IMO no one needs an assault weapon unless they plan on using it for its purpose, which is to kill quickly and efficiently.

So then we could make a law that says guns are banned unless you qualify by income standards to utilize it as your food source. And "civil unions" can certainly cover the benefits/tax purposes stuff.
I'm just saying our rights are not limited by what we need to live. That's a very restrictive view of rights and is pretty contrary to where we've gone in any other area involving rights besides the 2nd amendment.
