Sadly true.

As baffling as it seems to us, I do understand the custom and culture behind the right to bear arms. It is pointless us bemoaning that because it is ingrained in their culture.

What I really don't understand is why the need for assault weapons is such a big issue? I can understand-in theory-why a pistol can protect your family, keep the government at bay, uphold your amendment rights etc. I don't agree with it, but I understand it. I also understand the principle behind hunting rifles and what have you.

Whats baffles me is the assault weapons - why would anyone need them? How can anyone argue in favour of them? I assume the argument is that if the government have them or if criminals have them, then so to should "the good guys?"
