Thank you. I too am in favor of owning guns for hunting, and to an extent personal defense (but I wouldn't want to own one regardless, personally), but owning semi automatic military grade weapons... well, can you legally buy a grenade, a bazooka, or another weapon of war? No, because they are weapons of war

Hell for a hundred bucks a year I can get another license and go buy dynamite, blasting caps, C4, whatever I want.
The 2nd Amendment is not about hunting, its about the ability to be as well armed as the "Standing Army" and to be able to throw out an oppressive government if needed.
And here is this for example, my "Hunting" rifle can penetrate 1" of mild steel plate, I know, because I have tried it, an AR15 can penetrate a 1/4 plate, but not a 3/8" plate, so, this crap that an AR is a hugely powerful weapon is crap, it was designed to fire a small lightweight projectile, and wound the intended target, as, more wounded soldiers take more time and energy to care for.
The old calibers were FAR more powerful and capable of far more damage at greater distances, which is why the Army is going back to a larger and more powerful round.
An AR basically punches pencil holes into the body, as the found happening in Somalia where they were hitting the enemy multiple times and not stopping them.
How can you cry to ban something you don't even understand??
You can't, because it all just rhetoric not based in actual facts.
