There you go again. Blaming the weapon is not in the realm of psychologists, with declaring an individual a risk.
There are any number of people, including an alcohol prohibition era Supreme Court precedent, which identify "war weapons" as the most protected by the Second. The militia, which is charged among other things with repelling invasions, must have personal access to the most common firearms used by armies. You need an amendment (or at least a stacked Supreme Court willing to legislate from the bench) to end that.
Bob is correct. The US has tried any number of prohibitions and none have lead to good results.
The War on Drugs, gunz banz, tobaccy bans, alcohol prohibition, soft drink taxes, abortion bans, are all the same. Subjective morality laws don't work. , It's pretty simple, actually . Demand creates its own supply. The law of supply and demand trumps any legislative law.
