One of the reasons organized crime is so big is because they got big during prohibition. A complete ban on guns, cigarettes, alcohol, or any number of dangerous substances only provides fuel for organized crime and is political suicide. It has nothing to do with left or right. As for partial bans, we could argue about that all day but here is not the place. As far as I can tell this is just a government official with no firearm experience except for when his dad let him shoot a 12 ga when he was three sitting in a cubical with a picture of a g36 and a picture of this and putting it on the banned list.

The benefits are many but I'm mainly interested in the 2nd Amendment and domestic postage for internet orders :p That and good riddance to a culture of mediocrity with our politics. Sure the US isn't perfect either with a LOT of nasty nanny state uberment moments, but at least there is a sizable group who are committed to fight it, openly if need be against it as it their right.

I hate these facist anti-gun types. Drunk driving kills far more people than guns ever will. Why don't they go ban alcohol? Or right, because they probably like to drink it. How typical of the left. Just because they don't enjoy something they see no problem with taking it away from people who do. People should be able to own whatever guns they want. I hate these facist anti-gun types.

Saving money on bribes is penny wise and pound foolish, if you ask me. They should have offered a bigger bribe. Saving money on bribes is penny wise and pound foolish, if you ask me.
