Any rifle is an assault rifle if used to commit assault. a rifle is a rifle and very damned few of them have a range of a mile. When the founding Fathers wrote the Constitution the Second Amendment was included as a way for free people to preserve that freedom from oppressive Government forces, foreign or domestic.

I have a cast-iron assault skillet, and a chef's knife, which one do they want to take away first?

Where are the like buttons.
There are at least, AT LEAST, 90 million guns in the United States, There are millions of gun owners. What is the percentage of gun owners who go on mass murder shooting sprees? The number is miniscule.

Trickster, what is the maximum effective range of 5.56 x45mm 55 grain full metal jacket ammunition? It isn't a mile. In fact common hunting rifle calibers like the 30-06, 308 and 270 have a much longer range. Please educate yourself before commenting.

As far as I'm concerned Gun Control is buying one firearm when you want to buy two.

FYI 67% of all homicides in the U.S. were committed using a firearm. 64% of all gun-related deaths in the U.S. were suicides. 358 murders were reported involving a rifle while 6,009 were reported involving a handgun; another 1,939 were reported with an unspecified type of firearm.Yet In 2016, 10,497 people died in drunk driving crashes – one every 50 minutes – and 290,000 were injured in drunk driving crashes Each day, people drive drunk more than 300,000 times, but only about 3200 are arrested

There were approximately 358 people shot and killed with rifles (includes shotguns) of any kind. There were 1,604 people killed with “knives or cutting instruments and roughly 656 people were beaten to death with “hands, fists, feet, etc. In Japan where guns have been banned, a 26-year-old broke through a window of a facility for the disabled in Sagamihara and went on a stabbing rampage that killed 19 of the 150 patients in the facility, wounding 25 others.

0 (ZERO) gun control...anybody in favor of gun control is un-American as well as extremely ignorant. I can only hope that you will be in a position of needing a firearm in order to protect themselves and/or themselves...and they, then get their just desserts of gun control!
