Cars kill people. Ban cars? No. Require liability insurance for guns.

No, but liability insurance on guns, like cars, might work out very well. I imagine the liability insurance on a 22 or a hunting rifle would be peanuts compared to the liability insurance on an assault rifle which would probably be prohibitive. Let the free markets decide.

@beaglehunter I guess you didn't look very hard or very far:

from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault_rifle and yes, it mentions sources, such as Encyclopædia Britannica, and the terms are further defined in the related, linked articles.
