Don't you find it odd, and more than a bit frustrating, that this article of Jonah Goldberg's was posted with the sincere desire that people have an honest, non-abrasive discussion of his points, but that it's been taken over by the assault-weapons advocates? I'm beginning to wonder if "conservatism" has any relevance to anything important anymore.

Assault weapon advocates?
As has been pointed out repeatedly, the term "assault weapon" can be expanded at any time to include just about any semi automatic weapon.
It has also been mentioned that the second amendment to the constitution has NO RELATION to any sporting purposes.
Some, including myself take offense when someone continues to blabber on about 'assault weapons' and the 'need' for a particular weapon when it is commonly known that these weapons are not used in a majority of crimes and even if they were they should be constitutionally protected. It does not help when the individual in question ignores most of the posts asking for clarification of what was posted.
