Hypothetical For Gun Rights Advocates

[Lek]

I would reluctantly hand over my "assault" weapons because I'm a law-abiding citizen.  The thing is that most murders and killings are done with hand guns, not "assault" weapons, so if we want to stop killing with guns we should ban hand guns.  In keeping with the intent of second amendment, I wouldn't have much of a chance defending myself from an overreaching government, armed with everything imaginable with a pistol.  It wouldn't work well against defending myself against criminals armed with automatic weapons as well.
