I've written about the insanity of citizens owning assault rifles for more than a year in this forum.
People buy them mostly I think, believing they will give them power. They're not worth a damn as a target gun, or for hunting deer. Anybody who needs more than three rounds for hunting ANY animal shouldn't be allowed in the outdoors. Most state hunting regulations ban any firearm carrying more than five rounds.
As a home-defense weapon, an assault rifle is ridiculous. Ask the people who live across the street or to either side of your home!
The absolute best gun with which to defend your home is a shotgun. The spread of pellets almost guarantees you'll hit your opponent, and there's no chance your pellets will be going through neighboring homes' walls.
Obama and Hillary are right on this one. We need to ban assault rifles -- the same way machineguns are banned.
And magazine clips that carry more than 5 rounds should also be illegal.
The NRA exists but for one reason: to act as a promotional medium for firearms manufacturers. There's nothing holy about that gig. Once again, it's all for money -- just like fracking, keystone pipelines, allowing lead pipes to corrode and saying nothing about it -- you know exactly what I'm talking about. It's money and politics. And the result is hundreds of innocent victims from Sandy Hook to Orlando. And all those who are about to die at the hands of some other nutcase next week, maybe at Disneyland or the next U2 concert.
Forget banning Muslims from entering the USA. How about banning all our own nutcases from buying guns?
You want to pray? Pray for all those who are about to die because of the NRA and it's unholy lock on republican politicians!
Reality.
