This conversation started with an assault on a woman in the US...not in
Rwanda. You need to try staying with the actual conversation instead of
hijacking it. Pictures? Seen them and live them. I live in a third
world country that has a major violence problem, an overabundance of
automatic and semiautomatic weapons and is a receiving point for Mara
Salvatruchas deported from the US. You do know who the Maras are don't
you? You do know about the December bus massacre of women and children?
the barbershop massacre a few days after that? the several hijackings
of private vehicles in the weeks after the barbershop?

Why do you think I'm so paranoid that I need to defend myself? However,
should the need arise, the appropriate technology is readily available.

Lousy definition. A well placed round from a .45 caliber pistol or a
..357 magnum pistol will take out a car also. Those could hardly be
classified as assault rifles. Come back and talk when you actually KNOW
what an assault rifle is.
