before they killed someone. That argument about law abiding gun owners is increasingly specious. The fact that some are so vocally voicing their intent to break the law if an AWB is put in place shows that they are anything but law abiding. Moreover, no law abiding person needs to be prepared to massacre dozens of people within 60 seconds.
It's for the courts to determine if the laws exceed constitutional authority. The last ban wasn't overturned. I see no reason this one should be.
I fully resent the incredible level of entitlement that makes some think theirs are the only rights that matter. NO right is absolute. Rights must be balanced, and guns are far too exalted. The gun lobby has encroached seriously on first amendment rights, The role of guns in our society is a symptom of cultural insanity, a sickness that astounds the civilized world.
