Yes your missing your brain and your dick, you coward.
You made a good call on that, but ruined it with insults.

However this is not a plan, it is calling for a ban of assault weapons, and high capacity clips.

Yup.
It's a start. We need to ban gun show loop holes as well.

It's a start.
This is a failed legislation. It got us nowhere, as a matter of fact, I think it made assault weapons more sexy, more mysterious, and desirable to people.
This is the same as the NRA asking for the government to give them a solution.
This creates barriers to dialog. As long as we talk about small issues, like assault weapons, or police in schools, we never address the larger issue of violence.

The NRA does not have the power it thinks it has. Shit is gonna happen or it will be used as leverage!

Apparently you didn't read the link and list.... it might not be "all", but her proposal covers quite a few....
From the link:
Following is a summary of the 2013 legislation:
Bans the sale, transfer, importation, or manufacturing of:
* 120 specifically-named firearms;
* Certain other semiautomatic rifles, handguns, shotguns that can accept a detachable magazine and have one or more military characteristics; and
* Semiautomatic rifles and handguns with a fixed magazine that can accept more than 10 rounds.
Good. Do it.
I agree. Should be stricter and much more regulation and policing.
which one looks "scarier"??
it appears a folding stock is also considered "scary"... as if!

I have long support the 2nd Amendment, but never contributed to the NRA. They have a very narrow agenda that is contrary to good gun ownership.
Today they proposed putting armed police in all schools saying the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is by having a good guy with a gun. Then the statement went on to say we need a national data base of the mentally ill.
I think they should have come out strongly with a gun education program, a gun training program, with a call for exploration of the term, and requirements for a militia.
We can have a more secure gun policy in this country, but it has to start with the people involved. Today's statement was just absolute nonsense.
