A gun can not control itself ( although with the current technology that might be a stretch) It needs a human being on the other end of it looking down the sites. you think that gun has to live with killing the people its killed no the person on the giving end does.
He's not threatening to remove any constitutional rights....He's not threatening to confiscate guns.

Exactly!! So why not guide our society toward a environment that promotes positive things instead of killing!
Guns are directly linked to an idea of killing and death.
Besides, if those baddies you speak of couldnt go out to Wal-mart and pick up a gun after grocery shopping, then they wouldn't be used so frequently in schools, malls and movie theaters.

well Hitler did the same thing in 1938 and we all know how that ended.
While I don't believe anyone can tell you what you should be allowed to do, especially if you are responsible, you might want to brush up on your history. If you are referring to the Feinstein Bill and are comparing it to Hitler's gun control policy, although they are similar, Hitler's policy was an extension of post-World War I gun control measures set on Germany by the Allies to keep Germany from militarizing itself.
The proposed Feinstein assault weapons ban itself doesn’t call for confiscation, and would in fact allow owners of any banned guns to keep their weapons when/ if the bill goes into effect. A Connecticut lawmaker is calling for background checks to buy ammo, but this is in no way in the “confiscation” vein.
Hitler, then, came into power when this regulation was in effect … so, yes, Hitler, by default, did have a gun control policy — but only because it was forced on Germany.
I'm not defending this monster, only showing you that the thing most often repeated by the pro-gun people is a fallacy.
