| It’s the most popular rifle in the US with about 24 million being built. Wondering if any of my fellow educated urban elites happen to own one. |
| My husband does |
| I don’t but would like to. |
| No. We're a hunting family and we do not approve of such a class of weapons. They should not be available to civilians or retired law enforcement. |
A government of the people, by the people and for the people should never have special rights beyond the people. |
| DH and I are former military and not anti-gun. That said, we both strongly believe nobody outside the military (and a few specialized police units) should own a weapon like that. Ever. |
The government will never be weaponized against the people, so your argument is invalid. |
That's a logical fallacy, argument from authority. I believe you are former military. |
Are you new here? Check the Politics and Metro DC forums. |
| No. I don't know anyone who does. |
Oh yeah, I must have forgotten that. |
The government and the people are supposed to be the same. |
And that shows you don't know how Life works. If the military cannot access weapons of war, you will soon not have a country. Peace exists because countries show they can defend themselves. But only as a last resort. Allowing the general public to use tanks and missiles also means you will soon not have a country. |
Have you been downtown this past week. |
| My dad did. He was a collector. |
