Has changed my mind. Assault rifles have no place on the street. But a semi auto .22-270 made to "look like" an M-16 or M4 are not assault rifles. Handguns should be tightly regulated. Something has to be done.. True enough. But I don't know what. And calling gun owners 'murderers' or saying that we have 'blood on our hands' is not conducive to winning people over.
