I asked for a definition of assault rifle (if you're referring to me, DK). Don't remember anyone arguing that an AR-15 is not a dangerous weapon.
In any case "assault weapons" were already banned for 10 years if folks don't remember. See the features that made a weapon an assault weapon and efforts to show the ban had any effect, one way or another.
Understand that I can mod my Ruger semi-automatic .22 with a bayonet attachment and a pistol grip and it would qualify as an assault weapon. Personally, I have no problem with another "assault" rifle ban. It is mostly about cosmetics, and I am not one that tries to make a weapon look "scary".
Probably people would feel better if they reinstated to ban...

And, Rob, I wish you well on the insurance idea. Nothing more to say after thinking more about though.
