I do not believe that reducing the ability of law-abiding citizens will reduce the number of people killed.

I do not believe that passing meaningless laws will make the criminals less likely to get weapons.

I do not believe that outlawing guns BASED ON THEIR APPEARANCE is an effective way to get a safer world


"Unrestricted access to military-style weapons isn't a good thing"

So wrong in so many ways:
1. How is it unrestricted , legally? It requires a background check, sales records, forms certifying the mental health of the buyer, age restrictions ( presently 18 at least)for ANY rifle .
2. Define military style? Black with a bayonet stud? So they do what happened last time "assault rifles" were banned, and put pink stocks on them, take off the bayonet mount, and put a 50 round internal magazine ( not removable, so it was OK according to the law.) THAT made it permitted, unlike the standard rifle with a detachable 20 round magazine. In MD, it is ILLEGAL to transfer, manufacture, or sell a magazine capable of holding over 10 rounds- but for those who ignore the law ( like most criminal????) ANY 3-D printer can make 30 round AR-15 magazines out of plastic. They MIGHT need to go to the hardware store to get a spring, if they don't have a coat hanger handy.


Is it a good thing to ONLY allow the criminals to have weapons?
