The constitution protects our right to own guns. It's perfectly clear and doesn't need to be voted on. [/quote] What if the proposed ban was only on assualt weapons? [/quote] The 2nd Amendment, the government will never remove all of their assault weapons in their arsenal to level the playing field thus neither should the citizens. The 2nd Amendment was meant to keep the population armed and capable to defend themselves against government tyranny, which still occurs worldwide. Having assault weapons ensures that we can maintain our freedoms if necessary and not be slaves to the whims of government as you are it is called the balance of power and maintaining the status quo without actual force. It might be a good thing that you have been brainwashed and conditioned to believe the government will care for you and protect you because if the world economic conditions further falter reality will be a hard pill to swallow. [/quote] Are you fucking insane with this "leveling the playing field" shit? Do you really believe for a moment that the military couldn't wipe out any group of "militia" with assault weapons, no matter how many assault weapons they had? Ever hear of airstrikes? Drones? Tanks? What the fuck are you smoking that allows you to believe for a minute that you and your friends with your stockpiles of assault weapons would make a shred of difference if your crazed fantasies about government conspiracies to steal your liberty actually came true? It's beyond ridiculous and shouldn't be part of any serious discussion about gun control. [/quote] Well lie down and spread your cheeks and submit to the whims of the government as obviously you fail to understand that many veterans and active duty still understand and respect the Constitution even if you do not. The principle behind the second Amendment is to not apply force as a well-equipped populace is a viable deterrence. Why do you believe the progressives in our government seek to neuter us from our second Amendment rights? [/quote]

Given that USA is the world leading democracy and all could go along with the majority decision.
And those that disagreed could spend their time convincing others of their case, until such time that it might be appropiate to have another vote.
