M1 carbine would not under most definitions today be considered an assault rifle, a battle rifle maybe. Also, are we really arguing that felons should have firearms? Should violent felons have firearms? Should murderers who used a gun? Who should not have a gun, anyone? The supreme Court has rolled that the second amendment is not an absolute right free of restriction, you may not have a rocket launcher, a tank, etc., et al.
Mind you I own a gun, but there are people who I am fine with them not having the right any more. The people who assassinated Mr. X, did they use a blow dart? And what has Obama done till take away guns? Can anyone tell me that? Can anyone give me one thing?
Last item here, you really planning on fighting the government with your gun? I have been seeing the blue angels flying overhead, you ain't gonna win with what you got. And I will never let you get more than you got right now legally because I trust you way less than someone who has at least sworn to uphold the constitution.

Retarded people, that's pretty much it. If every person in the nation were armed, then they wouldn't have to worry as much about who else was armed, would they?

Syria and Afghanistan are pretty well armed.
