Does anyone truly believe the military-grade weapons, with high capacity magazines, are actually needed in every home? Or any home?
The police certainly don’t. Would they like to respond to an emergency and be outgunned?
People need to stop listening to political diatribes from the National Rifle Association.
We need to replace the assault rifle ban, or the next generation will do it for us. They may well go with a much stricter law.
If we don’t act now, when needed, we may well lose our Second Amendment rights, or have it legislated that only an organized militia can carry.
Which is as the law was actually intended.
