Larry Hirsch: Assault Weapons Ban: It's Common Sense

Keegan,,Please,,,,have an opinion of your own & not one of a staff writer for the Huffington Post of all places. Here is an introduction of Hirsh taken from the Post; "Larry Hirsch has been active for over two decades in New York City politics.
He is the Former President of Community Free Democrats and was the State Committeeman for the 69th Assembly District .
After spending the first 50 years of his life in New York City, Mr. Hirsch and his family have moved to New Jersey, where he expects to get active. "

Give us some personal insight into your position against firearms, please.

So.....ignorance fueled by misinformation? That article will make anyone even remotely familiar with firearms laugh.

I agree. Those who regularly laugh at facts and unnecessary deaths often defend the right to the tools to cause those deaths. Of course the weapons makers and sellers encourage such misinformation and ignorance.

Interesting that most law enforcement groups support a ban on automatic weapons, though.

I doubt that this is a topic where a consensus can be reached here.

Wait. What country are we talking about? In the US, there has never been talk of banning automatic weapons, which are closely regulated. There was an 'assault weapon' ban which was more about appearance, than anything else.

My mistake. I mistakenly typed automatic rather than assault. Sorry.

I never met a serious gun person who didn't support such a ban.
