Assault rifles should only be used by military personnel and law enforcement. You do not need an AR-15 to defend your house. I've been in close-quarters combat first hand and the shotgun is actually the 2nd weapon of choice for Marines in CQC (m4 being the 1st choice of course). So I assure you that you can defend your house from a lowly robber trying to steal something from you. Probably not worth killing someone over a robbery in the first place. And if you are still too paranoid, you can still own a pistol. Although I wouldn't recommend having a pistol in the house if you have kids, they're just too easy to be handling and accidentally hurt or kill someone. Lastly, yes I am a strong Conservative and I have been hunting and fishing since I was 5 years old. So please don't come back at me like I am some kind of "hippie/liberal." I am just disgusted at the fact that anyone thinks that they need an assault rifle and that America is going to go to fall apart if we ban the purchase of assault rifles. And let me just answer this question right now before someone asks, yes of course we all realize that this won't take all the assault weapons off the streets (do you think that we are stupid?). But if we stop the new purchase now, maybe a couple hundred years from now there will be very few still left in circulation.

being a former marine you think you would know the difference between a assault weapon and a assault rifle. with that last sentence, you being new to this forum and your first post about gun bans im willing to bet you are just another lousy liberal.
