Assualt Rifles - Why do you USA citizens need them.

Sure your 2nd ammendment garuntees you guns but doesn`t garuntee assualt rifles, they have no reasonable purpose except killing humans, I do not think any citizen need them.

You realize an assult riffle is just a normal rifle that happens to have a pistol grip and a magazine right? They aren't auto.

my guess is testosterone has something to do with it.

Some people enjoy shooting and many even participate in shooting sports. Why do you have to question everything about American culture?

We really don't. Some people like to exert their authority over animals, I guess.

[QUOTE="_Verm"] A militia is composed of private citizens. its saying that the right to bear arms for the people shouldn't be infringed so they already have guns to join militias to protect their states.spazzx625

...unless you're some Libertarian nutjob, of course.

Like pirate said, I am glad he told you his innocent intentions of simply wanting to understand Americans more.

What modern guns do you know of that don't shoot multiple bullets? DO you expect everone to walk around with single shot firearms? What good is that when it comes to self defense?

If you got shot once, would you still be staggering toward your shooter? I don't think so. Single-shot firearms get the job done, you don't need to butcher your assailant in a hail of gunfire.

[QUOTE="King-Saddam"]Yes I realize that and my point is you do not need a weapon that shoots multiple bullets. Regardless of it being full auto all assault rifles are semi auto or with the option of going full auto. Again why do you need one.

This is what I see everyday when I step outside Pic

This is what I can come across at any moment Pic 2

See why I would want a high powered rifle that can shoot many bullets?

One shot may kill or disable someone in a movie, but in real life there are many, many variables to such a situation.King-Saddam

Most people use handguns for self defence, and most people with assault rifles simply collect them or use them in a shooting range/hunting scenario. Having a handgun with only one bullet for self-defence is absurd.

i mean its not like you could miss the person (sarcasm) or hit him in a spot where he will keep on walking.

You clearly have no clue what you are talking about. A single shot MAY kill or disable the person being shot, but with the rounds civilians have, 80% of the time one shot won't do the job. And yes, If I got shot once by any normal civilian round in a non vital area(over 60% of the body) I would still be fighting.

I highly doubt that. I realize that the fight or flight mechanism would kick in, but in most cases I see a shot to the chest or leg good enough to put someone down. I'm curious, where do you get your statistics from?

Have you ever seen what a person with bullets in them is capable of? No, so don't act like you know what you are talking about.....

The difference is you have to pull the trigger every time, which depends on the operator. They were talking about why do we need guns that spray bullets at a person, when in reality it is simply how many times the trigger is pulled.
