As with Michael I'm about up to my eyeballs with it. The powers that be will reach for the moon and take whatever they can get for now. They have been held down for 12 years, 3 Presidential terms. Now they have the opportunity to howl and howl they will. The debate will be obfuscated from their real intent, as it already has been, and bent toward "public safety" and "the life of a child". Two issues where emotion rules. When emotion rules, liberty is a casualty. I care and care a great deal about our Constitution in toto, not just the 2nd Amendment. The 2nd Amendment isn't the only guaranteed right being trampled here.
To those who advocate "gun control", it has nothing to do with guns and everything to do with control, and, the 2nd Amendment isn't about duck hunting. I would encourage everyone, no matter their position, to find, purchase and read "The Founders Second Amendment" by Stephen Halbrook. After reading it, then tell me no one has a need, let alone a right, to own a 30 round magazine. Black rifles aren't my cup of tea...but woe be to the person who tells me I cannot own one.
