Please, Senate. Eat a dick. No one is going to kill anyone with a M1 Carbine.

Senate Judiciary Committee. I'm really upset with how cowards like this can get anywhere near places of power.

We all know it's not going anywhere in the Senate, not while the Republicans have more than 40 votes.

Not all dems hate guns too. It won't pass.

But assault weapons aren't even used in the vast majority of crimes. Shotguns are used more. And governmental agencies after the Clinton gun ban went into effect said that it had a negligible impact on firearm crime.

Yay!

[QUOTE=Generic.Monk;39912018]Yay![/QUOTE] Like the last one that totally stopped Columbine, right?

This is a step away from Terrorism America. You can finally begin to end your wars with brown people, homosexuals, and child murderers.

For someone to support this they'd have to be so astronomically fucking ignorant it wouldn't even make sense.

[QUOTE=dogmachines;39913479]or you have missing the point down to a science.[/QUOTE] Have you read any of his other debate posts?

Banning assault weapons would be like banning swords because somebody got stabbed to death with a hunting knife.

For once I'm rather glad of the GOP clusterfuck in Congress. For all the hell it causes, this one time, it will actually do some good for once.

But in general you're right, for the most part supporting one of these bans is political suicide unless your entire political career revolves around pushing them.

a step in the right direction of banning all guns.
