Did I say that a 'bazzoka' or a 'tank' is okay for protection? I like how you have to resort to making stupid exaggerations in order to try to prove your point.
Home protection is important to some people. The fact that you think its stupid that people should protect their family is exactly why no common ground can be found in terms of gun ownership and gun control. Both sides are sitting on the extremes, and those of us who aren't 'scared' of weapons like those here who have obviously never shot a gun, are lost in the stupid argument between both sides.
Do I want people to own automatic machine guns, tanks, grenades, rocket launchers, etc, etc? I have never said that I did. But I don't think that owning a semi-automatic rifle that shoots the .223 round is 'evil' like you do.
I'm also not naive enough to actually think banning the 'assault' rifle will actually prohibit incidents like this from happening. There is a reason that the people who are screaming gun control right now are refusing to talk about the fact that this gun planning this attack for a LONG time. He was intent on carrying this out, and outside of getting him mental help before he went insane, there is probably nothing that we could have done to stop him.
The guy made 30 softball sized IEDs for frick sakes, and bobby trapped his own home. He then tried to lure people in by intentionally playing loud music. The people living there were only so lucky that nobody set it off before the cops could clear everyone out and disarm it.
