Anyways, in response to the Newtown, Connecticut shooting where Adam Lanza supposedly killed 20 students with an "Assault Rifle," Obama proposed his recent gun ban. Parts of it are based off of the same elements that Clinton's ban contained, but this time it is much worse. It proposes to ban around 80% of the firearms circulating/commonly used right now all for "the safety of our citizens, and mostly children." He is proposing to ban all "Assault Weapons," place a capacity limit of 10 rounds per firearm, and tighten up background checks before the purchase of a firearm.

Each of these proposals directly infringes on our constitutional right to bear arms.

Obama, Biden, and many of our uninformed or anti-gun citizens are taking the wrong step to end these shootings, if those are what they are even after.

Fun fact: In the Newtown, Connecticut (Sandy Hook) school shooting, the alleged "Assault Rifle" that was "used" for the massacre was not even used.

On January 18th, details from the Federal investigation of the Sandy Hook shooting were released. They stated, and were later proven by video footage, that there were 4 handguns discovered in the school that were involved in the shooting, and the assault rifle remained fully loaded and untouched in the trunk of Adam's mother's car. Also, prior to the shooting Adam attempted to purchase an AR-15 to use in the shooting and was turned down.

In other words pistol's were proven to be used during the shooting, not the alleged assault rifle, and this is still pushing some anti-gun loving American citizens emotionally to vote to have them banned because they are the cause of the shooting, when they're not. One phrase that every gun enthusiast knows by heart is, "Guns don't kill people, people kill people," and it's 100% true. Some citizens, Senator Feinstein, VP Biden, and even our President Obama need to take this phrase into serious consideration, because a gun control ban will cause no beneficial effect and this has been proven in the past.
