I'm honestly wondering if anybody has a problem with this specifically or whether it is the "slippery slope" that they are afraid of...kind of a "greasy gun-control" effect.

The only people gun control laws affect negatively are the law abiding citizens.

The guns used by your average "insert criminal type here" will be obtained through illegal channels any time a gun control measure thwarts their efforts to get the guns they need.

There aren't any criminals out there that go into another line of business because they can no longer obtain their weapon of choice through proper and legal channels.

I think these kinds of people that push for this stuff must be naive enough to think Big Daddy Government can be God and protect everyone. But we have already seen how screwed up government is
