Again, i disagree about that contention. I would imagine that most crimes that involve guns are not assault weapons. Yet you don't see that push being made.

At any rate, there is a variety of things that need to be considered to help stop these mass shootings. I just read an article in todays paper about strengthening background checks, increasing funding for states to improve their checks...

But i have to say that mentioning banning some types of weaponry should not immediately conjure up images of all guns being confiscated. Not gonna happen. The now defunct assault ban didnt lead to it when it went into effect before.
In response to dui crimes, penalties were stiffened, attitudes were changed. What was once commonplace is now a serious crime. We need to approach this in the same way. People can still drink, they just have to get a designated driver.
