    I've been called crazy because I said they would eventually be coming for all guns... it has started.

    Umm, yeah even is this genuine, a universe where you can't use your Uzi submachine gun, Mac-10, or Spas-12 combat shotgun for duck hunting anymore isn't a dystopian nightmare world for the vast majority of people, even for most gun owners.

    Items designed to kill as many people as dead as possible as fast as possible should be illegal. End of story.

    Get used to it and et the **** over it, nobody cares about your whining or cult of victimization.

    Every single item on this list is a semi-automatic weapon.... just like the hundreds of millions of other guns not listed.

    All semi-automatic weapons are designed the same way. One trigger pull, one shot. In summation, this legislation is r****ded.

    I for one am thankful idiots like Feinstein are there to propose ridiculous laws. It strengthens state rights. See mar1juana legalization for details.

    No, it's not r****ded to keep military weapons out of civilian hands. Rather it's r****ded to allow people to have them for "sport"

    This is just getting stupid. I have serious reservations concerning a ban. I believe the difference will be minimal.

    There is nothing "military" about semi-automatic weapons, and to say so is ignorant. With the exception of some sniper rifles and sidearms and an occasional shotgun nearly every weapon the military uses is fully automatic, or has select fire modes.

    Semi-automatic weapons are in no way "military grade."

    Do you think reasonable people can disagree about where to draw the line as to which weapons the general public should be allowed to have?

    You strange, perverse-minded people who try to defend people-killing machines at all costs. I don't understand you.

    Are flamethrowers still okay?

    I'd hate to have to revert back to a lighter and a can of hairspray.

    What stops manufacturers from renaming guns and releasing them again?

    This is Negotiation 101. There is no intention of getting all of these banned. It's a start to get the weapons banned that the general public does not need and should not own.
