"So what are you actually doing about it?"

I oppose HR45 and have let my legislators know.


"I don't know that gun control is necessarily an agenda of the far left exclusively."

Contact Your Speaker of the House and see what her position is for confirmation.

"A lot of people are in favor of gun control, particularly in metropolitan areas where drug dealers and gangs are using weapons on each other and in the execution of crimes. The police in metro areas regularly run gun turn in amnesty and gun buys."

Gun control/regulation does nothing in this situation. Don't think dealers and gangs are the ones who turn in or sell their guns to the cops. I rather doubt that these folks will register their guns.

"But, you know there are some people out there that have fully automatic weapons that are not appropriate for hunting or even reasonable for personal/property protection. Some people just don't have good sense around weapons. And I'd like to think they'd maybe make it a little tougher for people like that to get weapons."

Fully automatic weapons are already illegal - have been for years. Registration will not remove these weapons from circulation and would have no bearing on a persons decision to buy one - they have to be purchased illegally anyway.
