Personally I feel that there is no, zero, natta, need for any sort of attack, military style rifle in the hands of any civilian. Rifles? yes, there are many legitimate reasons for hunters, ranchers, sport target etc. But military style semi automatic attack guns? With 20 or more bullet cartridges? IMHO - no! Doesn't solve the whole issue but let's try starting there.
Again, we're on the same wave length. Starting somewhere is preferable to doing nothing only to wait for the next tragedy and wringing our hands once again.
