You have ignored us and laughed at us. Now you fight us. And we will win.

223. Don't count on it

Lets say pro control gets what (in todays environment) some very reasonable and easy to agree upon concessions. Magazine limits, all private sales open and required to NCIS checks. The "assault" par is debatable - in essence the control side to have any effect would need to be a ban on semi automatic long guns. Even though handguns are the real problem.

And Feinstein KNOWS there is no way to go after guns in existence - thats why her current proposal is grandfathered.

So after all this we have no more new semi auto long guns sold. No more new magazines larger than 5 rounds.

What happens after the next incident like this? More rules?

Because here is the reality - and the ammo for the pro side. Laughner, Holmes, and Lanza, for all practical purposes - were low hanging fruit for identifying potential killers. Most everyone around them, and we are talking in a professional setting - academic, counselors, police at times - were POWERLESS to do anything about it - even though they were right there, on a silver platter, to intervene.

Which do you think makes more sense. Spending BILLIONS and BILLIONS of dollars to go after all the guns and ammo in peoples closets (who are doing nothing wrong), or spend the money to help people who scream (figuratively) I need Help? And if you think we can do both you haven't been following what's going on in Washington
