Summary of Feinstein's Gun Bill coming in January

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

I'm beginning to think that this is a little like healthcare, war, Roman style occupations of other countries, and now guns. I keep reading that assault weapons and high magnitude rifles are selling like cups of mocha on a cold winter night out of "fear" of gun bans. Which is absurd,

Indeed, almost as absurd as infringing on the rights of millions of to go after weapons that only kill 500 Americans a year.

You can be glad you are not among those 500, can't you? Don't you understand that ONE is too many? No, as I've said before, gun control will not fix it all, but it's sure as hell going to help!

Ban soda machines! After all, people do occasionally die while trying to tamper with them. And "one is too many."

Another thing is, someone who is tampering with a soda machine or trying to treat a horse, or driving a car for that matter, is taking some positive action to put themselves in danger. People who have never come close to a gun can still be killed with one. That's part of what makes it a public health issue, and not just the concern of those who have them.

'kay, how about smoking, then?

What about it? Secondhand smoke is taken quite seriously, even though breathing in secondhand smoke is preferable to even a 0.5% chance of getting shot. Smoking, in general, is taken quite seriously. Every year new smoking bans go into effect. Btw, this thread reminds me that I live in Virginia now.

I didn't mean whether smoking is being restricted, but whether it should.
