“what do you need an assault weapon for if you are going hunting?”

Depends on what you're hunting.

An armed population is a free population.

The 2nd amendment was not put in the constitution to protect hunting...it's the last great check and balance against a tyrannical government. (I just wanted to throw that in) :)

Well yeah. But my response was an ironic quote to mylife's surprise at your candidate. Michael Steele on Gun Control . No ban on your skeet hobby gun or your hunting piece, but society should draw lines on assault weapons and enforce them. Not much different to Obabma/Biden
