Ok I'm asking this out of an honest need to know what your thoughts are; primarily those who support the assault gun ban.
First question is: what is the difference between a semi-auto pistol, and a semi-auto rifle? Seeing as people are so adamant about banning all assault rifles, I'm wondering what exactly makes one especially dangerous vs a semi-auto pistol (or dual pistols).
Second question: Lets take a quick look at the statistics. Handguns account for 72% (6,220) of all firearm homicides. Rifles account for 3.5% (323). If we're going to be logically consistent, wouldn't we also want to ban handguns?
Lastly: "Why do you need an assault rifle??"? A: because it's nobody's business whether a responsible gun owner wants to fire his/her weapon from the shoulder. B: The erosion of liberty comes incrementally & gradually; once this ban is in place, there will be a mass shooting with pistols, & then they will be banned. C: Selective fire/automatic rifles are already strictly regulated, so this ban will pretty much cover semi-autos.
If you support the ban of semi-auto rifles now, then your children will support the ban of handguns when their time comes.

Do you think we'll see a guy in a mask at a theater with a revolver and a bag of 100 speedloaders?
