Nothing gores my ox more than for someone else to decide what I need. It's my money. I'll purchase what pleases me. Any weapon is an "assault weapon" if you use it to assault someone. Otherwise, it is just an inanimate object. If you hunt, you choose the right weapon for the specific game. A coyote hunter might choose a mini-14 or an AR-15 or a Savage Model 12BV in .223. Same ammo. Same varmint. The AR-15 and Savage bolt action are more consistent rifles...the mini-14 barrel heats up and "strings" the point of impact. Aside from the "mean looking" appearance of the AR-15, there is no appreciable difference in the rifles. Certainly none that merits banning by leftist politicians.
