, not semi-autos.

You also mentioned the police being "outgunned". The police ALSO use fully-automatic weapons.

Why do police need such "weapons of war"?

" "If they're allowed on the streets of Cincinnati and New York and Chicago, the killings we've seen will continue."

Uh, Mr. Crowley, how have the killings been "continuing" in the first place, since there IS a ban in effect now?

""America's youth face an unrelenting gun violence epidemic," Brown said."

Fixed. Logic, Ms. Brown? Guns are not a virus, dear. Do calm down.

""I don't want someone seven or 10 years from now saying I opposed a weapons ban," Pepper said."

Yes, God forbid that you should be seen as supporting the US Constitution and the Bill Of Rights, Mr. Pepper.

Here we go..... I know that, on paper, the ban is "likely" to expire; however, I will be surprised if we get to Sept. without a renewal. The gun-grabbers almost never lose these key battles. I hope that this time, it's different.
