Ok So I know I am going to get some heat for this but here I go...
I am going to preface this by saying I support our second amendment rights, I support GOAL, Comm2A, and everything they do for citizens and their rights.
I have kept my mouth closed about the subject of assault weapons for a while. My opinion is that I dont think the regular civilian needs an assault rifle. I also dont think the regular civilian needs a magazine with a capacity of 30 rounds.
Now, The first general argument I get is "we should have the same types of weapons the government has." My question is WHY?? The government will NOT come to our doors and turn us into slaves or anything. we do not need to fear the government. I am in the military, and I know I speak for many many veterans when i say: If someone ordered us to go door to door to pull people from their homes, or seize their weapons, I WOULD NOT DO IT. no one in their right mind that serves in the military knows they serve FOR the people not AGAINST the people.
And I am sure you all Know that LEO's will not go door to door and try to do the above... they can barely catch a teenager running from them...
The next argument I would get is "I need it for personal defense."

What will an assault rifle do to a home invader that a Shotgun or a Handgun won't??
How comfortable would it be to carry an assault weapon on your person, either open carrying or concealed, comfortably? Anyone who has served in the military can tell you that the friggan M4 we have to carry around everyday and everywhere can get pretty annoying..
the last general argument I would get is "I use it for hunting/sport." Ok this is understandable, but if you need 30 rounds to take down a deer, or any other animal, you need practice, not a higher magazine capacity. And for hunting, why would you use an AR-15 when you could use something like a Winchester Model 70.
All I am trying to say is, that if you want an Assault Rifle so badly, come join the military and you will get issued one free of charge. The military use it to fight wars in foreign countries, not to fight our own people. So I think everyone who thinks the government is against us, wake up!
And BTW, I think the ban on high cap magazines is stupid because people can get a "preban" mag and it would serve the same purpose as a post ban mag.
Let the Neg Reps rain in...... and Bombs away!
