"If assault weapons were not on the street and illegal handguns, there would be a decrease in gun violence in the US which is greater here than any other country in the world. "


Assault weapons are fully automatic, and thus already illegal for most of us to own. Illegal handguns are, by definition, illegal. How would passing any more laws change the number or availability?


And what country requires it's adult male citizens to keep fully automatic weapons at home? I guess the Swiss have the highest murder rate in the world?

Of course, if you really want to reduce the crime rate, just outlaw freedom of the press, and freedom of religion: All part of the same bill of rights. Keep everyone locked up, and remember that anything not required is forbidden...
