No. But you dont seem keen on wanting to rid yourself of regulation of firearms, right? To simply say "anyone who wants a gun can own one no questions asked". Theres a line, although fine, between regulation and banning. The american People have spoken and it doesn't look as though your praised assault weapons are going anywhere. Even after a knee-jerk "ban on assault rifles" after a horrific incident, the bill to ban assault rifles was ultimately cut down until all it did was try to close the gun show loophole, which IMO is absolutely required. Otherwise what is the point of having background checks and licenses if you just circumvent the system by buying at gun shows.

We've already demonstrated the uproar that would happen in the event of an assault rifle ban. But the NRA is getting up in arms over the closing over the gun show loophole. And frankly that's ridiculous, the gun show loophole should absolutely be closed, or else whats the point of having all these regulations if you just go around most of it.
