Common sense regulation won't effect my gun ownership or use or the ownership and use of any law abiding sane person. I can understand you crazy militia types, with all your conspiracy theory fears being concerned.
You have laws already that the Federal, State and Local agencies refuse to use, so why give you more when LEO will just never enforce them?
Two instances in Florida where LEO failed it duty to enforce laws they had already, so tell us Bully, which new regulations will lower firearm deaths and if they fail to do so what will be your excuse?
Laws against drunk driving don't stop drunk drivers killing people, but they are still worth while.
Been almost a century since they tried banning booze, how did that work out?
over 7 million 'assault' weapons in private hands.
how many have been used to kill people?
(hint: according to Mother Jones, less than 50 in about 40 years)
Is that a good reason to ban them?
Technically my pump action shotgun is a assault weapon and more dangerous than the AR-15 especially in close quarters.

So if a assault weapon ban were to take place my shotgun would be considered illegal.
Why do I own a shotgun and pump action one?
Simple, living in rural Texas you deal with Coyotes ( four or two legged ) wild boar and packs of wild dogs and to use a single or double barrel shotgun is pointless as can be.
The noise factor alone will scare most wild game and intruders off.
Now some Progressives believe you should call the local authorities or Sheriff department but when your nearest Sheriff could be an hour to two hour from you, well that shotgun is handy along with a good ol'.38 snub nose for close encounters...
So as some claim they are protecting society, well they are not protecting me out here in BFE Texas!
