I usually stay out of debates like this, but WTF do you even need an assault weapon for anyway? To protect yourself? Yeah, right. A pistol or rifle is just as adequate for that as a semi-automatic. And because, just like that site itself states, you're more likely to be attacked with a crowbar, hammer or baseball bat, in by far most instances pretty much any common household heavy blunt object would suffice.

Call me European, but I find a society where civilians want to own an assault rifle creepy, and a society where civilians think they actually need an assault rifle just to protect themselves scares the living daylights out of me.
