[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s the most popular rifle in America and has been for years.  It’s incredibly modular and customizable, has low recoil, handles lots of calibers (for hunting, home defense, competition shooting), is much easier to use than something like a shotgun (so good for disabled persons, such as a veteran I know who uses one to protect his home).  But you’ve decided that they’re evil, or “machine guns,” or only used by “sucky hunters,” and have no legitimate purpose.  So I’m not going to say anything else, because you have your opinion about them.  So do the millions of normal Americans who own them.

Ps: they’re not going anywhere, so focus on something else.[/quote]

A mentally ill person kills a bunch of students and your response is take away guns? Try again. You won’t be restricting my rights because of some wacko. Not today. Not ever.[/quote]

I'd refuse to give up my ability to protect my kids because someone had a theory that making me and my family defenseless would stop crazies from killing people.[/quote]

Delusional.

Average citizens wielding guns has never protected or stopped anything in America.  You may have your handful of anecdotes or the random YouTube video of something like a shopkeeper shooting wildly while some thugs run away but in aggregate it is all for nothing.  America actually has *more* violent crime per capita than modern industrialized nations that have gun control.[/quote]

Sounds like you discount defensive usage.

Are the US demographics the same as other first world nations?[/quote]
