"Don't know where you got that. It's out of left field."

It's a best rough guess, given our abysmal lack of registration, as to how many firearms are owned by how many americans.

"Guns are designed for killing. If you don't think that's true, what else are they for? "

A variety of purposes. I see you have backed away from "Guns are designed to kill people" to just general killing, which I will assume to mean you suddenly accept non-homo sapiens sapiens hunting purposes.

Most of my guns are for the preservation of human life.
A couple are for putting very small holes in pieces of paper.

"I want insurance that covers the true costs of the Precious that Delicate Flowers own. Estimates vary of the societal cost of guns, but it ranges from 30 to 100 billion dollars depending on who you ask."

There were two billion dollars worth of firearms and several billion rounds of ammunition sold in the US last year. I'm not sure why the already workable, and lawful model of an excise tax to raise that money isn't a better idea than the insurance idea? One cent per cartridge? One dollar per cartridge? 50 dollars per gun? 200 dollars per gun. We're just haggling over price here. It can and has been done. Why reinvent the wheel?

An AR-15 is not an assault rifle. Jenoch Jan 2013 #15

Yes, yes. The definition is unclear. MineralMan Jan 2013 #19

No, the definition of what Jenoch Jan 2013 #23

Oh, please. That's your definition. MineralMan Jan 2013 #28

No semantics, just actual definitions. Words have meaning, even if not everyone is aware. Jenoch Jan 2013 #41

That's true. So let's talk about the word "arms." dorkulon Jan 2013 #178

I have never posted anything that Jenoch Jan 2013 #191

Consider "assault rifle" vs "assault weapon" One is codifed (AW) the other is not. nt jmg257 Jan 2013 #74

The reality is that both terms are in wide use, and indiscriminately. MineralMan Jan 2013 #112

The "AR" in "AR-15" either stands for "Assault Rifle" or "ArmaLite Rifle," depending on which of Erose999 Jan 2013 #21

The AR never stood for assault rifle. Jenoch Jan 2013 #26

Still not sure what your obsession with its definition is rbixby Jan 2013 #182

This started with one post and the rest are replies. Jenoch Jan 2013 #195

Name one. AtheistCrusader Jan 2013 #32

AR never stood for Assault Rifle by the inventer. tradecenter Jan 2013 #87

Aside from the standard round and full auto, what's the difference? leveymg Jan 2013 #107

I'm afraid it is. It is not the ammo used that makes it an assault rifle. RC Jan 2013 #135

You're right-not just the ammo, it's the select fire capability. Which current "ARs" dont have. nt jmg257 Jan 2013 #252

Why does the term bother you so much? rbixby Jan 2013 #105

A gun law, or any law, cannot be effective without Jenoch Jan 2013 #114

So what would you describe the AR-15 as then? rbixby Jan 2013 #183

Try this: jmg257 Jan 2013 #256

True. However an assault rifle is not a semi-automatic weapon covered under the expired spin Jan 2013 #280

And that, my friend, is the point tavalon Jan 2013 #342

You, my friend, missed the point, by a fully-automatic mile. Jenoch Jan 2013 #358

could be 40 years ago the hunting pressure was to much for their population to survive. Sunlei Jan 2013 #322

It was mostly consecutive harsh winters Jenoch Jan 2013 #337
