Yep.
I know I've long preferred an AR-15 for home defense and I'm sure Sammy would agree that an AR-15 is better than any bolt action rifle for home defense.
But the 2nd Amendment is not simply about home defense but also national defense and political power.
That said … the Parkland shooting shows that if the authorities don't prosecute dangerous individuals for their laundry list of crimes that the criminally insane will be able to purchase guns like law abiding people. The Parkland shooter attempted to kill a child long before the Parkland school shooting... but was never prosecuted so he was allowed to by firearms. Letting the criminally insane have control of military weapons is adding fuel to the fire of senseless killings. I guess that's one of the reasons I voted against Hillary
