There is no need for the average citizen to have an assault weapon, I can't imagine any hunters using these. To have these registered makes no sense, Certainly the woman owning the assault weapon used in the Conn. killings wasn't mentally ill. Should we then be able to own and use machine guns, how about a fully packed tank?
Violence on Television has reached new heights, if people aren't influenced by what they see, why do advertisers pay so much to influence buyers? Why do we think this is entertainment? have we become so callous? The same can be said for the violent video games. Do we want our youth to feel this is the only way to settle arguments is to gun people down.
This is a great concern for the whole country and anybody who thinks differently isn't watching the news.
