I think you'd better take me off you ping list. Althought I support the right to own and bear arms, I do not believe assault weapons should be in the hands of anyone but the military/police types. That is what they were created for. I could not vote on the poll as I did not agree with either the pro or con issues. Sorry.

Done, although your thinking is in error in relation to so-called "assault weapons". Let me put it this way: If George Washington were alive today, do you think he would want his citizen's militia (all males between 17 and 42 years of age) to be armed with muskets, or AR-15s?

I am ex-military. What's that worth? I never saw any halo above my head, then or now.

I want you to respectfully ask you to reconsider. This bill does more to make a criminal out of a good citizen than to have any real effect on crime or criminals. This is only another step on the way to banning all guns. One at a time, they want them all. They know they'll lose if they try that so they divide us up by going after one type of gun at a time hoping that we won't care and fight for a gun that we don't own. Don't let them get away with it.
