I don't want to see all guns banned.  I just think my chances of surviving a knife attack are better than surviving a lunatic with an AR-15....

Pardon me, but the AR-15 is chambered in a groundhog caliber and most hunters around here use calibers that would make you deader faster, barring head shots. My father worked for Fairchild Aircraft Corporation and transferred into their Armalite division during the development of the weapon that became the M-16. I believe it was the people who bought the patent (Colt) from Fairchild  who created the civilian AR-15. It has been said that Gene Stoner wouldn't have wanted civilians to buy AR-15s and that would probably be true, but only because he didn't get any royalties. He would have preferred that they would buy the Armalite AR-180 which he did willingly peddle to the masses.

I also I might note that the company hunting trips were almost legendary according to dad. 

Your mind goes to dark places... Don't think that's a convincing argument

Here's another dark place:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Dornier

Christian Dornier (born July 15, 1958) is a French mass murderer, who shot to death his sister and mother and wounded his father with a 12-gauge double-barrelled shotgun at their farm on July 12, 1989. He then drove through the village of Luxiol and the adjacent area, shooting people at random. A total of 15 people were killed and seven others injured in his half-hour rampage, before police managed to subdue him.

It's a case of someone with known issues in France who used a hunting arm to cause mass carnage. I might note that a mortician might make a corpse look pretty with a full metal jacket 5.56 Nato round, but lots of luck with a 12 gauge at point blank range.

Wow. What a better way to prove the argument. A guy killed 15 with only 5 rounds, 7 tops, in the gun before reloading. Now, just imagine how many would have died if he'd had 100 round magazines and a civilian version of a military weapon invented for killing humans efficiently.

A seven shot break open double barreled shotgun? I wants one of dem!
