I think that some regulations need to be reexamined. Some of those should be eliminated. Some current regulations that are in place but not enforced vigorously possibly should be. Personally, though, I rather doubt the Founding Fathers foresaw assault weapons in the hands of a citizenry who no longer really has a militia like theirs. True assault weapons are full auto weapons. They were all ready highly regulated before any of the assault weapons bans. The recent laws basically ban weapons based on their appearance. A semi-auto so called "assault weapon", lacks the concealability of pistols, the close in power of a shotgun, or the long range sniper ability of a high powered hunting rifle. Yet all three of those are completely legal. Some people in congress and in state legislatures are scared of how the guns look, so they ban them. If the government can ban some weapons for no logical reason, then what weapons are next? Its a completely emotional and arbitrary use of government power that is unsupported by either constitutional law or honest reasoned argument. Tim
