Ban sale and/or manufacture of semi-automatic assault weapons

OPPOSE

"Americans ought to be allowed to have anything they want to have, as long as they're law abiding, legal citizens. The 2nd Amendment was not there for hunting. I get so offended when Democrats talk about it as if you don't need an assault weapon to hunt. Well truthfully, most Democrats wouldn't know an assault weapon from a BB gun. I'm a hunter; I have been my whole life. But the 2nd Amendment is not just about hunting. It's about protecting your family, your property, and it's honestly about defending ourselves against a tyrannical government, should it ever go haywire on us".

From his book From Hope to Higher Ground, by Mike Huckabee, p.126-127 (2007)
