The Commission believes that ―assault weapons like the AR-15, as well as large capacity magazines (LCM‘s) often used with those weapons, have no legitimate place in the civilian population. The Commission finds that the cost to society of easy civilian access to assault weapons and LCM‘s vastly outweighs the benefits of civilian ownership. By contrast, the Commission finds that the significant benefit to society from eliminating civilian ownership and possession of assault weapons and LCM‘s can be realized with only a minimal burden on persons who want to hunt, engage in target practice or use weapons for self-defense. They remain free to engage in those activities with a vast array of long guns and handguns.

Yet another vapid iteration of the "demon gun" meme. Nor is there any cognizance of a "system failure", where,(apparently) a single mom appealed to social agencies for help without response.
Seems to me Sandy Hook - and manifold CT government agencies et al - are engaging in a massive "disinformation" campaign. We ought to be asking the " CT powers that be" why they didn't catch Adam Lanza before he went on a rampage. We ought to be asking why - in a society where our every thought, action and utterance is subject to government surveillance - they weren't aware of the threat he posed. But that would be an indictment of the progressive meme. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
