I get the argument but it is misdirected as usual when sacred cows are the real issue.  But the history of gun control is a sad story of opposite results.  So if you really care about reducing gun violence you should be for the opposite of what you seem to want.

But here's some good questions for you to ponder.  

How many mass murders have occurred in the U.S. with assault weapons? A. None

Of the six worst mass murders using guns how many occurred in the U.S. and how many in gun control crazy Europe?  A. 3 of the 6 worst occurred in Europe

What weapon was used to commit the worst murder of school children in our history?  A.  A bomb

Professor John Lott's very fine book, "More Guns, Less Crime" debunks each and every one of the claims by gun control proponents and actually demonstrates that if you want to reduce gun crime promote concealed carry.  You have a choice, argue from the perspective of irrational emotion or step back, look at the truth and if you do you will come to an entirely different conclusion.  How many more people have to die as a result of gun control laws before folks like you come to your senses?  Or do you just not care, or maybe you just feel helpless and want to do something....anything, even if it makes the problem worse?
