Syria just had a gas station bombed with hundreds killed. Somehow I don't think more assault rifles are helping them in any way. This is third-world country with third-rate military.

The main reason why this won't happen in US is because military would refuse to do the same, not because some NRA whackjob has 10 assault rifles in his gun closet that he carcasses every evening to get off.

As much as you like to pretend otherwise, but marching lines of redcoats are not the kinds of threat we have to worry about these days.

Firearms will not provide populace with a military potential and have not done so since WW1 era.
