Hillary Clinton calls for renewed assault weapons ban: they're a 'weapon of war'

116. I understand the frustrations of current laws

The process of gun control has been more politics-driven then based upon common sense, producing poorly-conceived laws like forbidding fixed magazines, resulting in our Olympic shooters being screwed. And why can I have a bayonet in California, or a pistol grip, or a fixed bipod, but not all of the above? Why do I have to go through a waiting period and thorough background check if I buy a gun from the store, but if I go to a gun show I can skip most of that? And is there really much a difference between a 10 round magazine and a 15 round hi-cap? Gee, I have to reload 50% more often during my killing spree! Here's an interesting Ca gun law flowchart that explains my confusion more than it clears it up: http://www.calguns.net/caawid/flowchart.pdf
