The only thing that should be banned are miltary type weapons...assualt rifles, automatic weapons etc.

Automatic weapons are not banned, but no weapons made after (I think) 1986 are legal. No one without special permits can own one and haven't been able to since Prohibition.
I don't know what you define as an assault rifle. Hopefully it's a little more substantive than Congress's attempt to define it...

yeah in general I don't believe in the public being allowed to own and carry M-16s/AK47s/etc
[/ QUOTE ]
Practically, these things (the full auto versions) aren't allowed. How many crimes do you hear that are committed with automatic weapons (assuming you live in the US)? You can own semi-automatic versions, but then there's not much distinguishing an AR-15 from a semi-auto hunting rifle.

so most here believe that college students owning and legally being able to carry handguns to and from class..in their dorms..to frat parties..house parties etc....would be a good thing?
