“whether or not average Americans should be able to own assault weapons.”

Pray tell, what is an assault weapon? What makes them so much more lethal than a common 30/06 hunting rifle with a scope? Which one would you rather face?

I’d rather face an assault weapon (tanks,ect...) , than a 30.06 with a scope.

Absolutely, true "assault weapons" are made to hurt REALLY bad, but optimally not kill. A wounded enemy takes 2 or 3 out of the fight, a dead one just takes one.
