Virtually no one is for "an outright ban on firearms".
What a total red herring.
This. People are asking for reasonable discussion on weapons better suited for a battlefield.
See McChrystal's remarks that rj noted earlier...that guy has seen all manner of warfare and is a military hard-head. If that guy has an opinion then it carries more weight than us average joe's.
I mean really, what is a person gonna do, stand on a hill-side with their entourage and match the oncoming M60's with an "arsenal" of rifles?"

I'm convinced that the people that are extremely anti-gun in almost every conceivable/rational circumstance have:
1) Never been confronted with a real life threatening situation where a personal firearm would have either helped protect them or deescalated the situation
2) Very little knowledge about guns and have probably never used one in a formal or informal setting
A lot of gun nuts really believe they can band together with other gun nuts a la Pat Swayze and C Thomas Howell in Red Dawn and paint each other up and hide and plant booby traps and wear down a superior fighting force.
I spent over an hour with Veronique; she talked me through her experience on December 14 and the days that followed. Her story was filled with moving and harrowing details: her dream of wandering an abandoned building calling out for Noah, her meeting with President Obama at a vigil at the local high school and her decision to get a tattoo of angel wings and Noah’s name the day after his death. The details that stuck with me the most — and the details which I felt most conflicted about putting in print — were Veronique’s descriptions of the damage to her son’s body. He was shot 11 times; she told me that his jaw and his left hand were mostly gone.
There were certain things Veronique wanted for Noah’s funeral. She felt that his body had suffered too many indignities already; she was adamant that he not be autopsied. She wanted him to be buried with a Jewish prayer shawl and with a clear stone with a white angel inside — an “angel stone” — in each of his hands. Veronique was only able to put the stone in his right hand because the left was “not altogether there,” she told me, crying for the first time in our interview. She asked the funeral director to put the other one in the left hand spot. “I made him promise and he did.”
Veronique told me that Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy visited her in the funeral home, and she brought him to see Noah’s open casket. I asked her why it was important for her and for the governor to see Noah’s body. “I needed it to have a face for him,” she said. “If there is ever a piece of legislation that comes across his desk, I needed it to be real for him.”
0 for 2. And I'm coming for yerr guns!
For at least 4 generations and probably further back w/ research, my family has owned guns and never had an accident or had one stolen or committed a crime.
Pretty sure people can be responsible with guns.

As a species, humans can't be responsible 100% of the time with anything. Your logic leads to a conclusion we should ban automobiles, bunson burners, skydiving, or anything else inherently dangerous.
One of the most notorious Nazis was Josef Mengele. He had a particular fascination with 'experimenting' on Jewish children - especially twins.
He would separate twins into different buildings. Then he would slowly, slowly torture one twin, the other twin would be monitored for signs of distress, to see if they picked up on their sibling's pain by 'telepathy'.
AND YOU WANT TO BAN MY ASSAULT RIFLE.........
WHEN HELL FREEZES OVER !
