Oh and Gekko,

How do you do that if you can’t get a gun?

Well, as I've already said, I'm not against owning or using guns for self defence. My point is that gun laws should be more strict, and that certain types of firearms are too great of a danger to be owned or stockpiled by civillians. My argument was that keeping these types of weapons is a "first step," if you will, towards getting the guns off the streets entirely.

Oh, and as to hunting with an assault rifle: I don't have the quote available to me here, but I'll dig it up when I get home (To be honest, I will admit I can't state that it's a law all throughout the states). As for it being stupid,

Bone said "A single shot from a weapon classified as an assault rifle could function just as well as a typical hunting rifle. The AK-47 delivers accurately at approximately 300 yards, IIRC. A single shot can kill a deer at range, and there would be plenty left, about as much as would be left after using a typical hunting rifle I'd gather. Stupidity?"

So... you're using the assault rifle as a single shot rifle... so, not as an automatic assault rifle... so, why would you take an assault rifle in this situation, rather than a hunting rifle?

The only situations people have given where an assault rifle is any more usefel than say a handgun or rifle are situations that would be dangerous no matter what weapons you have access to. The real problem is what happens when those crazed crowds get ahold of the same assault rifles people say are so neccessary for their own defence?
