But you do not need an AK-47. Medium caliber, semi-auto rifle.

That's ok. Conservatives are above average.

The need does not matter, it is a right. I do not need a reason to express my right to free speech, I do not need a reason to tell a police officer that he can’t search my car, I do not need a reason to not testify at my trial.

Give me a Glock and a shotgun and I’ll deal with a civilian model AK. This writers ignorance shouldn’t be as stunning as it is.

Imagine if the shooter had a shotgun with 00 Buck. He had lots of time to reload.

The gun is not the problem, the person is.

Wait - how many people die daily as the result of a misused automobile?

Is there an amendment saying the right to drive an automobile shall not be infringed?

You know, it’s how liberals think. They also think people don’t need to breed dogs or any number of things that annoy or frighten or whatever them.

Dear Roland Martin,

Who the hell are you to decide what anyone needs?

It ain’t about “need”— more to the point, it ain’t about anybody other than “redreno” deciding what “redreno” needs.

If “redreno” decides “redreno needs an ugly Russian gun”, then the only other deciding factor ought to be whether “redreno” has the appropriate mount of money with which to make the purchase.

AK-47? Belt-fed is the only way to go.

Average Americans don't need a big screen TV, a nice car, a pool, an air conditioner, a bath tub, an internet connection, a pipe wrench, or a cell phone...

Hell no Roland, I’d rather have an FAL, or a Garand.

Well, Roland. I don’t remember asking you what I needed. Did I?

I thought not. Until I do, kindly STFU. I don’t have any idea who you are, or think you are, and I don’t watch your channel. Ever.

And so you know, the shooter at the theater used an AR-15, not an AK-47. Lucky for the rest of the people there. It jammed. An AK-47 wouldn’t have.

These people can’t tell you why you should have these and then they want to tell you why you don’t need them? FUCNN
