Guns aren't the problem. Ammo is.

I have a hard time really caring too much (at the moment). I don't live in Idaho and I have more pressing concerns... like finding a recommendation for grad school by the wed deadline.

Gee golly, time for me to go buy an Uzi and a ton of other Assault Weapons for NO ****ING REASON

Well, I don't even think handguns should be legal, so you can tell what I think about this...I think it sucks.

I'm totally with you man. If their weren't any guns, there generally wouldn't be any need for them.

In Holland (I'm not bragging... just telling) all guns are illegal. There is far less crime here.

Or perhaps people get beat up instead of shot through the head...

No guns = good.

Firearms are illegal over here as well. Getting a license to carry one is very hard (except for army personnel and police).

People who buy one without a license keep it at home. Then we see their kids in the newspapers, shooting themselves with their father's unlicensed guns...

I'll agree with you and Germy on this one...

Handguns are illegal in Canada.

This is only in Idaho, right? Well I do realize that these weapons could be used out of state, but like Jonbo said, I don't think that many people would even buy these weapons. I doubt it will contribute a significant amount to the gun issue that our country has.

No, nation wide.

What everyone must realize is that this ban didn't really do anything. An "assault weapon" is classified as any semi-automatic rifle which has two or more of the following: Pistol grip, collapsible stock, bayonet mount, muzzle suppressor, grenade launcher. (The grenade launcher was just tacked on to make the law seem more forceful but they're really weren't legal in the first place.)

Fully Automatic (which, by the way, does not mean rapid fire, although all rapid fire weapons are fully automatic) guns are banned in the United States. This law also removed the restriction on magazines over 10 rounds, although those magazines were still legal to own and use, just not manufacture. This law was pretty stupid, it didn't really do anything and ending it doesn't really expand anything.

I believe that single and double shot rifles and shotguns should be legal (for hunting) all other guns should be banned (including hand guns.)

Well if you run out of bullets hunting you can just stab a dear with a bayonet in a war rush
