Because you're uneducated and allow your feelings/thoughts on the subject matter to be manipulated by the media.
An AR15, or M1A1 Carbine, or any semi automatic that you can legally purchase in any gun shop in America, is NOT AN ASSAULT RIFLE, nor is an AK, AKM or any of the variations you can now buy.
An assault rifle is a FULLY AUTOMATIC, which are already illegal and have been since the 1930s when the US modelled their antigun laws after those written by Adolf Hitler in 1938.
The ONLY way a person can LEGALLY possess a fully automatic weapons is via a classIII license issued by the BATFE.
The bans on semi-automatic weapons proposed by Obama and Biden are based solely on APPEARANCE and not operation or function.. The majority of the features they note that make a weapon as an assault rifle in their eyes are in reality safety features and do not make the weapon any more dangerous.. Such as a pistol grip, muzzle break, etc..
Also, these retards also include anything with a bayonet mount.. When was the last time you saw a thug with a fucking bayonet on his weapon???
People shouldn't be allowed to form an opinion if they don't know the facts, particularly those whom know nothing whatsoever about guns and how they work.
