Less than 3.5% of all firearm related crimes are committed with assault weapons, and an even smaller percentage of those are committed with legally obtained weapons. Why don't you ban criminals next? Certainly then you will have no more criminals out there. This is absurdity, and it makes no one even an ounce more safe. It does curtail our freedom and our ability to act as a vanguard against the rise of tyranny. How quickly we forget the lessons of history...
