To prevent Tyranny is why we have 2nd amendment. I acknowledge the fear media put in people. But in reality what your generation is asking is for people to give up freedom and liberty for so called safety. More people were murdered by knives in 2016 than by guns according to the FBI website. Why are the lives of those vicitims not matter? Per capita we rank number 11 in gun violence. 10 countries with tough gun laws has more gun violence than we do.
Be careful of allowing media to create fear, asking for things you do not fully understand the reprecussions. Stalin, Hilter took the guns and that did not end well.
The 2nd amendment was written to prevent tyranny not for hunting or personal protection, though that right is implied. And you know an AR does not stand for Assult Rifle it stands for armlite rifle and it shoots the same ammo as other rifles. It looks scary because of the stock. A shot gun will do more damage than a bullet from an AR the military uses them because you can survive a shot with one. The Geniva convention and all.
