I have no problems with guns. In fact, I'm in the process of obtaining my concealed weapons license. I'm just wondering if people are actually troubled by the ban on the types of assault weapons that cause so many problems on so many city streets, or if they are afraid of the "slippery slope". I honestly don't know how many of the average law-abiding gun owners own assault type weapons or ammunition and wanted to see how many here may.

I know, but I think the language in the ban is pretty specific.

I thought the debate was that the original fathers were establishing a ready militia and that is, in the opinion of some today, what the defining factor is on the "right to bear arms".

That's just par for the course here in our fair State. I think I'm going to have to rack up on weapons here at home and at the church.
