Why? The last one had no discernable impact on crime, and the violent crime rate has been steadily dropping since the end of the last ban. "Assault weapons" are really really low on the list of things that people actually kill eachother with. Hammers, knives, and swimming pools are all exponentially more likely to kill you and will account for far more deaths every year

People keep talking about common sense, well common sense dictates that going after "assault weapons" which are the least commonly used weapon in violent crime, is pretty dumb. Especially considering that bans have never actually accomplished anything other than to create black markets ran by gangs who are responsible for the vast majority of violent crime in this country [/quote]

Common sense indicates that assault weapons have only two uses:

1. Murdering lots of people very efficiently.
2. Fun at the shooting range.

Common sense indicates that, given the first use, people who like the second use can find a different hobby. Find something else to shoot, when you want to have fun at the shooting range.[/quote]
