In an interview airing Sunday on NBCs Meet the Press, moderator Chuck Todd asked, Are you in favor of an assault-weapons ban?
I have voted for it, Kaine said. But I think theres a better way to go at the problem and that is limitations on the size of magazines and ammunition clips.
So you think an AR-15 should be sold, Todd asked.You dont think there should be any limitations?
I have voted for it and I would likely vote for it again, Kaine replied, But heres a practical problem that I think youre aware of. As soon as you define what an assault weapon is, you cant sell a weapon and heres how we describe it, gun manufacturers just make one adjustment or two and say see, this isnt subject to the limitation. Whereas if you say you cant sell an ammunition clip or a magazine with more than 10 or 12 rounds
So you believe ammunition is the way to go, Todd asked.
I really think thats probably the way to tackle the problem more effectively, Kaine replied.

The next step will be enormous taxes on ammo. Folks, I have always said as long as these SOB's are breathing, they will never stop, until we are reduced to nothing but slingshots, tire tools, and ball bats!
