"assault weapons" is their capacity. Wouldn't that be logic for you advocating magazine capacity limits, rather than a blanket ban on "assault weapons"?

So far you've indicated nothing about the firearm specifically that is more dangerous than standard weapons.

Oh, and you're incorrect in your statement that they are "weapons of war". The actual weapons that soldiers use are select-fire, meaning they have burst fire or fully automatic capabilities and they have nothing to do with "assault weapon bans" - they are already heavily restricted.

Civilian versions of AK47's and AR15's do NOT have fully automatic capabilities, they are semi-automatic and are not "machine guns". I know of no army in the world that uses semi-automatic rifles only. Therefore you are wrong, the firearms that are labeled assault weapons are not weapons of war.

Using your logic, we should ban Hummer H2's because they are "tools of war"...
