Socialist Democrats and Assault Weapons

If we listen to the socialist and them pushing a ban on assault weapons.  Well, not only are firearms, rifles etc. assault weapons, but just about anything out there can be considered an assault weapon.  How about automobiles, baseball bats, knives, especially steak knives if somebody overcooks their steak, forks, chainsaws and more.  How these items are use, they can be considered a weapon.  Therefore, before one was to purchase any of these and other items they should have a background check to make sure they are mentally stable to possess or use any of these items.  We know, nobody who waa involved in these shootings, was a member of the NRA where members can get training in the proper use of firearms.  But, if you listen to the socialist, the NRA is responsible for all these shootings, not mental health issues where the review of those involved indicates they had issues that were either not addressed or reported to the appropriate people.
