Maybe it's time to add to the debate.
A stunning number lands in the middle of the gun debate
Quote:
As political Washington mulls what -- if anything -- to do legislatively to address the latest in a long line of mass murders committed with guns, a new Fox News poll has a number in it that is an absolute stunner.
That number is 67%, which reflects respondents who told pollsters that they support a ban on assault weapons. For you non-math majors out there, that's two-thirds of the American public!

This could be the end of legal military style rifles and high capacity magazines. Although, simply banning new sales won't do much without confiscating current owners. I'm leaning toward applying the same conditions for assault weapons as fully auto weapons, just require an expensive license that will put legal ownership out of reach for the average crazies.
Also, raise the age for all firearms to 30.
Last, stop releasing criminals who used weapons in crimes. Make it a life sentence.
