    No one needs access to an assault weapon. This country really needs to rethink these gun laws. Hunting is one thing. Military style weaponry is just that a weapon!

    2nd Amendment ( right to bear arms ), was amended in 1791 and none of these forefathers are around anymore to see the repercussions of what they have amended; it's up to those who are around to wake up and smell a new flavor for the modern times.

    We have no choice but to ban assault weapons, and high capacity magazines for civilians NOW. If we do not, then we as a nation approve of this horrific tragedy.

    There is no reason at all for people to own assault weapons. Stop the insanity and bring back the ban on assault weapons.

    assault weapons of military grade have no place in any household in america. These are designed to commit mass killings and for the purpose of self defence we do not need such high powered weapons. Please ban all semi automatics in USA, confiscate them from current owners. Second amendment is outdated and needs to be tweaked to fit our current culture and circumstances. It should DEFINE the kind of arms that a citizen can legally keep and bear.

    There's no logical reason for civilians to own assault weapons. If you want an assault weapon, enlist in the armed services. Enough

    These weapons are not designed for home protection. They are designed to kill people. Haven't we learned anything by all the violence just in the recent past?

    Please ban these weapons!! Nobody needs assault weapons to hunt. They are made to kill people. Keep them out of the hands of non soldiers.

    There is absolutely no rationale for owning an assault weapon. Citizens should recognize that the gun lobby is protecting the interest of the manufacturers of these type of weapon. It's not about freedom; IT'S ABOUT MONEY.

    The second amendment doesn't suggest that having an assault weapon that can shoot over 100 bullets or more is the true meaning of the amendment. STOP THE NRA and its lobbist--for them, its all about the money gun dealers make and not even run a background check on any weapons purchased, Are we that barbaric? Statistics show we definitely are barbaric and lack any moral fiber. Guns kill, frankly all guns should be outlawed. How many more children do you want to see brutally murdered??????

    It is beyond insane that assault weapons are allowed to be possessed by the general public. You can place the blame for the tragedy in Newtown directly on the heads of the N.R.A. and their buddies in congress.
