The madness is letting the ban on assault weapons lapse.
I have relatives that own guns – no problem. They are sensible about them, keep them under lock and key, have taken gun safety courses. We’ve discussed guns and I have no problem with folks owning or keeping guns. But Assault Weapons are not in the same category.
How can a President expect ANYONE to take him seriously when he claims to support law Enforcement then he lets a law end that banned automatic weapons like the AK-47, AR-15, MAC-10,Uzi, Tec-9.
What does this say to the average cop when the lawmakers allow bad guys can go out and buy this kind of military technology?
C’mon, does ANYONE think a sportsman is going hunting with an assault weapon – that kind of gun would shred game. Why does a private citizen buy a gun like this?
Other than the “kick” of owning a gun that can pulverize anything you might aim it at (cinderblocks, trees, cars, etc…), the only answer I come up with is as protection against others who might have similar weapons – to prevent finding yourself at the wrong end of a self-defense gap! What can you do when you find a burglar in your home with a gun – why, you simply HAVE to empty your tommy-gun into the blighter, just to teach him a right-proper lesson!
