Have you ever shot an assault rifle?

No, and I intend not to. Can't even be drafted (flat-footed).

So you want to ban something out of sheer ignorance - since you obviously don't know what an assault rifle is for, sans militaristic uses. Got it.

The reality is that an assault rifle is the premier platform for competitive shooting. They combine the accuracy and distance of a sniper rifle with the capacity and rate of fire of a handgun (obviously at a cost of size). They're incredibly fun to shoot for stress relief. There is nothing in the world quite as fun as using an AR-15 to ding targets at 100 yards away at command.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
