Such laws don't affect innocent people, or make criminals out of otherwise law-abiding citizens, since it's already illegal to commit the crime (e.g., armed robbery) in the first place. <br /><br />But politicians like Mike Honda seem to be more interested in harassing honest citizens than in punishing or deterring criminals.<br /><br />And, on the one hand, anti-gun activists make it sound like mass shooting sprees with military-type rifles happen every ten minutes in this country. On the other hand, they insist that civilians don't need body armor that can protect against rifle ammunition. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
