Lots of folks sure do think they know what I need. I'll be the judge of that, thanks. I don't need big brother or anyone else to tell me.

When what you claim to 'need' can easily kill someone with little to no training and, also, can easily kill someone not even related tot he incident at hand (AKA 'innocent bystander') then yes, Big Brother SHOULD have a say in the matter.

How many people have been killed in driveby shootings, mall-type killings, etc?
How many people have been killed by accidental shootings?
How many of those killings were by handguns?
How many people were killed killed in driveby knifings, mall-type knifings, etc?
How many people were killed by accidental stabbings?

This isn't even a numbers issue, it's a common sense issue. Guns should be allowed, but allowed in residences only. Handguns should be permitted, but with full registration and a legitimate reason. There is no legitimate for assault rifles to be carried outside a home, and the ONLY reason I'm willing to accept assault ownership AT ALL is because I'm a realist and understand that in a worst-case scenario, they may be needed to defend citizens from a corrupt government (or zombies, always think of the zombies).
