Personally, I really feel that banning semi-auto military-style rifles, standard and high-capacity magazines will not provide a lasting solution to the problem. Bad guys will simply carry more magazines. This will only serve to destroy the features and capabilities of arms available to lawful people. Background checks, I agree. But I feel that it is the right of law-abiding citizens who pass background checks, psychological tests and maybe even drug tests to own military rifles for home-defense, collecting and recreational purposes. If you are qualified, then there shouldn't be any problem to own a military-style rifle.
