Handguns? No. Assault rifles. " Mean looking " rifles, which Diane Feinstein says we don't NEED, only account for less than 400 murders. ( probably even less, because they're lumped in with 'rifles' , where as shot guns were another category, also less than 400. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2012/12/20/heres-the-chart-that-supporters-of-a-federal-assault-weapons-ban-wont-want-to-see/ Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen Resident USA Freedom Fundie " AU, that was great, LOL!!

Quote:Washington—The following is the prepared statement from Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) from today’s Judiciary Committee hearing on the Assault Weapons Ban of 2013 (S. 150): On December 14th, 20 sets of parents received a call no parent ever wants to receive: that they would never see their son or daughter again. Earlier that day, a deranged killer wielding an assault weapon and armed with high-capacity ammunition magazines shot his way into Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut and unleashed a rapid hail of bullets, killing 20 young children – mostly 6-year-olds -- and six brave administrators in just the handful of minutes that it took for law enforcement to respond to the scene. That horrific event shocked our nation, and the pictures of these little victims brought tears to the eyes of millions of Americans. We are holding today’s hearing because the massacre in Newtown was, sadly, not an anomaly. From the 1966 shooting rampage at the University of Texas, to the Newtown massacre, we have witnessed an increasing number of these mass killings. Since 1982, there have been at least 62 mass shootings across the United States. And they have been accelerating in recent years: 25 of these shootings have occurred since 2006, and seven took place in 2012. The one common thread running through these mass shootings in recent years— from Aurora, Colorado, to Tucson, Arizona, to Blacksburg, Virginia — is that the gunman used a military-style, semiautomatic assault weapon or large-capacity ammunition magazine to commit the unspeakable horror.

Quote: You have been taking a pretty anti-gun stance, after talking a lot about guns in the past. Could it be that the Democratic faer-mongers got to you?

Quote:Originally posted by SHINYGOODGUY: I should apologize to gun owners, because, as I understand it, the majority of registered gun owning NRA members are for gun safety and gun control. It's the NRA leadership that are refusing to accept gun safety measures. I am deeply sorry for saying "nut jobs," that was completely unfair. SGG
