Assault weapons should be banned. People in the US will be made safer by this law. No one needs one of these weapons. They are used by the Military and by Law Enforcement, and not supposed to be used by civilians. Civilians have no need to use the same guns as Law Enforcement. Why? Would it be fair if a patrol cop has a 12 gauge shotgun, but a bugluar, instead of having a similar gun, has a AK-47 or a AR-15 or a similar gun? Please tell me who would win and why.

I am not for banning all guns, just assault weapons. People can still protect their houses with hunting guns and they do not need to outclass the police/ military in doing so. And, if someone breaks in your house and you use a AK-47, anyone knows that the bullet will most likey pass though the intruder and exit your house and maybe go into another house and kill someone else, while a shotgun shell would not. Do you wish to take that chance?
