Washington does NOT have a lack of revenue problem. We have a spending problem. Let's cut the budget 2% this year and 2% again next year (real cut's not imaginary cuts in what we could have spent) and then limit the growth of spending to be less than the growth in revenues. We could easily have the deficit reduced to zero in less than a decade. Just cut the growth. If you want the deficit eliminated sooner, cut a little more and then adopt a pro-growth tax system.

We need better laws, not more gun control. Will a person seeking to kill people see a psychiatrist if these laws go into effect? Will they share those thoughts with their therapist? To cover their butts, therapists will have to report anybody with a hint of violent intention.

Let California sink shoot itself in the foot. Keep in mind, the lefties won't learn from it.

Actually, it's less than 5%. Using the FBI statistics for 2006-2010, only in one of those years did the number of homicides with rifles exceed 3% -- and that was just barely. But it's possible we're using different sets of reported numbers. However, you're right on point. We want to ban a sub-set of a class of firearms used in less than 5% of all murders based entirely upon their appearance.
