I am former US Marine and I own an AR15. A lot of people are surprised that I support gun laws.
It's simple really. I grew up in a household out in the country where everyone hunted, and we had firearms in the house. During hunting season we went hunting, and outside of that we did target practice and shot clays. We didn't have firearms for home protection, and clearly we didn't need an assault rifle.
The only purpose of an assault rifle is to kill other people - in bulk. It's not something you should use for home protection. Why do I own an assault rifle? Well, I have the "be prepared for anything" mentality and if society breaks down I want to be ready. However, a handgun and a hunting rifle would do the trick just as well - I could live without an assault rifle.
There needs to be strict laws about firearms. This is just common sense. Why do I have to register my car but not my firearms? Take a look at the drivers out on the road and how fucking stupid they are - are you really okay with all of them being legally able to buy firearms?
