Subject:   Obama is coming for your guns

Got to disagree with this.   Gun control is an obvious place to start to reduce gun related violence, and we've lived comfortably with limits when we imposed them on ourselves.   When I was a kid, shotguns were limited to 3 rounds.   That never interfered with hunting, nor was such a gun useless for home defense.    

You can't own a machine gun already.   And no shoulder fired missiles.   No bazookas.  Not having these readily available on the streets has not been a problem, nor has it been considered a challenge to citizen's rights..   My 20 yr old nephew just showed me a picture of a rifle he was looking at with a friend.   A 50cal Barrett sniper rifle, suitable for pin point accuracy at a mile or more distance.   What civilian needs a firearm like that?

If someone wants to keep a gun for self-protection, that's going to always be OK in the US.   We have too deep a tradition of gun ownership to abolish it completely.   But there should be legal limits on firepower, and military-style weapons aren't needed unless you're in a war.
