One on campus and one nearby. Both engaged the perps. A lot of good hat did, eh?

the assault weapon ban in place worked well too.

You or anyone else can call something a ban all you want. But if it isn't an actual ban - which there wasn't - then naturally, it cannot work. The 1994 "assault weapons ban" didn't take a single assault weapon out of circulation. Not one. So let's not give that feel good piece of legislation some nickname it doesn't deserve and then pretend that a ban won't work. Fact is that we've never tried an assault weapons ban in the first place. Maybe if we had done that in 1994 instead of the poor window dressing that actually took place, Columbine would not have happened.

you're living in a fantasy land if you think law enforcement will ever go door to door confiscating peoples legally obtained property. the police won't go door to door confiscating illegal guns now. what makes you think they ever would go after legal guns? the man power & cost would be out of this world. at best we'll see tighter backround checks, requirements for all new sales to be reported (vendor, gun show, and individual sellers), longer waits, new magazine capacity limits, and a VOLOUNTARY registration of currently owned firearms. the government can't make you put your name on a 'watch' list, we have self-incrimination laws. so, any current equipment out there will be grandfathered in automatically by date of manufacture.

you need to get ready for another feel good temp ban & get use to higher security measures in public places.

You are right. Nothing to worry about -- There is no need for all those assault weapons, cases of ammo, and the paranoids that buy them.

Why run off on wild stories. All I am saying is that contrary to popular belief, there has never been an assault weapons ban in this country. To say that the assault weapons ban hasn't worked makes no sense seeing that there never was an assault weapons ban in the first place. That's not hard to understand, is it?

i didn't go off on a wild story. i gave you your best case scenario. everyone including obama & the anti gun freaks refer to it as the assault weapons ban, because it was. it failed. it did nothing to protect anyone, and any new one won't either. you need to get use to the facts. americans have guns, and you ain't gonna change that. suck it up & deal or move to a country with laws more inline with you views on guns.

I don't give a rats ####### what anyone called this window-dressing - it wasn't an assault weapons ban. Not a single assault weapon was taken out of circulation or off the streets as a result of this supposed "ban". It failed because it wasn't a ban. You can twist and turn that all you want. The fact remains that this country has never actually banned assault weapons.

Americans will continue to speak up about the deadly gun insanity that continues to kill more Americans than any foreign threat. You may not like to hear the truth but it will continue to be spoken. Suck it up & deal or move.

There are some people who are either a) satisfied with the way things are or b) don't like the way things are, but love guns too much to try and change anything. Let's just bury our heads in the sand, ignore the problems (guns aren't the only one) and hope that the next time we go shopping, or to a movie, or to church, or the next time we send our kids off to school ... it won't be one of us.
