I have been following the gun control debate since the 60's. After each shooting there is a predictable rush by the advocates of legislative gun control to put forward their respective remedies. Rhetoric flies back and forth, some laws are passed, others are not, and it happens again. Let's look at the proposals that keep coming up. Assault weapon bans: A proper description of an assault weapon is a fully automatic firearm. These are regulated under National Firearms Act of 1934 and are legally owned when in compliance with that act. Current legislation under consideration has no effect on these firearms. The most common miss-application of assault weapon is the AR-15. This rifle has been available to the public since 1963 when the military accepted the M-16 as its standard ...
The Missouri House passed a bill Thursday that seeks to allow the state to reject federal firearms laws. The bill, approved 115-41, now goes to the state Senate. If signed into the law, the bill rejects all federal gun control measures, including the National Firearms Act of 1934 and the Gun Control Act of 1968.

As a husband and the father of a 19-month-old daughter, I strongly oppose the Maryland Senate's Firearm Safety Act of 2013. It represents no viable solutions to violent crime, and like other anti- gun proposals, has been proven as a resounding failure across the country. Criminals simply do not obey gun bans, register their firearms or comply with any gun control schemes. As a result, only law-abiding citizens will be left defenseless. Assault weapon" is a misnomer. These are not "military weapons designed for human carnage." In fact, there are vast, legal and mechanical differences between a semi-automatic firearm and a fully automatic "military" firearm. Fully automatic firearms are defined as "machine guns" and are heavily regulated by the National Firearms Act of 1934, the Gun Cont...
For the benefit of Jim Byrnes, writer of the letter "Assess fee to own guns," and others of like mind, the fee he suggests would run counter to long-standing U.S. Supreme Court rulings that state the exercise of a constitutional right shall not be taxed. The fee he recommends is obviously a tax on the exercise of a constitutional right. As to his suggestion to "register all automatic rifles": "Think twice, post once" comes to mind. For pity's sake, look at a long- existing federal law, the National Firearms Act of 1934. It is rather interesting, as he might find.

Pitts should get his facts straight Re the Leonard Pitts Jr. column, "Polarization will keep our gun laws insane," Jan. 29: There is not a single state in the country that allows hunting with "fully automatic weapons." Since the enactment of the National Firearms Act in 1934, automatic weapons have been severely restricted. There is a $200 federal transfer tax on an automatic weapon, and they are difficult to find. While some states, such as Vermont and Nevada, allow citizens to own such firearms, if they comply with the federal statutes, other states, such as California, prohibit them entirely.
Who is responsible for the terrible Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting? Once you get past the shooter himself, there is still plenty of blame to go around. Perhaps we should start with the politicians. Many Democrats have been trying to disarm the American public since the days of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Following the "Bonus Marchers" of 1932, there was the ban on automatic weapons, the National Firearms Act of 1934. Like they did with Obamacare, the Democrats are playing the long game of disarming the American public.
