Which ultimately leads me to my core belief which is that our government is set up in a way that a military coup and martial law style takeover of the government would be nearly impossible thus making the argument that a person needs an AR-15 to protect themselves from the government null and void. Again, I'm not saying take them away from people I'm just calling on those who buy them and like them to be honest and admit that shooting it gives you a hardon and it makes you feel good and important and perhaps fills void in your life so you own one.
I have a friend that has a couple of semi-auto assault rifles. He shoots them in competitions and enjoys shooting them them as a hobby. Cool. Fine by me. If he also told me he takes it out in the woods, burns through three clips as fast as he can then jerks off all over the still hot shell casings I wouldn't care. At least he is honest. But to say that he owns them because he may be called upon to defend himself against the government is pretty indigenous to me.
