In my view - if both types of weapons are equally destructive, why not ban all of them?

The goal is to ban all types of guns, and prevent citizens from having any means of destruction available at all. Of course, the purpose of the Second Amendment is to put the power to destroy a tyrannical government into the hands of the people. (This must be why some politicians are so eager to remove that power, little by little.)

They want the same power over us that Saddam had over the Iraqi people. They were disarmed long ago. And a disarmed man can't object in any meaningful way to having his children dropped into a shredder.
