Should assault weapons be banned? yes

 Should assault weapons be banned? i pick "yes" side its like a debate and type a 3-4 page research paper (double spaced, 12 point Times New Roman Font with a separate [from the 3-4 pages] page for references) arguing the merits of your side. Use Chicago (author date) style with in text citations. This is an research paper so you will need an actual thesis statement and supporting evidence. I expect a minimum of 6 different legitimate sources cited (no Wikipedia, no course texts allowed).
