Tom,<br><br>Since you're only one so far on v2020 who has suggested enacting laws that ban '<span style="">manufacture and/or possession of semi-automatic rifles and high </span><span style="">capacity ammunition magazines'</span> and further have now likened such bans to 1) the 'banning of abortion' (which has already been tried and failed) and, 2) the 'prohibition of alcohol' (a ban which was 100% constitutionally bullet proof and yet somehow no longer is in place), can you perhaps connect the dots with your own parallels to see the end game of your ban proposal?<br><br>Joe - should we now eliminate Tom' proposal along with the NRA's and move on to some other ideas? Or should both of these still be kept on the table for further vetting?<br><br>-Scott<br><br><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div><hr id="stopSpelling">CC: <a href="mailto:jampot@roadrunner.com">jampot@roadrunner.com</a>; <a href="mailto:bear@moscow.com">bear@moscow.com</a>; <a href="mailto:vision2020@moscow.com">vision2020@moscow.com</a><br>From: <a href="mailto:thansen@moscow.com">thansen@moscow.com</a><br>Subject: Re: [Vision2020] And just something to think about......<br>Date: Sun, 23 Dec 2012 14:47:59 -0800<br>To: <a href="mailto:scooterd408@hotmail.com">scooterd408@hotmail.com</a><br><br><div>What I am simply stating is that, if manufacture of semi-automatic weapons is criminalized, gun manufacturers of semi-automatic weapons should not be compensated for loss of potential revenue.
