Philosophical arguments aside, the simple fact that assault weapons are banned, and machine guns, etc aren't is simply absurd. The basis for the law is incredibly shallow and illogical.

As I have said on other occasions, my whole problem with any anti-gun law is that they are trying to put a band aid on a gapping wound- and that wound isn't the second amendment. It's the behavior and rationale that causes a person to pick up a gun and purposely kill (as I understand the soccer moms think guns are used for). All the gun laws in the world will not change that behavior, that need to murder. Take away a gun, and that person will just find something else to satisfy their need to kill.

Hell, if they ban assault rifles, then why not ban ritalin. It's done just as much 'so-called' harm.
