but now there is a new wrinkle: the Monterey Park mass-murderer used an "assault PISTOL".
Could someone who gets aroused by the very thought of an assault pistol please tell us what in hell a private citizen needs such a people-killer for? That request boils down to "How stupid do the gun-humpers think the rest of us are?"
Surely, you are not going to tell us you NEED these to "hunt deer". That was the lie you told us about assault RIFLES, complete with endless nonsense about "muzzle velocities" and "three-shot groupings". Anyone who has ever actually hunted knows that if you need a semi-auto with a flash suppressor and a 30 round mag to kill a deer, you damn sure shouldn't be hunting anything.
But, an "assault pistol"?
Go ahead---"educate us".

or law enforcement personal should own one.

Is the above the reason why you haven't banned them? Because you were lied to?
