Red, your headbutting the problem with legislation and yet not seeing the issue... you cannot define what you think you are defining...
1) all guns are “assault weapons”. Is there a gun used in a crime that WASNT an “assault” weapon? Give an example.
2) on your point regarding all private weapons being limited to bolt action rifles, consider the following crime:
a man fires three shotswithin six seconds at a moving target, scoring two hits out of three. He used a bolt action rifle..... and killed the president of the united states.
how would your propsed law have helped? Killing anyone is a crime. That law didnt help. Killing the president is a crime. That law didnt help. Once again you are trying to define things you dont understand so that you feel better and feel like you did something. It dosent work.
