I absolutely adore our President... (Ban the Ban on Assalt Rifles)

I absolutely adore our President, President Barack Obama. Let me be perfectly clear. I support all of his executive orders and legislative proposals concerning gun legislation, except a full ban of any kind. I know many do not agree or understand, but I still think there is a great gulf that divides the way pro law enforcement and military minded people think, and the average civilian. This is not to say all civillians or any one that disagrees with me is not supportive of law enforcement or God forbid our military, only that we see things differently. If you say I am responsible to keep a weapon, why not any gun as long as I can prove good care and responsibility and demonstrate an ability to use it. I say this especially because of the Second Amendment. It seems the guns some want to take, are the ones that best support the Second Amendment and its intent. I have written a blog, It Ain't About Duck Hunting Folks! And with that said, I am not against any bill that categorizes and clearly defines what a military assault-style weapon is (most rifles can be easily converted to what some call military-stlye anyway, so??), and also have the highest possible standard for possession, including regular renewals, and mandatory storage laws. But to flat out ban these weapons, I do not see as right. Watch this short piece below. I'm with our President on every point but the ban. There should be high standards for "assault" weapons. Plus, they should be clearly defined. I would not be who I am if I did not say. It is the intent of the Second Amendment and not any personal desire that moves me. I, like our President, love the basics and foundations. Without it, all else can eventually fall. I stand with you. Congrats Mr. President. You will set a new standard for incumbents in this era. This will be the greatest four years ever for both you and America. God Bless. Yulanda K. PS. This is pure dissent through reason, and I believe common ground.
Part 2 The #2nd Amendment is a preventative measure. If no civilian ever uses a weapon based on it, we still should maintain the right. If we never again use our military because of a civilized new world of great peace arises, should or would we disarm and disband our military? God forbid. I just don't think any full across the board ban is right. Get the "armor piercing" ammo and weapons out of gang and mob hands. The founders of this country were genious. It is not enough just to know the Constitution, we have to know the why behind each jot and tittle. I am reasonable. I am with the White House on every other Executive Order and Gun Regulation Proposal, except the ban. And it is pure dissent based on knowledge of the intent behind the Second Amendment only.
