Why we need to control guns AND people.

Ordinary citizens have no need for military style assault rifles,

Military style assault rifles, by definition, have been regulated since 1934. We're talking about full-auto weapons, which is what the military uses. Takes a $200 tax, filling out federal forms, extensive background checks, etc. The crime rate for these military type rifles is about as close to zero as you can get. The military does not use a semi-auto rifle (like the AR-15) as a general issue rifle. If you want to "control" an item, you need to accurately describe it, what it is, and what it does, or it will be a useless "control". See: 1994 Assault Weapons Ban.
