I simply feel that to lump all gun control legislation into one unacceptable boxlot is both short sighted and counter-productive. The best way to express this are quotes from a McIntosh column on this exact subject: "There are no simple answers to complex questions. The real answer lies somewhere in the middle, where it's hard to hear the voices of reason because of so much hysterical shrieking ..." "Nothing is ever as simple as the lunatic fringes would have it be."
And then too, not all who disagree with you are your enemy. You asked what specifically I would support or cite. Difficult question in detail. I'm not much in favor of automatic weapons.

Kind of like saying that "I don't like 21' boats, but 19' and 22' are o.k...??? According to your comments and quotes, the fringe people are lunatics...??
We collect antique machine guns, water cooled aircraft Vicker's mainly from WWI, ...legal licensed, love to shoot them, collect them etc.......
So in your mind this is out because you had some experience in Harlem, or whatever, or you just don't like them, or see any use for avid collectors of automatic weapons etc. or want anyone else having them.......????.... Punish the criminal, NOT THE GUN OWNER..!
In your infinite wisdom, this indeed creates a problem....once you limit one gun with a broad paint brush, you create restrictions that cannot be removed....
CAN YOU SEE THIS SIR ????
Based on what you have written here, and how you voted, it appears that you did not study Obama as you should have before you voted...that is quite evident....or mabe you are just NOW backing up after realizing the HUGE mistake you have made... ???... Most likely, you are just a Bush hater, and jumped from a low heat pan into a MASSIVE INFERNO, ---I.E. your previous comments about complete sentences...????
