Police have assault weapons to protect themselves, period! Look at the history. They developed SWAT teams after the devastating experience in LA with those two that illegally modified guns to make them automatic and wore body armor. They have these guns to protect themselves. Why shouldn't any law abiding citizen have the same right?

And guess what, they do not have a duty to protect you. They are only required to protect themselves. SCOTUS decision. I for one am not going to rely on the police who are not in my home 24/7 and only have weapons to protect themselves. I will take care of myself and my family and I have a right to as do you. That you choose to rely on others is entirely up to you. But don't ask me to risk my life to protect you if you don't have the guts or desire to do it yourself. You are on your own.....well, you can always call the police and see how that works out for you.

And no one on the right has claimed politics drove many of those but it is a constant refrain on the left and in the govt media, including lies like they told about the Aurora shooter. But I can tell you that the politics of the five worst mass murderers using guns was progressive/liberal. The point being made in response to the baseless and false aspersions made by leftists about the gun lobby and law abiding citizens that own guns.

On a final note, I do not agree about magazine capacity. There is no reason, zero, zip, nada to prevent a law abiding citizen from owning large clip magazines. I have two 30 clip magazine for my AR-15 and they are no danger to anyone other than someone that makes the huge mistake of breaking into my home.
