So very typical.

And yes, I'm fully aware of the forum. I'm just not ready to ban every weapon known to man to satisfy the extreme left on this issue. Enhanced background checks, a limited "real" assault weapons ban, and a limit to magazine capacity (I don't think 30 round magazines are really necessary) fine, I'm all for those measures.

But ban everything down to shotguns? That's beyond the pale, and why the extreme gun control advocates are losing the debate - and will continue to lose the debate.

Trying to include pump action guns on a ban list would be a political impossibility Kaleva Sep 2013 #14

I tried to make that point, but he insists that the banning of all weapons is necessary. SlimJimmy Sep 2013 #18

Some do have the opinion that only a complete ban would be effective Kaleva Sep 2013 #19
