As I see it there are 3 schools of thought in the firearms debate.
1) Ban All Weapons -- A silly school of thought. Some people in very rural areas DO still use them for protection. Additionally you will never remove them all from circulation.
2) Allow Any Weapon -- Another silly school of thought. I don't think anyone would be comfortable with a rich oil baron buying a suitcase nuke and having it protected by the 2nd Amendment.
3) Draw a line somewhere on weapons -- The rational school of thought and where 99% of us are. But the question is how we draw this line. My argument would be the following:
(A) Projectile explosives are unnecessary and should be banned.
(B) Certain weapons, such as assault weapons, should be classified "for military and police use only". This should be defined by how many rounds can be fired in a given time period.
