half of the nation's deadliest shootings occurred after the ban expired. hard six mass shootings that have been deadlyer after the expiration of the ban. bring back the assault weapon's ban. ban manufacturer importation, transfer of high-capacity assault weapons. i don't care whether it's called gun control, i'm all for it. i say it as someone who prefers fox news to msnbc. i say it as someone who thinks the district court got it right. i say it as someone who

generally speaking is not a big fan of the regulatory states. it has a useful advocacy function in our liberal democracy, and there is just no need for civilians to own an assault weapon. it speaks horribly the public discourse in this country that talking about gun reform in the wake of a mass shooting is inappropriate or politicizing a mass tragedy. it is inappropriate only to those dilutional enough to believe it would disrespect the victims of the gun violence to do anything but sit around and mourn their death.

murdered in connecticut, but at the same time it strikes me as a little hypocritical when the military has killed literally thousands of innocent children in iraq and afghanistan, which were war crimes so i think they should also look at a un treaty -- >> stephanie: first of all, i don't know if you have seen this soldier that did do this massacre in afghanistan, they can asking for the death penalty for him. >> sure. and i don't agree with the assertion that everyone should have them or nobody should have them in. because you don't want someone like me haven an assault weapon.

couple of quick points i wanted to make. i'm looking at a chart nypd gun fight statistic from 1990 to 2000 they had a mean score of 15% for hits. do you think it's reasonable to limit a civilian's ability to have a higher class of magazine to defend themselves with a handgun and hold them to a higher standard than an nypd officer. >> stephanie: i think i'm missing your point entirely. you need an assault weapon to defend yourself. >> caller: no there is also the limit for higher capacity magazines for handguns -- >> stephanie: you need a high capacity magazine to defend yourself. >> if an nypd officer is only

going to hit their target 15% of the time, why would you want to hold a civilian to a higher standard? i mean these are trained officers. and then the other point -- >> stephanie: but that makes no sense at all. >> caller: oh, sure it does. >> no it doesn't. >> caller: if the average police officer is only going to hit their target one out of six shots -- >> stephanie: so everybody needs assault weapons because they have bad aim? >> caller: no, i'm saying put reasonable restrictions on rifles -- >> stephanie: what is reasonable? >> caller: i do believe that there should be the ban on high capacity 30-round magazines that should be reinstituted. but the point is most people for self-defense when they are carrying a handgun, a glock, for instance, if you limit that capacity, you are limiting the person's ability to defend themselves from one or more

assail ents. >> stephanie: okay. >> >> caller: and history has shown at some point in our future we will be invaded by another country -- >> stephanie: okay. >> if only we had more guns we could defending ourselves against canada. >> stephanie: yes, right.
