        But many of us do. Any organization supporting banning a rifle based on the way it looks rather than the way it functions cannot be trusted, and will be fought. Amazing that that's so hard for some to comprehend. Banning regular capacity magazines will accomplish nothing either -- for reasons which have been explained over and over again.
MDA will accomplish nothing. Liars reep the rewards of their lies.

        So where do they stand on banning "assault weapons" and normal-capacity magazines?

        Then don't pretend it's about "saving lives", since rifles are the least misused of all weapons.

        I beg to differ, particularly when the focus is on preventing people from liking guns.
