It's entirely possible the Crypts and the Bloods are going to invade your home because they saw you buy a coffee a Starbucks and figured anyone with the disposable income to pay that much for coffee should be robbed.

It's possible the apocalypse will happen tomorrow and you'll have to play Mad Max .

Look...I understand your argument but the foundation is weak. If you really need something like this:

to feel safe I really feel sorry for ya. I'd move if I were you.

Besides, the next mass murder by an assault-style weapon can be prevented. But it probably won't be because people like to have AK's instead of reasonable firearms and if it ever comes time to use them 50% of the owners will probably shoot their own damn selves because they're idiots.

Self-defense was only part of my post. I'm a law-obiding, responsible, gun owner who has firearms for both self-defense and recreation. I don't own an AK-style rifle, but I do own AR-type rifles and they are a lot of fun to shoot. The flexible platform allows for various configurations to be had with shared parts/easy maintenance. That being said, if I'm in my home I'm grabbing my shotgun (1st choice by far) or AR (distant second choice simply due to much higher chance of over penetration) before my handguns are touched because they are far better options for defense. My handguns are for the range and for carry.

I would love to believe that murder or mass murder could be so simply prevented, but I simply don't believe that's the case. As for the "reasonable firearms" comment... you have your definition of "reasonable" and I have mine. There's a wide spectrum of what people believe is "reasonable", and any discussion involving it is bound to lead to some slippery slope or another so I'll simply leave it be.
