    Aside from being flat broke, they are also about to ban any semi automatic weapon. Rifle, shotgun, handgun, probably slingshot, that usb nerf dart launcher on your desk? Probably illegal soon. http://www.bizjournals.com/chicago/news/2013/01/03/illinois-assault-weapons-ban-passes.html

            No, less safe. Our non-fire arms crime is also high. Firearms are the private citizen's equalizer against violent criminals.

                When I did the research the AR style rifles are really kind of cool from an enthusiast perspective. You can keep all of the same hardware and swap out receivers/barrels, depending on what type of shooting you want to do. Want to plink or target shoot in they yard, swap in a .22 receiver, want to hunt, swap in the .223, want to do anything in between swap a few parts. Really, a very cool piece of machinery when you think about it. Of course, considering an 8 round .22 revolver is just as capable of killing kids as an assault rifle, we will all be safer with out the rifles, Not like a revolver fits concealed in your pocket while the rifle has to be visibly carried. But I digress. Ban all guns, all income should go to the government and then be redistributed based on need, cars that go over 60mph are to fast, and trucks are a waste, what we need is global public transit. Every one deserves free health care too; waiting 4 months to see a doctor so you can be denied surgery because you don't fit the right "category" is perfectly acceptable. Oh, and, ban, soccer, that game sucks. (This line is likely the most offensive line in my post)

                  Have you seen that Gun in the Photo of the article you linked too. Are you seriously bemoaning the fact that a State want's to outlaw it? I will sleep better in my Bed tonight knowing that if a Burglar crept into my house he wouldn't be armed with that, as he won't have access to it. My Missus will sleep easier in my Bed knowing that I can get up and Beat the Shit out of any Intruders, without having to rely on trying to get access to a Gun Cabinet in the middle of the night. At the end of the day I guarantee you my Missus feels more safer with me to protect her in a gun-free society than yours does in a gun-prevalent society, no matter how many guns of varying type you own. (Good Point on the NYE photos though, although I haven't seen them this Year I can imagine. Link will be appreciated.)

                      I'm genuinely curious as to whether there is a line the gun enthusiasts would draw as to which weapons were and were not suitable for Joe Public? Handguns - fine Single-shot rifles - fine Assault Rifles - fine Flame-throwers - I'm guessing they'd be fine, shoot your deer and BBQ it at the same time? Tanks - ? Helicopter gunships - ? Chemical weapons - ? Nukes - ? Andy B

                        What part of banning a gun, will stop a criminal from possessing or using one? In a county where these guns are already illegal, a criminal was caught with a fully auto high capacity accepting gun (by my future sister in law). I'll point out a fully auto tec9 has been illegal on the federal level since the 80's.

                            You'd probably have to clearly define assault rifle first. I see nothing wrong with semi auto rifles.

                                Not quite the same as the claimed legislation you posted a few days earlier in the Soapbox eh? Next thing you'll be telling us is that the Democrats started rumours that it would be much more draconian, so that when the bill was passed to the Senate, people would say "Phew, it's not as bad as we thought"!

                                  OK, I understand that in a Country that has an abundance of Guns, banning them now would be a bit like 'Bolting the Stable Door'. But over here Guns are extremely rare, (in fact I have only ever known one person to have a gun and he didn't have any bullets for it). Anyway where's my NYE links?

                                        I wonder what the shooting crime is like in Italy, where AR15's aren't that restricted.

                                          Flamethrowers are completely legal to make/own in the U.S., in fact I don't think they've ever been regulated. But let's look in the other direction too, should we ban all knives? Those are also weapons. Only criminals should be allowed to eat steak!
