Well... that is not really an answer.
I know. The point I was trying to make is that there countless things most folks do not "need", but are yet free to own.
I used the car analogy as a comparative of "excess". One cannot own an assualt weapon because of the speed of discharging rounds, yet one can own a car that can go 220 MPH even though one's restricted to driving no faster than 65 MPH.
I don't own an assualt weapon, but would not mind having one. There are nasty scenarios now in play (post 9-11) where an assualt rifle might be a pretty good thing to have.

I don't have a problem with you owning 10 of them. I was just hoping for more an answer than "mommy said I can." I have to face these kind of questions all the time. I just wanted to have more meat to my answers than the 2nd Amendment...which is a pretty strong reason except when dealing with Liberal Professors.
