Renounce its exploitation of the Sandy Hook Elementary school tragedy in order to pursue an assault weapons ban

Never has it been said by great men that our safety is worth one ounce of our freedom. While this tragedy was horrible it shouldn't give rise to the human ego to think we can actually prevent these types of events from happening. While unfortunate, bad things do and will continue to happen because evil cannot be regulated not matter hard you try. I just heard Sen. Schumer D (NY) say "no amendment is absolute". Well, I say to you Senator no govt is absolute either. Criminals are by very definition, criminals and will not follow your laws, they will only affect us law abiding citizens making us easier prey for them. Patrick Henry once said "Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense. Stop this, now.
