Yet another example of how many American Citizens do not understand the reasoning behind the 2nd amendment. We MUST do a better job educating our youth about what happened in history. The Founding Fathers of our country, the folks that came up with our entire system of government used the Constitution to set the boundaries within which the government was going to be allowed to exist. They had lived first hand under a government that had gotten too big, and too controlling. Our culture of entitlement has led to a large portion of our citizens believing we are somehow entitled to being 'looked after' by our government. On the contrary, it's the other way around, we're supposed to look after our government, and keep it in check so it doesn't become too big. As a whole, we have gotten lazy, and the big monster government will gobble up all the power we allow it too.
Folks, when President Obama spoke at his inaugural address, he spoke about change, and he spoke about Americans changing our mindset and our daily habits, and not being so dependant on the government. Everyone cheered, and the very next day, everyone went back to looking for handouts from the government. Pretty sad.
I did not vote for him. But I am an American, and a patriot. I want to see our country prosper, and to that end, I wish him success in doing what he can to help restore prosperity to this great country I am proud to call home. Sadly, I don't think his actions since the election have taken us in the right direction. But that's just my opinion, based on my value system.
The cost of freedom is eternal vigilance.

I read the "Yes" comments and the "No" comments
Its funny.All the no answers come from people who are up to date on crime stats, laws etc...
All the No answers come from people who know nothing about gun control and just think guns are bad.
I saw many people calling them "automatic weapons".
And comments like "If we don't ban them, the cops are outgunned unless they start carrying them too... the last thing I ever want to see is our police with AK"
... Most police officers have AR-15's now... And police are not going to use AK's.
It just stuns me to hear words like this. Maybe people should research before they voice there "facts"

Those people are all so misinformed.. I just read through a bunch of the yes and maybe comments, and even a good chunk of the no have no idea what the "assault weapons" are.

When are they going to quit using the AW word? Of course when they use that term they're going to get people who don't know any better to answer "yes."

I'm not so sure many people don't understand.
I think what you see at these polls and such
are simply the few antis left who set out to 'work' these polls
and forums, just like a few pro gun activist do.
What I'm seeing is a shift and I think that MORE
people understanding what 1a is really all about.
It's just those few antis scream louder and are more organized.
They really can't back up any of their assertions as to why
we should not be allowed to own semi auto weapons.
The weapons they wish to ban are NOT assault weapons in the first place,
so they are WRONG the moment the open their mouths to begin with.
