Kids are something to be concerned about.
I like to think that if I had been in the house the kids may have temporary hearing loss from being in the same house when a 357 magnum is fired.
But it would only be temporary.
As it should be.
That case dealt with the possession of handguns in the home. To be clear, let me state that I am firmly in favor of individual possession of handguns. My favorite is my Ruger Blackhawk .357, but to each his own.

The problem you have is that the Assault Rifle Ban (1994 to 2004) was challenged in court and the SCOTUS rejected all arguments. It was found to be legal.
Since the ban was lifted mass shooting have increased to about twice the level of the pre-ban years.
There are lots of things the Constitution does not limit. That does not mean they cannot be limited.
Purely false! Mass shootings didn’t go up because they lifted the ban lmao.... just preposterous! They didn’t ban any gun to begin with nor stop the sale of AR15’s during this worthless ban.
Try harder with logical facts!!

From 1973 forward, there were 108 mass shootings.
There were 2.71 mass shootings on average during the non ban years and 1.6 mass shootings on average during the ban years.
Since the ban expired, we have had an average of 4.18 mass shootings per year.
It's getting worse.
The way to stop it is to stop selling magazine fed and clip fed semiautomatic weapons to the general public. But forcing people to give up the weapons they now own and have purchased legally is not the way to do it. I don't have the figures, but I would think that mass shootings by long time gun enthusiasts and owners would be extremely rare. Mass shooting are usually (as far as I can see) committed by people who obtained their guns fairly recently.
The hero mom who defended her home fired exactly one shot. There is no mention of what weapon she used.
Agreed. It's for self protection. The founders would have loved to have them back in the day. But all they had were muskets and cannons.
If you need one of these to protect yourself, you must be a horrible shot. I keep a couple of pistols around, one in my shop and one next to my bed, and if I can't hit someone with one of those, they deserve to nail me.
Even Colt sees the handwriting on the wall and is going to cease selling AR-15 to CIVILIANS :
The days of the shootout at the OK coral are over, LHC, time to hang up your six shooters and join a more civilized society. This madness of everyone being armed to the teeth and packing heat no matter where they go is beyond bizarre.
