Chicago, NYC, Buffalo, Minneapolis-St. Paul, etc. Cannot really see a practical reason why any retired person in the Villages, for instance, would need an assault rifle. Local police have them in their vehicles.

I don't own a gun. I have never owned a gun that was mine. I don't ever plan to own a gun. I am however all for freedom and the US Constitution and against a ban on guns. Here is what confuses me with this disscussion. The term "assault weapon" "assault rifle" "shotgun" have been thrown around as if they are different items, In an earlier post you stated something along the lines that a shotgun would be as effective as an assault rifle in a home invasion, thereby implying that owning a shotgun is ok in your book. I don't understand why a shotgun is ok in your book as I'm sure you realize that shoutguns can also be an assault weapon? as can a pistol?
Assault weapon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I think just throwing terms around without a understanding of what they mean just confuses a otherwise well thought out argument(s). I of course disagree with your arguments but I respect you and your passion
