Here is one of many problems--and in my view the MOST DANGEROUS problem--with the liberal position of banning "assault weapons" after the Orlando shooting:
Guns are tools, and nothing more. They can be tools used for good or tools used for evil. The same can be said of any tool. A hammer is a tool designed to hit things. It can hit a nail (a good use) or a person's head (an evil use). A box cutter is a tool. It can cut boxes apart (a good use), or cut a person (an evil use). A gun is a tool. It can shoot targets or game animals or violent criminals (a good use) or an innocent person (an evil use).
