This latest massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School has brought out many people including Sen. Dianne Feinstein who said she will introduce a ban on assualt weapons.

Feinstein poses the question: Who needs these types of weapons? The answer is simple: We, the people, need these types of weapons to defend ourselves against our own government. "A well- regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." James Madison, the Constitution of the United States of America.

Feinstein, President Obama, Sen. Dick Durbin, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and many more of these socialists and liberals have been gnawing at many of our constitutional rights and will not stop until every home in our country is gunless.

More people are dying every year due to alcohol-related crimes, does that mean we should reinstate Prohibition?
