FUCKING CNN.

The Clinton administration imposed a ban on several types of military-style semi-automatic rifles and high-capacity magazines in 1994, but that ban was allowed to lapse in 2004. Obama has proposed restoring the ban, requiring background checks for buyers at gun shows, and other "common-sense measures."


Yeah, THAT'S why everyone is freaking out, because he wants us to do background checks. AND WHY THE FUCK IS THIS STORY UNDER THE "CRIME" SECTION?

I don't mind the background checks, but you're right...why is this in the CRIME section.  Ricockulous...

Because banning them is a crime, via the constitution.

+1.  I like your line of thinking.  Never thought of it that way.

If crime control were the measure of effectiveness then the AWB was a complete failure.  But we all know gun control isn't about crime control.

I was being sarcastic about the background check thing.

Isn't Obama the guy who wants to give felons the right to vote?  Even felons who committed gun related felonies?  That just seems strange to me that someone would be so lenient on criminals but so adamant about banning a tool..........
