"Finally, despite the plaintiffs’ claims that they would like to use assault weapons for defensive purposes, assault weapons are military-style weapons designed for offensive use,"
So never in the history of the military has a squad, unit, platoon, or battalion ever taken a defensive posture with an M16 since they have been in service? They always attacked and never had to "defend" a position? I mean I know the US Military is the BEST in the world but there had to be at least one time they used their weapons to defend themselves. That's the whole point behind a firearm. It can be used for offense or defense just like a baseball bat or a knife or a brick. She is a mushroom. I think her elevator stopped going to the top a long time ago.
