Yes I do know what an Assault Rifle is. DO YOU? I was in the military for six years. Did you go or just play with GI Joe's and tell everyone what our rights our?

There is no purpose for them in our society. Nice to have to target practice with if you have they kind of money but other than that it is a person killer and that is what they use them for everyday. Should be only available for Law Enforcement and Military. Period.
A “person killer”? LMAO! Of course it’s a “person killer”, that’s the whole point. The framers wanted an armed populace, and it wasn’t because they thought everyone should go out first day of buck season.
Although an actual “assault weapon” as defined by Oxford isn’t easily available to the public, and not at all in many states, a semi-auto AR is an ideal platform for many purposes, including what the 2nd amendment demands. Not to mention they’re a lot of fun to shoot, sorry if you can’t afford it.
If people knew how to have them without killing innocent people with then we should have them. But they can't so get rid of them from the Public.
So what’s the ratio of people who own big scary “assault weapons” to those who do and have killed innocent people. 1,000,000:1 is probably a soft estimate, maybe you can enlighten us tho.
It’s all bullshit anyways, hardly anyone is killed by a rifle. The anti AR propaganda is exactly that, propaganda. Getting rid of them does absolutely nothing to stop gun crime. Why don’t you care about all the black people killing each other, with handguns, for sport every day of the year? How racist of you. All up in arms when the pasty-white little kid take a bullet, but gangs turning our cities into Tombstone, not so much.
BTW,
that isn’t an AR. The pics out there aren’t high enough resolution to ID it (at least for me), but whatever it is uses pistol rounds, so it’s no more powerful than my Baretta.
