First thing. Automatic assault rifles are not available to anyone. They are illegal in the United States. It's possible to modify rifles to make them automatic. That is illegal though.
His other points about getting guns easily at trade shows needs to change, I do agree with that.
His idea of banning guns comparing to seat belts is goofy. The guns don't disappear... Criminals will EASILY get them. The idea is to keep the guns in the hands of the innocent for defense against the criminals.
He noted that 6 of the 10 worst shootings happened in recent years. He must have missed that they all happened in areas where weapons of any type are banned. Someone must have forgotten to tell the shooter that weapons were banned though, otherwise, surely he would have left his guns at the entrance.
That video is quite honestly a perfect example of the ignorance of people that insist on gun control.
I can almost guarantee that it will not happen for other reasons though. Money. There is WAY too much money in the weapons industry for them to be banned in America. Money talks.
I do agree that guns are dangerous and made for killing.
Cars are made for getting to and from places. However, people like me use them purely for enjoyment: racing. Guns can be used in the same way, target shooting at a range. I have only ever shot a gun at a target range. The first gun I shot was an AR-15. It was fun. I've never even wanted to go hunting however. Guns can be owned purely for target shooting. And many people use them for just that.
The funny thing is, every time Obama and guns come up, prices double. If Obama keeps up this talk, gun and ammunition manufacturer's profits will be so high, there will be even less of a chance of a ban, lol. The day after Obama's reelection, every store in my town was sold out of ammunition. And I live in the UP, the only thing sold more than Ammunition is Pasty's. They were well stocked, especially since it was close to opening weekend. Which is practically a bigger holiday than Christmas, New Years, and Thanksgiving combined up here.
People say the same things about sports cars (unnecessary).

The idea of public owning military automatic weapons and concealed handguns should be outlawed.
It has been mentioned here on this forum people prepared to pull out a gun to protect themselves at the slightest intimidation against them, how sad you live in a violent society having to resort to this behavior.
You do have a Police Force to deal with criminals
This is how the rest of the world views America, a gun happy culture plagued with shootings.
Your government has to deal with this problem and set an agenda to keep every one happy and bring down the number of firearm deaths and you the public should embrace changes that is fair for all to accept.
No one is advocating total disarmament of the population, certain categories of weapons should not be in the hands of civilians as there is no legitimate purpose.
