     And your point is:

       A) Not enough people are being killed by assault weapons
            for us to do anything about it.

       B) Gee, it's too bad they are dead, but look at all the 
            great BENEFITS we are getting from over the counter
            sales of these things. Like for instance.......
     
       C) I've got my Uzi, and anyone that tries to take it from
            is chopped beef.
