Gun Control

So what do people think about the Assault Weapons Ban? I am totally against it. It seems like people think it bans machine guns, but those were banned many many years ago. The current AWB only bans certain guns based on cosmetic issues. It also bans high cap magazines. So I can only use a 10 round mag in my handgun, not a 13 round or a 15 round mag. I can still have as many 10 round mags as i want and I can purchase and use 15 round mags that were made before the ban. It is bad law and does nothing to deter crime.

Below are the sponsors of the Senate bill 2498 (S. 2498) to extend the AWB for another 10 years. Read all about it at http://www.senate.gov
