I have no strong view on this issue, but I'm not fully buying the argument that citizens need to be as armed as criminals. It's make perfect sense until you consider the possibility that criminals start using something far beyond AR-15s.

Illegal weapons do get smuggled and make their way out there.

Some day I might need a stockpile of grenades and rocket launchers in my closet.

I'd rather head in the opposite direction where the punishment for possession of something illegal is so severe, even most criminals are reluctant to go down that route. Then the debate is on where to draw the line.

Should it be at semi-automatic weapons, higher, or lower?
