The police and military own approximately 4 million weapons of varying sorts, while the civilian population owns 310 million. Civilians do not need assault weapons for protection or hunting. Mass shootings stopped by armed civilians have occurred exactly 0 times in 30 years.
Why is this important?
Military type assault weapons were developed for use in a war-time situation. High capacity magazines serve no useful civilian purpose. These weapons and clips are designed to end as many lives as potentially possible.They have no place in our streets or in our schools.
