“As Americans, we have a long history with firearms. We also have a government built on compromise, so here is the compromise I propose: Ban assault rifles and handguns for everyone except police and military personnel. These weapons are made to kill humans and should be strictly limited. At the same time, allow responsible citizens to own rifles and shotguns. Rifles are for hunting big-game animals, shotguns are for hunting birds; non-automatic versions of these weapons should be available for those with an interest in hunting or target shooting.” ShouldHumansLongMadeBigsGovernmentGamesInterestAnimalMilitaryCitizensWeaponsBirdBuiltPoliceResponsibleAvailableVersionsCompromiseShootingTargetHuntingAssaultProposeBansRiflesFirearmsPersonnelHandgunsShotgunsMilitary PersonnelTarget ShootingAssault Rifles Author:Nick Symmonds
