42. I am one of those rural people

I have guns and I hunt, but I don't think anyone in their right mind needs an assault rifle, period. I am all for banning them for civilian use. No matter what anyone says, you don't need an assault rifle to hunt deer, or any other game. I have to go along with O'Malley on this. Bernie is right, it's not the ONLY way to stop gun violence, but it's a damned good start if you ask me.
