Guns don't Kill People, GUN OWNERS KILL PEOPLE!

30. I don't know the formal definition of "assault rifle".

But I do believe that any weapon that is capable of shooting rapid fire has no place in civilian hands. The high capacity magazines
should be banned on all weapons for civilian use. Also on my list: any weapon (rifle, etc) that can be folded or diminished in size to escape detection; handles that make it easier to shoot from the hip or with one hand, silencers. I'm sure there's more...


Oh, but wait....then only the bad guys will have these weapons. Maybe...but we can still own handguns, firearms for sport and hunting....plenty of fire power (if a person knows how to use the weapons) to "fight back" those bad guys with the banned weapons if need be.
2nd amendments rights are protected.....we can buy weapons......but we shouldn't be able to buy military grade weapons or attachments for those weapons or anything that is specifically used for warfare by the military.

And, you know what.......generations down the road, people won't even care....because they will own their guns, if they want and they will understand that military style weapons in the hands of civilians is not part of our collective national identity.

Just my opinion....but a strong one.....
