Those big shiny assault weapons that shoot the high capacity clips; no one fucking NEEDS them for home defense, and when the gun fondler fetish folks get honest, they blabber on about how good they "feel" when they shoot lots of bullets out of the thing, or they start getting all tinfoil about "armed revolt against teh government", that sort of shit.
To argue that someone is going to hold off a home invasion with an AR-15 that can't be reasonably prevented with a different sort of gun, as this woman did-- well, in theory the situation might arise, but it's not damn likely enough to justify (Except in the minds of the DONT TAKES MY PRECIOUS crowd) continued easy access to the same sort of shit Lanza used in that school.
