I agree with a lot said here. I think our government is to blame but also ourselves. It seems our government is not accountable for anything these days and we all pretty much stay quiet and let them do as they please. We have become subdued and complain about things but never act on it. I also think it wont just be mini 14's that become banned but anything semi auto and then every firearm completely, like England and other countries. Funny though the crime rate is still high there and the criminals still have guns, funny how that works. We have few rights and everyday they take more away.
