"Worth repeating: "Indeed, this is the intended consequence of assault rifles. They are designed to be weapons of war." Tell me again why civilians need weapons of war? Why are these lethal weapons -- whose only designed purpose is to kill and maim other humans -- allowed on our streets?"

I support the right of civilians to own guns. I DO NOT support the right of civilians to be able to own assault weapons in any shape, form or fashion. They are created for one purpose only: to kill human beings in the most gruesome and destructive manners possible.
