To the editor:

Assault rifles. Let me start by pointing out that the name given to these rifles is appropriate. They are not hunting rifles, target rifles, sporting rifles, or self-defense firearms. They’re sole purpose is to assault or kill human beings. They were originally built and designed for use by military personnel to destroy an enemy. All countries’ militaries have some form of “assault weapon,” some have many different types, and all are for killing humans.
