“assault firearms” ..........Every firearm is an assault firearm........I can hit you with it after its empty!...............
Today in 1876, Custer was defeated by a people armed with the then latest firearms on the market. The Tube fed Lever action rifle. Yet after that, no one called for a ban on those rifles for everyone. In fact, in the attempt to ban handguns in 1934 it was said a RIFLE was better for home defense than a handgun. In 1984 they came for the rifles.
LOL!
I have hammers, kitchen utensils, frying pans, glassware, screwdrivers - all can be used to assault someone. Or not. The guns are tools.
And frankly, given the purpose of the second amendment, we should all have as assaulty of assault weapons that we can get. Especially with the rise of communism in our government.
