I was talking to my g/f about this subject last night and she pretty much agreed with me:

Regardless, why do I want a gun? So I can shoot you in the face if you try to violate my other human rights.

Reasonable and acceptable. Handguns used for protection purposes should be allowed, with a permit. The lack of proper background checks is solely on the shoulders of the gun sellers and the government.

Why do I want an AR-15? So it's easier to shoot you if you try to take my other guns by force.

Not acceptable. Shooting someone who lawfully attempts to confiscate your guns is, in itself, an illegal act making you one of the unstable people that shouldn't own ANY gun. No reasonable argument has ever been made for assault rifles being carried in a populated area. In your home, OK, fine. But keep them there or in locations meant for hunting.
The world is not all-or-nothing. It required compromise and common sense. This, sadly, seems to be lacking on all fronts (I am in no way placing the blame solely on gun owners OR the government for this debacle)
