I come from a hunting family. No hunter needs an assault weapon. There are perhaps some parts of the country that are very hunting-oriented, but that's not a problem at all.

We can enact federal: assault-weapons ban, weapons-modification ban, rigorous background check, red-flag law and gun fair sale restrictions... without gutting the 2nd amendment.

And if we built walls at the southern border (which costs an absolute fortune, which is why it's never been done in its entirety), and funded control and management of check-points, we'd have fewer drugs and weapons coming. I know the southern border isn't the only point of entry.

We also need to FUND and TRAIN police and sheriff forces across the country, for God's sakes, so that they arrest more criminals and confiscate more guns from them. For God's sakes.

Agree.  Came from a hunting and military family.  My dad put in 21 years active duty as an NCO and among other things he served as a marksmanship instructor and was part of a competitive shooting team in the military.   And while we do have a number of rifles and pistols he DOES NOT own an AR-15, and thinks it's stupid for civilians to own them.  In fact he doesn't even think civilians should have semi-auto rifles.  We use bolt-action rifles for hunting.  And even with those he doesn't think civilians need military bolt-action rifles, years back a friend of mine gave me an Enfield and he raised an eyebrow, "what the hell are you going to do with that thing?"

Yet now we have to deal with a country full of dopey nutcase Meal Team Six operators who want AR-15s.[/quote]
