Not necessarily, Senator Reid claims that it'll be proposed as an amendment rather than a bill.

[EazyE]

Good.

Good-Congress Man: forget no, this is the most used weapon on these sprees. You can see that allowing non-automatic hunting rifles and shotguns can still abide by these laws, and we can keep pistols.
Bad-Congress Man: FART
Congress drops ban on assault weapons.


Kinda went against my own beliefs, haha.

If somebody was ready to go out and kill several innocent people, what makes you think a bill would stop them from acquiring the weapons in the first place?

It's not like any criminal would actually get it in a legal way.

Exactly. One could argue that the bill would've prevented law-abiding citizens from acquiring weapons of equal force to stop said mass killers, but that's kind of dumb considering a gun of any caliber is lethal.

as if banning assault weapons would mean anything
if a criminal doesn't give a forget about killing people, why would they abide by a ban on weapons?
