Yep. My husband owns one right now and as I stated he will give it up with no issue if it is for the greater good of saving others lives. If the government decides to reinstate the ban that Clinton had in place from 1994 to 2004, so be it. As far as my opinion, as I stated it is MINE. I don't look to change anyone's thoughts on the subject as nobody will change mine. As someone else said others here have issue with the ones who don't agree with their views and apparently like to keep beating that dead horse. Everyone has a right to their opinion but people shouldn't get smart with people because theirs doesn't reflect yours. This isn't a debate, it has been a lashing to some. There is something called respect.
Your husband is a potential mass murderer? If not I don't see how his giving up his weapon would save others lives. The prior ban on so-called assault rifles didn't require owners of existing weapons to give them up, it banned future sales. I suspect the proposed future ban would also exclude existing weapons so fortunately your husband won't have to give up his weapon. Frankly, if your husband feels as strongly about the threat these weapons represent I don't understand why he bought one to begin with.
If there has been a lack of respect shown in this discussion I think it has been from both sides.
