Let's look at this from a psychological standpoint. Read this:

Some of you may remember that I posted this a while back, but I believe that it applies to this discussion.
Kerry is a war hero
In no way is John Kerry a "hero" of any kind. He did nothing "heroic".
THIS Kerrey can be called a hero:

Exactly why do you need thirteen semi-auto rifles?
Ever hear of a hobby? Say, coin collecting, or stamp collecting? There is no real reason why people NEED to have collections of hundreds of rare coins or stamps. But they do. Because they want to.
Who are you to deprive them of their right to do whatever they damn well please, as long as they do not interfer with the rights of another?
The right to bare arms is rooted in the revolution, when any man could be called to defend his country should invasion happen
Ever hear of the War of 1812? The Brits Invaded, Washington D.C. burned to the ground. We barely survived as an independent country.
We have been invaded most recently as well. Ever hear of the events on September 11th, 2001? We we attacked. We still have a need to protect ourselves. Most recently from international terrorrists.
We don't need to hunt,
No, YOU don't need to hunt. Do you realize that the hunting industry in America makes about 6 Billion a year? That is a large industry, buddy. If you were to take away a person's right to bear arms, the majority of that industry would fall apart. Tens of thousands would be out of a job, and would no longer be able to provide for their families. What you are proposing to do would cause an economic recession on the scale of the Great Depression of 1929!
