Do Not Ban "Assault Weapons" they are just as protected as the right to Free Speach.

I want to have the Firearm Community heard, we are not criminals and stripping our right to own and use firearms will not lower crime but in fact increase it. In London you are 6 times more likely to be mugged than New York City, But anywhere with a large population of Armed Citizens you are at least 10 times LESS likey to be mugged than anywhere on the planet. "Assault Weapons" are firearms, thus covered by the 2nd Ammendment.
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms, disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." Thomas Jefferson
