16. We're picking

We're picking the wrong hill to fight this fight on. We somehow need to fight the stereotype for banning assault type weapons is not disarming the private citizens. Face it, there's too many of them in circulation right now, why not restrict where they can be carried. The Supreme Court says people have the right to carry, restrict open carry to hand guns. You want a pistol with ammunition capacity greater than 10 rounds, cool, you can carry a. 22mag. 20 rounds should be enough for any self defense situation people find themselves in away from home. Traditional Hunting rifles, no problem. If somebody wants to be foolish enough to carry it in a vehicle without a case, figure the only thing he's going to mess up is his sights. Assault type weapons and high capacity ,high caliber pistols need to be restricted to "home "defense or carried locked in their case when in transit. And the public wearing of body armor is restricted to law enforcement officers.
