Done, although your thinking is in error in relation to so-called "assault weapons". Let me put it this way: If George Washington were alive today, do you think he would want his citizen's militia (all males between 17 and 42 years of age) to be armed with muskets, or AR-15s?

I am ex-military. What's that worth? I never saw any halo above my head, then or now.

Well, first off I don't think Washington ever envisioned guns of the sort we have today. Second, I agree that our military should have possession of AR-15s, I just believe that they are not for the general public.

BTW... thank you so very much for your service to our country and the others in need.
