Nickel and diming, this is exactly what you are doing, you are just more extreme. Guns are still legal, you've just banned the ones you think are dangerous. The exact policy I'm referring too. But you can slaughter scores of people with the guns that are still legal if you felt like it.
Now I agree that felons and people with mental health issues should not have access (People with a DUI? Why?). But I entirely disagree with banning types of guns (Except automatic weapons).
Gun rampages usually happen the same way... Someone goes in and shoots up a school. This should be examined. Maybe people under the age of 21 should not be allowed access to guns (we don't let them drink).

You agree to the basic idea of regulating gun ownership, and prohibiting both some guns, and some would-be owners. No need to have a great pissing contest over the details, we all agree in principle.
Is it a nickel's, or a dime's worth of difference between full automatic and semi-automatic?
