   How many LAW ABIDING Americans who own millions of "assault rifles" killed no   
   one this week?   
      
   Besides "assault rifles" are not used as a primary hunting rife by serious   
   hunters. That's not what they are for. Mine will be used to defend my property   
   when society breaks down or ANYONE tries to take them away.   
      
   Blaming guns for murder by an insane person is like blaming the pencil and   
   paper for misspelled words.
