I'm amazed at how you flip-flop! Let's edit your statement a little, shall we? If the first quote was...... "If they know it is illegal to own an (the media's so called) assault weapon, then less people are likely to be killed" Would you say? So why then, would you support taking these weapons from good honest people? Okay, how about this quote......... "even if it helps a little, that's good, right?" (Boy, this sure seems to be part of AWB's argument, right?) Well, you say....... Kind of funny how Chicago has one of, if not the highest strict gun laws in the country, and also has one of, if not the highest gun related murder rates in the country. But that's okay, let's try to take guns away from innocent citizens........ To everyone else, sorry for hijacking this thread.
