29. BS is right...remove assault weapons from the public domain - they are trying

to shut us up..throw us a bone...register ALL weapons purchased...with that registry, limit the number of weapons one person can purchase..this goes along with the ammunition..unable to build a cache of ammo or weapons....As we register our autos, so be it with gun registration..every two years..

What the FL legislature did to those teens yesterday is deplorable..."you can't have porn, but you can have weapons of mass destruction"...who the hell do they think they are...every one of them needs to be voted out - the students emotions are raw - they were there, they heard the shots fired, they saw the carnage, they saw their friends bleeding to death...and died..

Have we come this far, just to have come this far? - We have to have hope, this is the time..time for change - the students of today, are the future...I'm with them!!!!
