Maybe its on the table, but its never ever going to pass. If you want an assault weapon because it's fun to shoot, then there is a nut out there that can get an assault weapon too. He'll think its fun to shoot (people). Which is going to cause a bigger problem 300 rounds per minute or 20. I don't deny that guns in peoples hands can deter crime, that isn't the point of this post. The point is that you are afraid all firearms will be taken away. There is no reason to have an assault weapon."Fun to shoot"isn't going to make me feel ok about it. Imagine the crimes that have been committed at Columbine, Virginia Tech, Malls. Imagine if those people had an M16 with 500 rounds. Instead of 10 -15 deaths there would be 50or 60. I know your response of course will be, if people could have had guns on them then they could have shot that sob. Well, maybe, but of course they would have had tobe extremely proficient in using the firearm in order not to harm others. I believe it would potentially be a more dangerous situation.

I'm sorry that you don't feel that I don't have a right to own something which I think is fun but I've earned it! So when you destroy all of your guns(any one of which is capable of killing), never take another drink, smoke a cigar or drive a car again then and only then will you have earned the right to criticize others.
And contrary to what you might think, I don't even own an assault rifle or have a concealled weapons permit. But those are choices that I have made for myself, not by someone else.
