I've always said that owning a gun means that eventually you will use it. There is no constructive way of using an assault weapon.
Assault weapons are meant to do just that, ASSAULT.
You can surely fend off any foe with a 12 gauge, why do you need anything more?
Protecting your family is one thing. Taking out 50 people in 3 minutes is something completely different.
You can quote all the websites and documents you want. Any argument can be rationalized. That doesn't meant it's right.
Until a scenario where the use of an assault weapon is required and not beyond the bounds of the law, your point is moot.
This is what's lacking in the argument... we ask why you need it and you say, "because the constitution guarantees me the right".
Don't you realize that the constitution had built-in support for ammendments to allow for changes in society?
If you love the consitution so much, why don't you disavow anything else that has arisen out of societal change? Get off your computer. Turn off all the lights in your house. Disconnect your phone. Go back to living in the 1700s.
Times have changed and so has the country in which we live. It's long past the time where we let go of the constitution as a crutch and infuse a little logic and reason in our government.
