Who says pro-gun means anti-control? Gun control should be used to allow honest citizens have guns. So say you did 10 years for a murder, you serve your sentence and get out...you should not be able to go buy a gun.
You're an honest tax paying citizen, you should be able to go buy a gun.
If a person wants something, they'll get it whether its legal or not.

I've had a few people ask, "why would any one need an assault rifle in their house? Why would you need a fully auto rifle" I then asked them if they thought that ever AR was fully auto...they said yes. Some people just don't know and they believe the worst. I mean, I understand not knowing something but don't accuse/make statements about "facts" if you don't know about the facts of the "facts"

Anyone else see the bil Obama passed today? He, and all former Presidents get S.S. security for life. He's protected by FULL AUTO guns, but we can't have more than 7 rounds in a magazine.
I sincerely hope someone shoots Cuomo.

However, I just found the Washington Post transcipt of his press conference and he does, in fact, call on Congress to reinstate the 10-round magazine and "assault weapons" ban.

Oh, and no mention of suicides, inner city or black-on-black incidents being a disproportionate amount of violent crime relative to total population and, of course, no mention that firearms related homicides have been trending down for the last several years despite a high volume of firearms sales.

If that is the actual list of his initiatives, I have a hard time - on their face - objecting strongly to most (any) of them.
However, I just found the Washington Post transcipt of his press conference and he does, in fact, call on Congress to reinstate the 10-round magazine and "assault weapons" ban.

I still am highly doubtful of an AWB or magazine ban happening.
