My question to you would be, where do the regulations stop? You suggest that we regulate a weapon that is no more than a gun that is dressed up to look like a military weapon although it functions no different than any .22 semi-auto. People are taking issue with “assault” rifles because they LOOK mean. To me, its no different than taking issue with a person because they LOOK suspicious or like a thug because of the way they dress. Things are not always what they seem to be. You should educate yourself in history and where the road of regulation leads. You can be regulated right out of your basic civil rights. ALL of them.
