I see you have passion but you just do not understand guns, your questions lack sense. Not your fault, you probably have not been around guns (?). Read my post again for clarification. It really does not matter whether it is a rifle or a pistol, (the V. Tech guy used pistols) either gun can fire hi powered rounds so fast you would think it was an automatic. Small 10-15 round clips can be discharged and loaded that the shooting never stops. You are probably thinking about the Bolt-Action gun that requires repeated motions to shoot one bullet, they still make those for target shooting and hunting but the popularity for the Military type gun has skyrocketed. Banning certain guns will do nothing, there are just to many other type of guns with the same shooting power.[/quote]
I am sure there are ways to accomplish this. You don’t need to be around guns to understand it in the same way as you don’t need to be a doctor to figure out that you are ill -or you don’t need to be a Ph.D. mechanical engineering to change oil in your car
Basic common sense should tell you what should be banned and it is law-makers job to put that common sense in a legislation. If you don’t like what is currently defined as assault weapon, I am sure someone can modify the definition.
To me all this seems like whining to not address the issue.
besides there are other issues to address too.
1) Why should things be freely sold on the internet?
2) Why does NRA oppose electronic database of guns?
3) Why should NRA oppose liability for gun manufacturers and owners?
4) Why should there not be a cooling off period for buying guns?
5) What is the need for high capacity magazines?
