I'm not a gun owner. Why does anyone need an assault weapon?
Handguns are good for home defense, especially with the tight halls in your home. While they are a murder weapon, they are statistically less dangerous than a swimming pool in your backyard.
Your chains rest lightly upon you now, but this may not always be the case.
History has shown that the people fare much better when their government respects and possibly even fears them. When government has overwhelmingly superior weapons, respect for the people decreases.
Why does anyone need an assault weapon?
Sorry I was completely with you right up until that post.
Trump you’ve got my full support, but let me be clear. I am very strongly for the entire 2nd Amendment. I think we have already exceeded the contitutional limits on gun control in a number of areas, and I want it rolled back, not advanced in any area.
Don’t even say we need to control guns.
Trump don’t go there. Not at all. Ever.
“Why does anyone need an assault weapon?”
OK as the owner of an “assault weapon” let me clear up a few things. The American public is by law not allowed to own assault weapons as they are fully automatic weapons with a selector switch.
What we are allowed to own are tactical rifles in various calibers. They are not automatic weapons, they are semi-automatic weapons which means you have to pull the trigger every time you want to fire the weapon. Just like any other rifle.
You may be familiar with the term AR15 which comes in .22, 9mm, .40, .45, .223, 5.56. 300 blackout and I’m sure somebody will come up with one I forgot. So basically an AR15 in .22 caliber is the same as a regular .22 rifle except its all black and a little scarier looking. I think now they call them AR 22’s.
So to answer your question tactical rifles are used for hunting, personal protection, target shooting and just in case the government should get a wild hare and decide to send us all to FEMA camps its a good weapon to have around to change their mind.
II Amendment: A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.Donald Trump is supposed to defend and uphold the US Constitution. How is he going to do when he disagrees with it?
We may not need an assault weapon, but there is the 2nd Amendment component, and creeping gun control that goes with limiting what a gun owner can have.
When are they doing away with Hammers, Knives, ball bats, fence post, shoelaces all have been used as killing weapons. Not to mention poisons.
