[quote:Anonymous Coward 20901652:MV8xOTQwOTY2XzMyNTE1ODY1XzY4QUNFOUE2] [quote:Anonymous Coward 7648822:MV8xOTQwOTY2XzMyNTE1MjcxXzdCNEQ5OTI4] The thing is, is that [u]Everything[/u] is deadly when misused. So, do we ban the internet because some dumbass stays up 72 hrs straight playing games on it till he dies? Or maybe we should ban food because people over eat and die due to the health effects. Or maybe lets ban doctors because they prescribed a deadly medication and someone died from it. It goes on and on and on. Think about it. Let people live free and take away those who take those freedoms away. For instance I'm living free and you kill me, then you should be taken away from everyone else to make sure that it never happens to anyone else. We were meant to be FREE. [/quote] ban gasoline, could be used to start a fire. ban acid could be used as a weapon ban baseball bats ban knives, we will cut our food with forks and spoons. ban chain saws ban electricity ban rat poison ban people having arms, they can throw all sorts of things, spears, arrows, clubs, axes! Ban, people, and then there will be no more deaths. This gets so retarded. [/quote]
Original Message
Democratic Sen. Frank Lautenberg on Monday continued his lead role in advancing gun control legislation in the wake of the Aurora, Colo. mass shooting by introducing a bill to ban the online sale of ammunition.
"If someone wants to purchase deadly ammunition, they should have to come face-to-face with the seller," Lautenberg stated in his announcement. "It's one thing to buy a pair of shoes online, but it should take more than a click of the mouse to amass thousands of rounds of ammunition."
"The Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act" asserts the following: ammunition will only be sold by licensed dealers; buyers who are not licensed dealers will be required to present photo identification; and licensed dealers must maintain records of ammunition sales and report to officials the sale of more than 1,000 rounds to an unlicensed person.
