“But none of us wants to own an assault weapon, because we have no desire to kill policemen or go to a school or workplace to see how many victims we can accumulate before we are finally shot or take our own lives.”

I certainly have no desire to conduct any of those activities either. Why do you ascribe those aberrant behaviors to assault weapon ownership? Perhaps it is you and those views about gun ownership that is aberrant.

And, as I recall, each of the recent horrible shootings took place with the guns you indicate YOU own. No assault weapons unless you count the look-a-likes used by the felon who was banned from owning a gun in Calif.
