“I am a gun rights advocate and firmly support the Second Amendment. I own handguns. I learned to shoot at an early age from my father, who was in law enforcement. I am an infantry combat veteran of the Korean War. I am absolutely opposed to civilians owning any form of assault weapon or multi-round magazine. The only reason for these weapons is to kill people, and they belong in law enforcemement and the military.
My proposal: shooting ranges alone should have these weapons and rent them to people to shoot on the premises.
