I agree with the headline. Average Americans DO NOT need assault weapons. I don’t have one, nor do I want one.
But it’s sure great that my neighbor on one side has one, and so do two people up the street. And it’s great that I can still buy one, when I do think it will be necessary, and when I think that I can safely handle and store it.
And I’ll vote AGAINST anyone that wants to change any of the above.
“...And its great that I can still buy one, when I do think it will be necessary...”
Certainly it is your personal choice. But remember, by the time you think it’s necessary, it may be too late. When they’re kicking in your front door, it’s not the time to be reaching for the yellow pages.
