I don't think it's a bad thing.

I think it is more of a step in the wrong direction if anything. I don't think it would be the end of the world if they are banned, but I just think there are much better solutions to the problem.

You are still a terrorist Humerox.

Originally the Due process clause in the 14th amendment only applied to the government around the early 1900s, it was extended to private contracts and has progressively moved to protecting individual from any entities.

From it: "[w]ithout doubt...denotes not merely freedom from bodily restraint but also the right of the individual to contract, to engage in any of the common occupations of life, to acquire useful knowledge, to marry, establish a home and bring up children, to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience, and generally to enjoy those privileges long recognized at common law as essential to the orderly pursuit of happiness by free men."

Grrrr..... hit enter too soon. The quote was in reference to Meyer v. Nebraska (1923) where the Court added "liberty" to the Due Process Clause.

Regardless how I feel, you will have to understand that the assault rifle ban will be met with very heavy resistance and if you truly believe in democracy then you need to give up on that stance and try to put stronger regulation on such weapons.

I've already stated I'd be happy with a strict system over an outright ban...

Photo Id's
Yearly Registration and Fees
Insurance Requirement
Storage Requirements
Firearms Safety Course
Improved Federal Background Checks
Ammunition Legislation
Clean Police Record Requirement

just a few things to start off with....

Then why do you fruitlessly try to argue for a ban?

"Fruitlessly" remains to be seen.

You have yet to make a strong case for it despite splurging all over these forums so fruitlessly is the best word to describe your stance in my opinion.
