An "Assault Weapon" is NOT - A bad or evil thing. As a benchmark for comparison, consider how many full auto or select fire weapons are in the hands of our military, people who have been trained in the art of making war, who have the skills necessary to kill in large numbers in a short amount of time. They carry these various full auto and select fire (and even more destructive things) on a daily basis, in a war zone where the next person you meet might well be interested in killing you. However you do not as a rule see our military folks going out and intentionally attacking a school, or whatever with the intent of slaughtering innocents. There have been a few instances but by and large it doesn't happen. Why. Could it be the person holding/using the various weapons that are the responsible part of the equation not the weapon itself.
