"Some people find it fun to go to the shooting range with a high powered gun and see what firing one is all about. Other folks enjoy collecting weapons of all kinds. I'm largely not in favor of banning assault weapons because I don't believe it will have that great of effect, except on those who aren't causing any trouble with them. Look at the "war on drugs". It's really the same thing. People die from OD'ing on heroin and cocaine all the time, and they're illegal -- they still manage to be bought and sold. Point is, if people want something bad enough, they'll find a way to get it."
That doesn't sound like a very good idea...
