That was the point I replied to.

The laws should be uniform from state to state, IOW a federal law.
Nothing will change as long as we have this hodge podge of state laws.

Also we should reinstate the federal assault weapons ban that expired in 2004.
And before you go saying that it's your Second Amendment right to own those types of weapons, think about this.

When they wrote the Second Amendment, the founders could no more have invisioned that those types of weapons would exist, than they could have envisioned airplanes flying people around in the sky.

I have no problem with people owning a handgun for self protection, or rifles for hunting.

(My 14 year old Grandson just told me that he got his hunting license and went pheasant hunting the other day.)

I also have no problem with target shooting for fun or sport.

And people can own as many muskets as they want. I don't care.[/sarcasm]

But there is no reason why people need to own guns that are only designed for killing a lot of people very quickly.

I guess you come from the school of we can't do anything about this, so we just have to accept that this is the new normal.

I refuse to accept that.
