I think you know we well recognize the fact that there has to be a curtailment of the illegal firearms coming in across the border.
Also, when you're talking of the second of your accepted principles, including the “prohibition on the use of arms that are of a nature to cause superfluous injury or unnecessary suffering”, or the “prohibition on weapons that are incapable of distinguishing between combatants and civilians”, are those not really all forms of rifles, shotguns, handguns, pistols, and not just limited to military-style assault weapons? You're really talking about a virtual ban on every form of firearm that is made.
