I've changed my view since this current debate started. I was opposed to the tyrannical government argument. Now that I have read more and researched, I am almost convinced that the "assault" rifles are being targeted for being a threat to government rather than, being a threat to the public. The AR is so prolific and commonplace but seldom used in crimes.
