Being prepared just in case the government turns on us like they are in Syria.
according to OUR Supreme Court, the right to keep & bear arms is not unlimited.
I'd own an assault rifle to kill. Just like with my shotgun. I use it to kill doves.
Well not just like assualt weapons are meant to kill people.
you kill doves with an assault rifle
you must be one hell of a shot
btw I once held the Bolivian record for doves
397 doves with one case of shells
that was 15 years ago and I have not been back
Yeah we are not worthy of your greatness:roll:
Otherwise assault weapons have an explicit purpose and that is to kill people in war. Shotguns have their purpose too. And that is to kill game pretty much. Cann the two be interchanged sure. But one is to feed humans the other is to kill them.

so why did guys on point carry shotguns in the Nam/
I agree but I wasn't going to mention that lest you think I am arroganteace
If assault rifles are already illegal, then I don't understand the hubbub over this issue. Knowing that rocket launchers are illegal, why would you own one?
Hello I'll repeat myself:

The hubbub is people saying a duck is an eagle. An AR-15 isn't an assault rifle, an M-16A2 is. Plus I wouldn't own a rocket launcher because it's too conspicuous, and I don't like explosives.
They aren't very accurate either. They are more of an area fire weapon. Also, when I am trying to pick off individuals from the grassy knoll, it leaves that bothersome smoke trail behind it that just screams "Arrest me!". Yeah, rocket launchers are no good.
tuned M16s are very accurate. A lady i used to shoot with (she was on the 96 Olympic team) was on the USAMU
and her husband was the armorer for them. He would make match rifles out of the A2s. these overtook the M14 rifles as the preferred tools for the USAMU team at the national service rifle championships where they shoot out to 600 yards

And, don't forget the trenchguns of WWI and WWII. Further distance combat than Nam with nastier setups including clustered machine gun nests, and yet even with all those automatics the trenchgun still got plenty of up close and personal use.so why did guys on point carry shotguns in the Nam/ why do prison guards and US Marshalls guarding prisoners carry shotguns. why does a guy like me who was a world class shooter and who had dozens of guns to choose from keep a shotgun as my primary home defense weapon. And why do thousands of people shoot at the National championships at Camp Perry each year with real or semi auto "assault rifles"
And lets look at your pathetic argument. You somehow think its wrong to have a weapon for killing and you limit that to war. That is just plain ignorant. I have guns for all sorts of reasons and one of the most important is to protect my family from criminals and my animals from coyotes. and in both cases, military styled rifles are ideal tools in SOME situations
Winston, no gun is specifically designed to kill. They are designed to fire projectiles within the characteristics of the gun itself. Assault rifles are so named because they were designed to have some mid-range effectivenes while being practical for close range applications, the reason some have full auto capability is for suppression purposes, to keep an enemy down, not necessarily to kill.Hello I'll repeat myself:

you really are clueless as to guns-what was banned was magazine fed weapons that had "bayonet lugs" "flash hiders" "Pistol grips" and "folding stocks"
real assault rifles have been highly regulated since 1934 and any made after May 19 1986 banned for most people to own. The magazine limits were not based on any empirical evidence-it was a number pulled out of someone's butt
Assault rifles are illegal.
All fully automatic firearms after 1986 are banned by federal law, only holders of an FFLIII license may own fully automatics made prior to that. There are only two ways to qualify for an FFLIII and that is to register as either a dealer or collector, all assault rifles have a selector switch and fire automatic thus can only be purchased under both conditions that I mentioned.

The Mexican Drug cartel seems to have great success with the semi-automatic weapons they are getting from the US that are legal here, but illegal in Mexico.
From above: "Mexican law enforcement officials report that certain types of rifles such as AK variants with detachable magazines are being used more frequently by drug trafficking organizations."

Maybe we should try stopping our Justice Department from selling them to Mexican and then trying to convince us it was just a "sting".
