A recent post of mine here on gun control seems to have engendered some push back about the banning of assault riffles... [View all]

......as opposed to limiting who may own one.
This is an interesting debate in as much as it opens the conversation as to buys AR-15 and why they do so. Much like my proselytizing about the concealed carry of handguns - that all guns should be worn out in the open, if you have the right to be armed, I have the right to know of the danger you present to me - I feel that all assault style weapons should be, by their basic nature, considered more dangerous to the public. And that there should be a mandate that they be finished in "day-glow" pink. This to, again, give the general public advance warning of this danger in their presence. Such a mandate might also cut the sales of such weapons dramatically, particularly among the Kyle Rittenhouse Brigade of military cos-play morons.
