You will notice the news mechine likes to drag out voices with some qualifications like....former NRA member in good standing, war vets, former this and that, ect ect.....they use them for sound bites to support, by using these terms like "street", to mean "home" and suggest that not only do assult weapon owners not need these guns but that they are irresponsible for having them......ahhh out on the "street" (which means home in news speak) as well.
I say again.....99.9999999% of all assault weapons are in homes.

Absolutely…and more importantly, 99.9999999% will REMAIN in our homes and OFF the streets. These situations are intentionally politicized and should be seen as nothing more.

Same with anything illegal. Prescription pills should be for prescription only but millions abuse them and they end up in the "street"
"Street" being a term for -dirty, transient or unlawful how the media uses it.
Almost everything "legal" can end up "on the street" becoming illegal.

Thank you for bringing that out. The "street" implies illegally held and a direct danger to the public. Firearms are private property.

Well 100% of them would be in homes, I do not imagine many homeless people have assualt weapons. Of course crazy that shoot places up also all live in homes. So 100% of crazy people and assualt weapons are in homes. I do not see how that will make anybody sleep better at night.

You're thinking of assault rifles. Assault weapons is a manufactured phrase meant to make people envision machine guns, when the reality is assault weapons can be pistols or shotguns.
