We have had many discussions here on Guns.
We haven't resolved anything.
I can only state my preferences. And they might not be popular.
I am a gun owner.
Prohibitions don't work, regulation does.
I have never owned, nor would in the future own an "assault" type rifle.
Or any weapon chambered in 5.56 NATO.
They are just not that useful, except for active combat.
Stonekettle has some words.

Full Discloser:
I own 3 weapons. The best I could buy, at the time. and have become proficient in their use. Training often.
A DP-12. (shotgun)
Barrett MRAD in .338 Lapua. (long rifle)
And a Walther PPK/S. (light duty handgun)
btw: this is not an invitation for debate, just a statement.
