Firearms are tools. If someone attacks another with a tool, it becomes an assault weapon.
That's why the gun control freaks won't stop at scary black guns. To them every gun is an assault weapon.
They are looking towards the day when all guns are gone from the hands of law abiding citizens. After all, they are the only ones who will obey these stupid laws.
Then only military, LE, and criminals will have guns. Law abiding citizens, along with the gun control freaks will become fodder, caught between the crossfire of these gun-toting entities. We will be at the mercy of robbery, rape, sodomy, mass murder, and corruption from the very people that were supposed to protect us.
At some point, people wouldn't know the difference between criminals, LE, or the government that represents them.
This is coming, no doubt, if we let them.
