According to her, assault weapons are not about hunting, or even self-defense. There is no reason on earth, other than to kill as many people as possible in as short a time as possible, that anyone needs a gun designed for a battlefield.

To quote the 2012 presidential candidate for the GOP, Mitt Romney: “These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense. They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people.”

Assuming she actually believes what she said, why is she not clamoring to take these types of weapons away from the police?

Is she ADMITTING that she wants the police to be able to "kill as many people as possible in as short a time as possible"?

I wish one of these AH’s could point to the amendment which says guns are only for self defense and for recreation.

I've suggested that if Romney had won the election, we'd already have AWB 2.0. The man is an idiot. Not as much of an idiot as Obama, but an idiot, still.

The .223 Remington cartridge, which evolved from the .222 Remington, really was originally designed as a hunting round.

Well, a day shooting an AR or Mini-14 is pretty recreational. And even the .223’s have pretty good stopping power for self defense.

I guess the makers just haven’t figured out that I am misusing my assault rifles, which should of course, only be used for “hunting down and killing people.” Perhaps they should require buyers to sign a form promising (1) only to “hunt down and kill people” and not to have any fun doing it and (2) Not to use it in self defense.

That form would at least make the buyers conform to the manufacturer’s real purpose.

I can’t hunt anyone down from my wheelchair. But if someone or some gaggle of someones break into my house, they will be met with as much destruction to their persons as I can release through the barrel from as many magazines as I can empty into them. ARs make that work nicely, don’t ya think?

Right. And so. ..

I guess that is why they want them all in the hands of the government!
