Summary of 2013 legislation. Assualt Weapons Ban

This just disgusts me to no end. I truly hope our elected officials will not let this pass. However I do not hold much faith in elected officials anymore. I urge everyone who reads this to contact your elected officials and let them know that you are against this. I don't see it passing the house but who knows these days.

What part of "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED"do these people not understand.
