What justification can someone have for owning an assault rifle? Ok owning a handgun or a rifle for personal or practical use like hunting, sport or *laughs* overthrowing the US government has a justifiable reason. But wanting to own anything bigger and far more deadly just seems a bit mentally sick, it's like buying a vat of napalm 'just in case you need it'.

The right to own a weapon is for the purpose of fighting a war, not for personal safety. You want a handgun in a war, or an assault rifle?

There is far more justification for owning an assault riffle then owning a handgun.
