Every one is missing the point here! You need to shoot the bad guys before they can use their assault rifles and pistols. GOD bless my Barrett! You need to "reach out and touch someone." Nothing will discourage bad guys like having his buddy's head vaporized from 2000 yards away.
This administration has since the beginning wanted to band guns. Obama has said so before becoming President in his stump speaches. It's assault rifles now and all long guns later, then pistols. Only criminals will have firearms and will continue to do what they do without the fear of their victims protecting themselves.
Our founders included the right of gun ownship to protect us from King George or a government gone bad. They wanted all men to have a firearm so they might insure freedom from oppression of any kind both foreign or domestic.
The major question that arises is, why is this government making efforts to alter the 2nd Admendment? Is this what the founders were concerned about in 1776? Does this government have the intent to suppress our freedoms futher? Why is this administration afraid of an armed public?
