Roll Eyes to the Yes to legalization of assault weapons.

Considering that they currently are legal in the US and a bunch of other countries like Switzerland and Finland, what it so ridiculous about that? You can disagree with it but I don't see how it warrants the eye rolling.

Well, if that's effectively war weapons of the kind of AK-47 or stuffs like that, which I assumed, well all what is stronger than an hand-gun or an hunting riffle, I keep my eye rolling, no matter if it is legal elsewhere, it would express the way in which I express my disagreement.

Well, I support a ban of firearms in the civilian society as a general principle (except a few exceptions like maybe hunting and security purposes for pragmatic issues) then an eye rolling is appropriate for me here.

The eye rolling goes for explosives too, those should be delivered under authorization for precise known purposes.

     Assault weapons is a silly, arbitrary criterion to ban weapons with certain features that are no more dangerous than similar weapons that lack those features. Assault weapons are legal in the United States, but assault rifles, which include the war weapons you refer to, are still illegal. Someone, I think dead0man, made an edifying post a while back on the silliness of banning assault weapons. I might look for it again.
