Mostly on the same page with you. Handguns are a much bigger problem than assault weapons, which is like legislating short buildings as an attempt to control lightning strikes.

As a sword guy, I find it an amusing insight on gun culture that if I were to walk around our country carrying a sword, I'm a nutjob (I can't argue with that actually) but if I walk around carring a handgun, that's totally sane. Either way you're carrying around something meant to kill other humans, one is just somewhat more efficient.
