I just don't get it. Particularly when it comes to assault rifles. What use do these types of weapons have other than to kill more people quicker. Yet the defenders of the 2nd amendment will not contemplate banning these.

In general if you take guns out of the equation, the murder rate goes right down. Is American society so much more violent than other developed nations that a majority of its citizens require guns for self protection?
