Assault Weapons Ban - Paolo Buccino

      As many of us are aware, in the wake of all these recent shootings some politicians have been pushing legislation for the control of certain types of guns. Personally, I do not think that this ban is a good idea. It just seems poorly thought out and shady. It is shallow. The legislation seems to be based on the idea that creating laws prohibiting certain guns will somehow prevent these shootings from happening. How in the world would these laws even be enforced? What about the black market?

      The politicians pushing the legislation also seem to being ignoring a fundamental problem. That problem is mental health.  There is no way the Aurora, and Newtown shooters were sane. It has been realized that the Columbine, Tuscon, and Virginia Tech shooters, among others, were suffering from severe mental problems that caused them to act the way they did. If these people feel so inclined, how would some silly law ever stop them from gaining access to whatever gun they might want to use? It isn't very difficult to obtain illegal drugs is it?

     Whatever happened to teaching people about gun safety? So many people die each year from accidents because of ignorance about gun safety. Its ridiculous. And Dianne Feinstein, the politician who is leading the Assault Weapons Ban movement, who is a self proclaimed authority on gun safety is no exception to this ignorance. She can be seen in this picture muzzle sweeping the reporters, her finger is on the trigger, her control of the gun is lose, and the bolt is closed. Guns are only as dangerous as you make them.

Quite dangerous in this case.

    This is a just a little bit of my opinion that I wanted to share with everyone. This topic is very important and relevant to us today.
