I have two rifles. I think maybe that is not clear. If you re-read the posts we will see that it is handguns that I am concerned with. I don't think I have given the impression that rifles whose primary use is for hunting game has ever been my concern. And if you look at the FBI stats you see that only 3% of gunrelated killings involved a rifle.
There is no point that I can see in abusing a priveledge; that includes the priviledge to direct how other citizens behave. I believe that as a citizen I have the right to be as safe from anothers behaviour as a reasonable person would expect. I don't see where I should have any right to dictate to anyone an unreasonable restriction.
So; rifles have a purpose, they are easily sighted, hard to conceal. They don't work well up close where the bad guys live. I would think that it is fair for people to own them.
The second amendment is not to be taken lightly. A rifle like the rifles our forbears owned fits the description in my eyes of arms as stated in the Constitution. You have to draw a line I know you believe that. People can't walk around with any weapon on earth just because the colonists wrote that into the rules; it has also to be considered a reasonable interpretation.
The people who group together to fight any ban on any weapon are just shortsighted or worse.
