The Attorney General Eric Holder just announced that Obama will seek to renew the Clinton assault weapon ban.  Part of the reasoning was to help keep the automatic machine guns and grenades out of Mexico. What really doesn’t make sense is that grenades ARE illegal for citizens and fully automatic machine guns are extremely regulated and hard to come by. The few I’ve seen available for sale were $15,000 or more. How is this going to be reduced by banning semi-automatic firearms? The logic makes no sense to me. And if Mexico doesn’t want our guns, then tell them to keep their drugs out of America.  New laws aren’t going to make criminals all of a sudden decide to obey the law. It’s illegal to transfer guns into Mexico already. It’s illegal to give them to criminals already. It’s illegal to use them for illegal purposes already. But none of this has stopped the criminals yet. So why would new laws change their minds. And don’t think that by taking them away from law abiding citizens that it will really be that hard for criminals to get them. Like I already mentioned, grenades are already illegal. Drugs are illegal. But that doesn’t stop determined criminals from getting them. Why don’t we focus our time and attention on CRIMINALS instead of taking away freedoms and liberties from law abiding citizens. Stop thrashing the constitution and leave our freedoms, our liberties, and our guns alone.
