Well, as was just adjucated this past summer or fall, our 2nd Amendment rights shall NOT be infringed, especially when it concerns any sort of total ban such as Washington D.C. has to now fix. As the daughter of a legally registered law-abiding firearms dealer, I grew up with firearms in my life from before I can remember. My sons have both grown up with guns in their lives, and my husband owns several of those "military issue weapons" such as his treasured M1 Garand. I think if there were any attempt to blanket-ban military issue weapons, the outcry and uproar would be beyond belief. It's bad enough they ban other stupid stuff "For Our Safety (and Their Control of Us)", but there is a limit and I'm pretty sure they're at or close to at our limits as it is.
Ugh *steps off her soapbox* sorry for the lecture!
