FoolsPrussia: Constitutional rights are not subject to popular opinion, especially this recent media driven hysteria.
Let me put it this way, Would you allow republicans to ban 150 newspapers and TV news shows? Even if you'd still have 1500+ left?
Of course you wouldn`t, and there`s no difference between the two, both laws would be unconstitutional.

I'm not offering my opinion on the assault weapons ban. Just pointing out that it`s not like a majority are opposed to it like you`re saying. That`s why the Founders put our fundamental rights into the constitution instead of leaving them subject to mob rule.

Guns are for people who can't think or work with explosives. Sure, A bullett may have your name on it, but a stick of dynamite say`s :To whom it may concern.
"Overall on the issue of guns Texans say they trust the NRA over President Obama by a 47/43 margin.
And despite all of that 49% of Texas voters support an assault weapons ban to just 41% opposed to it. Most Democrats support it, independents favor it by a 53/34 margin, and even among Republicans 23% support it. We've found support for the assault weapons ban everywhere we`ve polled it, but it`s particularly striking to see that voters favor it in a pro-gun, anti-Obama state like Texas."

@DinVen, you just went full-blown retard there. If we ever have to overthrow our government, the military will be on our side, not theirs.
