Champions of Initiative 594, basking in its landslide victory, delivered a post-election message on Wednesday: We’re not done yet.

The Center for Gun Responsibility promised to bring “a robust legislative agenda” to Olympia come January. ”Yesterday’s victory is the beginning, the beginning of a movement to curb gun violence,” said the Rev. Sandy Brown, a retired Methodist minister who chairs the group.

“Our first work is with the Legislature,” Brown added.

These people will never be happy. This is why I will always reject gun control.

The Assault Weapon Myth

In 2012, only 322 people were murdered with any kind of rifle FBI data shows.

So why do people still go after "assault weapons?" They matter very little in the grand scheme of things.

Swiss gun laws are looser than California, Hawaii, Massachusetts and New Jersey

Overview of gun laws in Switzerland: http://www.reddit.com/r/guns/comments/2cl0uk/swiss_gun_ownership_and_gun_laws_condensed_into_a/

Meanwhile in MA you need to wait months and go to the police station for an interview. Even my friend in New Brunswick says Canadian laws are looser.

You don't even need a license to buy a hunting rifle or shotgun in Austria: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overview_of_gun_laws_by_nation#Austria

Try doing that in New Jersey.
