I wonder how much is from seeing the injuries these weapons can cause at close hand. You have a perspective many of us dont have.

Rockhound, if I'm not mistaken, we're finding some common ground here, on what I think is a serious issue.
I've been opposed to private ownership of assault weapons (and things like armor piercing bullets) since before I was in the service. Maybe my time in, and my knowledge of what these things do up close, has solidified my opinion, but not by much. There were 2 occasions when I was awfully glad I had my weapons with me, so I do believe they have their place. But not in the hands of any private citizen.
