Handguns such as revolvers are a means of Defense for hunters who are being tracked by predators themselves. I know plenty of people who set up distance camps hunting for bucks, and a bear will be trailing them the whole time. and if you're in their territory, your aim is much better with a handgun than a rifle from 50 yards (bears move FAST).
And really an assault weapons ban isn't what needs to be instated, but rather the qualifications to get one should be raised greatly. In my opinion the following should be qualifications:
1) Must have prior military or military-civilian training.
2) Must be examined by a psychologist and be in well mental health
3) Must have prior experience operating simple handguns as well as rifles
4) Receive a special license to be renewed every 6 months, and must meet qualifications 1-3 at time of renewal.
