Gun owners must lead in ban on assault weapons

Having owned guns and been an active hunter for more than 60 years I feel qualified to speak on the subject of guns.

Why do I own a gun in the first place-

I can think of only three possible reasons:

1. To go hunting
2. For target practice
3. For self defense

That being the case, why do we gun owners need an assault weapon-

Is it just for kicks-

Isn't it time we stepped up and told the NRA to take the lead in calling for a ban on the manufacture of all assault weapons-

During World War II, a manufacturer had to have a defense order to produce anything for use by the armed forces.

If we reinstated such a requirement, we could put an end to the manufacture or importation of these "toys" and also put an end to multiple slayings like at Virginia Teach and Columbine.

The NRA could expand it's membership and win over many anti-gun folks by taking this lethal bull by the horns.

The NRA needs to hear it from us gun owners. Let's call, write, or e-mail them at:
