Quote "The is nothing IMO that can be done from a legal perspective to keep weapons out of the hands of gang members in Chicago and if Obama doesn't know this he's more ignorent than I thought."
Obama is not ignorant. “Assault” rifles are the current poster child for gun control. 30 years ago it was handguns and the “Saturday night special”. It’s not about controlling crime its about controlling firearms and always has been. That is why as gun owners we must stick together. I am willing to work with Obama or whomever to control violent firearms crime but let’s target the criminals not the law abiding citizens. Use an “assault weapon in your crime and that triples the penalty. Use the laws we already have on the books and if the penalty is 15 years then keep the perpetrators incarcerated for 15 years. Developing laws which only the law abiding adhere to doesn’t make any sense in violent crime reduction unless controlling crime was not your original agenda to begin with.
