We asked for your opinions about a proposed ban on assault rifles?
The Supreme Court recently upheld the 2nd Amendment right of individual citizens to keep and bear arms. Mexico's inability to controll their drug cartels should not restrict our ability to exercise our 2nd Amendment rights. In fact, the illegal activities of Mexican drug cartels and Mexican smugglers act to justify the right of private citizens to protect themselves from these heavily armed and agressive criminal organizations. -- Eric
Why isn't anyone addressing the real issue..Mexicos inability or refusal to deal with their drug dealers? I find it incredible that this administration is so big on abortion, the killing of unborn children but they are quick to remove something from the market that kills. -- Tony
It's unfortunate that during a time of economic crisis our president wants to make an irresponsible move like this. I think it would be more prudent to repair our broken economy first, then worry about passing faulty gun control legislation designed to fix another nation's problems. It won’t work. Criminals will always get guns, even in a country that bans them. -- J
Criminals are going to get the weapons either way. I think it's crazy to belive that this would fix the problems in another country. Our constitution was written for a reason, and it seems to me that some in the goverment feel like that means nothing anymore. Our country has a lot bigger problems to worry about then weapons control. I can't even belive with our economic crisis our president is worried about gun control. -- Brad
One day a news medium will finally mention that "assault rifle" means one thing, and "assault weapon" is a made-up, meaningless term that roughly translates to "scary looking gun." Won't it be wonderful when the 20,001st gun law makes gun crime non-existent, like illegal drugs, underage drinking, and robbery? Oh, wait ... -- Dan
If I supported the CRAZY spending polices of Obama and the Dems I would want gun control to. -- James
I know there is no need for anyone to own a weapon such as a gun. We should have hunting people check out rifles/guns when hunting. They are the only ones who only for that reason would even need one. -- Rosa
