[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will someone please explain the need for anyone, other than law enforcement, to posses an AK-47 or any assult weapon, particularly one with an expanded magazine.  
If you're a hunter and require an assault weapon to take down your prey perhaps a little target practice is called for.  
The only real reason to own an assault  and what they are  designed to do is to kill people.  
Why body armor is for sale to the general public defies common sense[/quote]
I won't defend the extended magazine which in this case is a drum or drums. The assault weapon qua weapon is less deadly than any real hunting rifle. It is intended as an anti personnel weapon foremost. Why allow them? Primarily as a check on the power of government and law enforcement. And I don't want politicians passing a weapon ban and then congratulating themselves when, in reality, we need to do a better job of keeping weapons of all kinds out of the hands of the mentally ill. For example Cho at Virginia Tech should have been reported years earlier. But because of our concern about appearing to discriminate against the mentally ill, it never happened. It should have. I don't know about Holmes,a though.[/quote]

So you feel an intense need, worth dozens of innocent citizens deaths every year, to have assault rifles, body armor and all kinds of military equipment for sale at a sporting goods store over the counter, to anyone, at anytime, no background check, no medical/psych eval, no waiting period, no registration needed, oh, and cheap, too -don't forget that- to keep the government in check, and to keep law enforcement in check, yes?

You need the right to arm yourself with the latest professional military gear at a moment's notice to form your own little militia or one man show against our elected government and law enforcement, so they would not dare to 'step out of line', and transform into an 18th century King George on you overnight, or some other dystopian fantasy????

Really?  I mean REALLY?

P.S.  Not directed solely at the PP who made a point about keeping weapons out of the hands of the mentally ill, period, and I agree, but to everyone who feels they could not live in our country without weapons, and often citing the militia aspect from centuries past.[/quote]
