The only thing I have an issue with, is the assault weapon ban and the high capacity magazine ban.
I have no issues whatsoever with background checks on every gun purchase, private or not, and no issues with the mental health reporting as long as it has its checks & balances.
I wouldnt have an issue with background checks for high capacity magazines either. But outright banning them just seems stupid to me.
And it seems like the majority of people seem to think that the assault weapon ban of the 90's actually banned assault weapons. Actually, it did no such thing. It only stopped a weapon from having too many features... such as a bayonet lug. So guess what happened? You didnt buy a weapon with a bayonet lug. You could still buy an assault weapon that had every other feature that you wanted. Or at least the ones that I wanted.
The assault weapon ban just seems like a waste of time and money, as it didnt solve anything before and it wont solve anything now. I doubt that congress will pass it. Even if they do, there will still be just as many (if not more) assault weapons being produced and sold... without a bayonet lug. Big deal.
