Well Roland, I needed both my WASR-10 (Romanian AK-47) and my AR-15 this afternoon at the range. Had fun with both.

I agree with the sentiment expressed in the title, but then, none of us is ‘average’!

Wow, want to look straight at someone who is going to go to hell? Just click on the link and read Roland Martin’s screed. It’s all there - duplicity, lies, hypocrisy, murderous sabotage, avarice, greed, hate, violence and the intent to bring death to millions of people and utterly crush freedom in this country and in the world.

What an absolute tour de force of naked evil.

Sorry Roland. This is America. What makes America great is the fact that if the “average American” wants a flippin’ AK-47, the “average American” can have an AK-47. It’s not up to the taxpayer funded public servants or a metrosexual writer to tell the “average American” what they can and cannot own. Comprende Rollie? It’s called FREEDOM. Ever hear of it?

Perhaps Mr. Roland Martin should be apprised of the fact that an AK-47 was not used in the Colorado shooting. The actual weapon used was a Colt AR-15 Semi-automatic rifle chambered in .223 caliber. Had the AK-47 been used no doubt it would have worked flawlessly and more people would have been murdered.
That is why I have an AK, and a SKS for the rainy day that Obama will soon be bringing to us.

Soviet Russia was designed to give a person what they NEED. America is designed to let me get what i WANT.

I want an AK. Also, from what ive read, the bad guy’s Remington 870 did the worst of the damage. A buckshot 12 Ga is about the worst thing you can ever have shot at you.

The first weapon the Perp started firing when entering the Theater was his Remington 870, just like the one I own. He had to rack every round. All that Government (Education)money to spend and he doesn't buy a Benelli Tactical?

Roland says it's OK to own a Shotgun, for now, because Roland knows that the next evil gun will be a Shotgun. You know, like the Police use.

I love the “Police use it” so you don't need it argument. The Police use Crown Vics and Dodge Chargers too. It doesn't mean I shouldn't be able to buy one. The Police also use Donuts, but that's a whole other story.

Roland, if it’s too messy here for you with our Second Amendment in tact, please feel free to leave.

There are places all over Europe with people who think along the exact same lines you do. They’d be happy to have you.

Just remember when you leave, that when the ‘stuff’ hits the fan over there, you’ll be thinking of us armed U. S. Citizens to lift your bacon out of the fire.

If you happen to be a casualty before we show up, “Oh darn.”

The second amendment is utilized in a fashion that is in keeping with the tenor of this article.... but I would submit the following for your edification:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.

The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.

To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

1. The Introduction | 2. The Principles of Government | 3. How the King Violated the Principles of Government | 4. How the Colonists Patiently Tried to Stop the King’s Abuse | 5. The Statement of Independence | 6. The Signatures

Part 3: How the King Violated the Principles of Government 1.He did not approve laws passed by colonial legislatures.
2.He required royal governors to suspend laws passed by colonial legislatures until he approved them, and he has ignored these laws.
3.He ordered that new towns not be set up unless they give away their right to have representatives in the colonial legislature.
4.He has forced colonial legislatures to meet at faraway places to tire legislators out and make them pass laws he wants.
5.He has closed down colonial legislatures when they have objected to his denying colonists their rights.
6. When he closed down the colonial legislatures, the legislators tried to meet on their own, but the king’s officials tried to stop them. This left the colonies without a legal government. 7. He has tried to keep the colonies from expanding into new lands and to prevent new colonists from coming to America.
8. He prevented courts from being set up in some colonies.
9.He made sure judges were not independent. Instead the king could dismiss them at any time and set their salaries.
10.He has created many new offices to collect taxes, and tax collectors have hounded Americans.

If the guy wants to have a rational debate he could start by not attaching the meaningless adjective “assault” to particular weapons and not to others.

Dear Government,

Why do I need an assault weapon? Because, I do not trust you.

Sincerely,
Citizen

So that’s the way it’s going to be now? I can only buy what someone decides I “need”?

Screw that.

But you do not need an AK-47.
All those words and I don't see him explaining why nobody needs an AK-47.

Do you see it, redreno?

I'm honestly not sure where AK-47s came into this argument, actually, unless in the author's perfervid imagination someone has done something awful with one somewhere. Which is likely but entirely irrelevant.

Roland, buddy, it isn't about what you decide I "need". It's whether I decide I want one, for reasons that ought to scare the hell out of you and probably would if you had the wit to consider them. As it happens I prefer my military weaponry a bit more refined, along the order of an M1A or even a deadly, evil, semiautomatic AR. And I will have one, Roland, and I don't give a ripe rodent's rump whether you think I "need" it. Because as it happens, I just might "need" it, and God help you and everyone like you if I ever do.
