Should assault rifles be banned in the US?

As I told a housemate when he asked if I would shoot a burglar with my Springfield, "No. The bullet would go through the burglar, through the wall, through you, out the other wall and possibly through the neighbor across the street."

I know that even at very close range most shots miss anyway, but I think that a bunch of shots from a 9mm, or seven shots from a .45, will do the job inside my apartment.

Actually I think my bolo will do the job inside my apartment. Another good weapon is a stack of dinner plates. A dinner plate thrown like a frisbee at close range will break bones, and a lucky hit can kill.
