Colossal understatement. There is NO viable, credible rationale for allowing U.S. residents to own assault weapons. NONE.
Sorry RealLindaL, you wouldn't know an assault weapon if you tripped over one. For one reason, the term, "assault weapon" is an invented term. It was invented to ban weapons that LOOKED dangerous.
This is an AR-15, it is NOT an assault rifle. It fires one round each time the trigger is pulled.
These guns all fire one round for each pull of the trigger.
Below is an ASSAULT RIFLE, capable of firing 950 rounds per minute. It is an M4A1 carbine.
All an automatic rifle does is waste a LOT of ammo.
I have a semi-automatic rifle. It was invented for use by the Viet Cong to assault American GI's.
If we could talk to the dead GI's, I'm sure they would tell you a semi-automatic was used to assault them.
You can call a rose by any name you want, but it's still a rose.
