How about this? Since most of us believe that the 2nd was partially created to keep the tyranny of government in check, how about a clause that says, "If the people can't have them, the military and police can't either." That might change the thinking of some of the politicos. No AWB!
We have the leftovers of the '89 assault weapon ban still in place in Kalifornia and that was added to before the sunset of the national AWB. Additionally, we have an "approved" list of "safe" handguns which is continually getting smaller. Especially since we now have a law, going into effect in a little over a year, mandating that handguns microstamp the serial number on the primer of every round fired. There are no manufacturers that make guns that do this, so in 2010, handgun sales end in CA. Many gun makers have already stated that they will not do business in CA, including law enforcement. If the police can't get their guns, maybe they'll raise enough stink to get the law repealed. Maybe that would work on a new AWB too.
There is no "reasonable" gun control. The non-gunny type has been fooled by politicians and the media for too long on that one. Laws don't stop the lawless. People like my father-in-law see AR's on 24 and The Unit and believe that they can just fire forever. Or they see Glocks that never miss on cop shows and feel that criminals who have been shot by the police should have just had the gun shot from their hands.
Wake up your families, friends and neighbors. Take them to the range! I knew an ex-marine, who'd embraced eastern philosophy and became a miserable, lonely, veggie-anti-gunner-bicyclist. Took him to an open shooting area and let him blaze away. He's now a happily married cop with kids that loves to shoot and talk guns. He even eats a little red meat now and then. He's always smiling and actually credits me with some (I'll only accept a little - his wife is great) of the change in his life.
Tab, are you friendly to the idea of another AWB? You're allowed your own opinion, but I'd like to know the reasoning if you are.
