If the basis of your argument is on the perception of violence, where does it stop? video games? movies? tv? graphic t shirts? tattoos? what other "reminders of violence" would we get rid of?
While i do not disagree that the guy carrying an AR15 into a JCPenny is a douchebag.... i also recognize that an attack on anyone's freedom is an attack on everyone's freedom. We cant remove freedom based on perception and opinions. Also, these are issues that can be sorted out on a state and public level..... laws that suit New York, might not suit Alaska. I doubt anyone would blink if someone walked into a gas station in alaska with an AR15 on their back, so why allow the federal government to blanket us with restrictive regulations. Let the people/state decide what is best for them.
