because i dont agree with every terminology that the US Government gives weapons... any weapon is an assault weapon if you want to get down to silver nails... firearms were initially created to defend people, also, kill those that try to disrupt their lives... they didnt have Olympic trap shooting competitions with Blunderbusses, so what were they created for? killing people, or anything that tried to disrupt their lives...

my whole point is IR, other people should not be punnished for what another person does.. guns should not be labeled worse than another gun, because a few dickweeds used that style weapon in killings, because the fact still remains, that other weapons could have done MORE damage than the weapons used... but they blame the guns, and not the person behind that gun... they blame the manufacturers for making said guns, and other manufacturers, for making said magazines to hold ammunition, like they are the ones that made the gun "more dangerous"... limiting ammuntion capacity, and or style of weapons, will not do anything to curb mental rejects from shooting people, and causing havoc... never will happen..

i actually have no problem with people having to pass a background check at a gun show, or for internet sales... but the thing is, with internet sales, especially from reputable sites like gunbroker, the guns have to be transfered to a FFL licensee, and then you pay the fee and guess what? have to fill out the paperwork, and be cleared by NICS to obtain it... atleast thats what ive been told, and have had to do myself...

the problem is, is that that would just be the start of me, you, and American citizens slowly being stripped of their rights, because the Government wouldnt just stop right there, they would continue to do more... and once you lose it, you wont get it back... if certian states want to increase stuff, then let them, but a broad "you have to do this" from the US Government, isnt a Democracy, its a Dictatorship, and look throughout history how well Dictatorships worked...

then we have Gabby Giffords now, blabbing... yeah, shes an inspiration to the entire nation, and what happened to her was extremely unfortunate... BUT, those that spoke yesterday, the families of the Newton shooting, want "assault weapons" banned, because they are the reason that their children are dead, and all the while, Mrs. Giffords is an owner of "assault rifles" and "loves shooting them" as she has said publicly... thats hypocritical at its finest... the US Government is trying to use the shooting as a platform to basically taking control of citizens rights, and thats not what this country was founded on, and completely goes against everything they fought for, and even continue to fight for...

our soldiers, past, present and future, fight for your right to FREEDOM... stripping away rights, isnt giving freedom... its dictating what you can and cannot do, basically what the US Government does to all other countries of the world... we can have it, but you cant... yeah well, im not so happy about that, or them even thinking about that...
