Would an assault weapons ban work?

[just another guy]

The left is trying to solidify their control over the people. It has nothing to do with "saving lives".

Look at the places that have the strictest gun control. They also tightly regulate pepper spray and stun guns. Why regulate these non lethal methods of self defense?

Oh, it is.

Especially when it is a loser like you who could take the money you collect in front of Home Depot mooching into the gas tank and drive out of my country and not come back.

No one would stop you.

Putting aside you were quoting one of our founding fathers and saying the quote was from Hitler.

The AR 15 has never been the standard service rifle in any modern army so we can conclude the AR 15 is not, nor has it ever been, an assault rifle.

It is an assault weapon.

No matter how hard you stomp your feet.

Like when the executive branch issues executive orders rather than going through the legal legislative process.

You mean like George Bush who has issued more executive orders than any other president in history?

It comes with winning elections.

Obama and his advisers have signaled that they intend to push a broad and ambitious set of ­anti-gun-violence proposals in Congress, including a ban on military-style assault weapons and a limit on the number of bullets in magazines. The White House has said Obama intends to decide on a final set of proposals by the end of this month.

Let’s Arm The Mexican Drug Cartels With Thousands Of Guns And Continue To Leave The Border Completely Wide Open”

By Michael, on July 11th, 2011

How in the world are Americans living in the southwest United States supposed to sleep peacefully at night when the U.S. government has given thousands of guns to Mexican drug cartels and continues to leave the border completely wide open? The brutality and viciousness of Mexican drug cartels is almost beyond description, and yet the U.S. government has armed them to the teeth and does next to nothing to stop their incursions into U.S. territory.“Project Gunrunner” was supposed to be a U.S. government initiative to fight the flow of guns into Mexico. Instead, it has now come out that ATF agents were ordered to facilitate the acquisition of thousands of U.S. guns by Mexican drug cartels and then halt surveillance on where those guns where going. One of these operations was known as “Fast and Furious” and the revelations that are now coming out have Congress in an uproar. If the full truth about what has been going on is revealed to the American people it is going to turn Washington D.C. upside down.

Right now, some of the most dangerous places to be on the face of the earth are along the U.S./Mexico border. The Mexican drug cartels are fighting a vicious war against each other and against the authorities.

Just this past week, there were 40 drug war deaths down in Mexico in just one 24 hour period. Over 35,000 people have been killed since the Mexican government declared war on the cartels back in 2006.

Every time one big cartel boss is brought down it just seems to cause the cartels to splinter and multiply. Each year the cartels seem to become better armed and more sophisticated.

Now it turns out that there was a very good reason why the cartels are armed so well.

The U.S. government has been supplying them with thousands of weapons.

The following is a brief excerpt from a CBS News report that discusses the fierce opposition that many ATF agents expressed to allowing thousands of guns to be given into the hands of the Mexican drug cartels….

The blooming idiot is the person who cannot read and exclaims that Obama 'want' to take guns away from idiots like yourself.

Background checks for *all* gun sales.

I do understand how you not being able to buy because you can't pass has upset you so.

I bet it's like that spot drug tests your PO makes you take, eh?

Annoying, eh?

Thomas Jefferson owned 600+ slaves and raped the women he owned.

I wouldn't put much stock in what Jefferson considered 'liberty'.

Here's the rub, genius: Mexico is in Mexico.

Mexico is a different country.

Mexico is not the United States.

Check your atlas, honey: it's a completely different color!

In actual fact, the drug cartels just go to gun shows in the SouthWestand buy them up from people like you who don't care as long as they pay cash.

Every thing the left does is hypocritical.

I was visiting with my state Senator. I told him I think it is time we mobilize honest people to fight the dishonest leftists. My idea is to develop a sheet that will list the state officials representing my area, the federal representatives, those who are the worst offenders of our rights and freedoms, and how to look up what is going on in our state and federal governments. Provide all the contact info. Copy and pass out as many as I can.

It is time we have to quit just meeting in the gun shop or coffee shop and griping about what is going on. Maybe it is too late , but we owe it to our grandchildren to do everything possible.

Oh , my Senator and I also discussed the quality of various match triggers for the AR.

Fact is a majority of those who died committed suicide. Can anyone prove that or have any evidence that even banning all guns would have prevent even one of those people from killing themselves?
Both south Korea and Japan have very strict gun control laws and much higher suicide rates then the USA
