Gun Control?

The repeated carnage from the lack of gun control, accompanied by unrelenting pressure from the NRA, leaves me baffled.  Within the last 48 hours, we had someone with no reason at all kill 3 or 4 courageous members of the Nevada National Guard at an IHOP.  He did this with an automatic weapon which has no hunting value at all.  Why does the NRA protest regulation of Automatic Weapons and handguns.

No advocate of gun control has every said hunting guns should be made illegal.  What is wrong with gun registration?  How is it different from a drivers license?  And, how is allowing anyone to own an automatic weapon in the national interest or in the interest of preserving hunting rights?

The sad thing about this, is that it will stir no debate about gun control as the NRA has paralyzed the entire center of the political spectrum, including me until tonight.

Automatic weapons should be tightly regulated.
