Do you own a semiautomatic weapon, Gary? If not, then not owning one is no big deal. If so, what exactly do you do with it? Why is having it more of a benefit than saving the life of that precious child? I'm really trying to get this but I don't.<br>

<div>I can't speak to "violent crimes" over all as I don't know how it's defined but gun violence is down. The assault weapons ban had zero effect on gun crime.</div>

Suicide by firearm only requires but a single shot. Why would any sane American believe that once one class of firearm was made illegal that others wouldn't soon follow?
