Gun shop owner talks AR-15 NY Daily News BY Seth Moulton SPECIAL TO THE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Tuesday, June 14, 2016, 8:26 PM

I’m a Marine. I carried guns every day in Iraq, guns very similar to the ones used to perpetrate the Orlando murders and many other mass shootings in America. I’ve used guns in combat. On more than one occasion, guns have saved my life.

Exactly, and since we are all in the militia anyway, it would makes no sense to prevent the People from having quality rifles.

Actually, even police departments can’t have assault weapons without Federal permits. There is no exemption for them.

Living in a rural area where LE takes almost half an hour speeding along to get here I disagree. These insulated city people on the left and right coasts need reality checks.

Where's that picture of the feral gang of "migrants" running down the road with machetes when I want it?

Also serves as justification for those nasty "high capacity" magazines, too.
These jokers can kiss my grits. d;^)

Right,...ever hear of Lexington & Concord when the British tried to impose musket and ammo control?

Moulton gave up his right to be called a Marine. The Bill of Rights trumps opinion.

With an ongoing invasion of hundreds, if not thousands, of ISIS operatives dribbling in over our borders, we certainly DO have a reason to own some serious weaponry of our own.

They also have no reason to criticize the government or expect freedom!

No ‘reason to own’ the article claims. Citizens need no reason, period. It is a citizen’s inalienable right to own the firearm. End of argument.

Switzerland! Virtually half the country owns guns. Big nasty guns that these guys hate. And it has one of the lowest crime rates in the entire world. It’s true. I guess I’ll have to move there if this madness about destroying our rights doesn’t stop. Sad.

The Second Amendment doesn’t say you have to justify and have a “good reason” — as defined by whom?! — to own a weapon.

Blaming the weapon and trying to prevent law abiding citizens from exercising their constitutional rights needs to stop.

Go after the criminals, not the tools they happen to use.

we have a lot of libs in the service it seems. For me, The Declaration of Independence illustrates the need for ALL guns to be accepted.

Thank you for your service, Congressman, but don’t perpetuate the assault weapons lie, please.

If you don’t want one.... don’t buy one. Not all laws in every state need to reflect what you do and do not want to own.

I call BS on this

Even in the Air Force where I server 20 years it was a RIFLE calling it a gun got you dirty looks and a correction

Marines I have known consider calling a RIFLE a gun an unforgivable sin

That is no Marine talking
