Why add anything at all?  Have you looked through the law book to see how
many laws there are?  It is already illegal for a felon to own a gun.  The
severe penalties for use of a firearm are already in place.  What we need
to do is to get rid of the deals that the criminals always seem to strike
up with the prosecution.  Enforce the laws, keep the criminals locked up.
That's all.  Leave the law abiding citizens alone.

By the way, did you know that our famous AW ban includes guns used in
several sporting events including the olympics?  I sure am looking forward
to seeing BATF agents spring one of their famous assaults on the first day
of olympics in Atlanta.
