Are certain weapons too destructive and powerful for the general public to own?

Depends on what you mean "certain weapons too destructive and powerful for the general public to own". If you mean MSR's which include semi-auto AR15 sty7le rifles then "NO" as they are less powerful and deadly than many pistols, rifle and shotguns used for hunting. AR15's are not assault rifles as they are not full auto rifles they are like semi auto shotguns, rifles and pistols. If you are stating things like tanks, fully armed attack aircraft, missiles and weapons that can disperse toxic gasses, chemical and bio-hazards..........then yes those should not be allowed in the general public.

People can make very deadly explosives and bio-weapons at home that will kill many more people and more effectively than any rifle or pistol. A semi-auto hunting style shotgun loaded with buck shot will kill many more people in close quarters than any AR15, pistol or rifle.[/i][/b]
