No why should everyone suffer because a few decide to go on a killing spree? 


Yeah people will really suffer by not having assault rifles at home.  Can you imagine living without an assault rifle, what a struggle.


assault rifle? who even owns those. they're illegal. have been since 1986. and have been heavily restricted and regulated since 1934.

I live in Washington state, and at my local outdoors store you can buy M4s, Aks, and a whole plethora of other fully automatic assault rifles.

Check again. They probably aren't full auto. You need a special permit that costs a lot to get full auto. Contrary to popular belief the guns you're talking about come mostly in semi-auto for civilians. Those AK-47s you saw probably can't even be modified into full auto without a machine shop to mill it out and the parts needed to make it full auto aren't something you can buy at a local gun store or show.

Semi-Auto does not equal "Assault Weapon"

Shotguns for competition and duck hunting come in Semi-Auto models and so do hunting rifles for deer, elk, ect.

Full auto means you hold the trigger down to empty the magazine. Semi-Auto means you can only fire as fast as your finger can pull and release and repeat.

My apologies on the mislabling, however my point still stands, assault rifles are legal for purchase.


The term "Assault Rifle" if it means anything would refer to the weapons used by military for assault on enemy forces. The guns you are talking about may look cooler than a hunting rifle but they are no different than a hunting rifle.
