And what does this mean 'stay the course". You seem to be arguing now for a ban of all long rifles, shotguns as well as all handguns. That's just impratical and could never be enforced. An assault rifle has no business being in the hands of anyone but a soldier, police officer, or some other fully trained and very closely watched professional.
My definition of "assault rifle" would be how a reasonable person would use it to cover weapons made for SWAT, soldiers, cops, and others threatened by the use of deadly force by criminals, enemy soldiers, and terrorists.

Every Marlin 22 lever rifle built since 1891 has a magazine capacity of between 15 and 19 rounds (depending on barrel length)
as described here. So why did you feel the need to own a weapon with such a high capacity?
By ‘stay the course’ I mean the one laid out by the NRA in their press conference of a week or two ago. A trained ‘good guy’ with a gun in every public school.
Furthermore, it’s annoying to see so many posts referring to ‘assault rifles’ by posters who have decided to make up their own definition. Since the AR-15 looks like the M16 assault rifle, it must be an assault rifle. Well it isn’t. It is a semi-automatic rifle period.
