I apprciate your remarks, just 1 question for you, why would you need to own an assault rife?? what prpose in YOUR life wouls it serve, not a rife or hand gun but an assault rifie??

Actually unless you are a collector with some really hard to obtain licenses you can't legally own an assault rifle. What is commonly being called an assault rifle is a civilian version of a military weapon. the difference being the civilian version is not fully automatic. You can't just pull down on the trigger and empty a clip in 15 seconds. The clip size is limited but thats just silly and unenforceable, the clip is detachable and 30 round clips were legal for so long that it would be impossible to recover them all, no one is even trying.

An AR15 or its equivalent might be used for match shooting in open sight marksmanship.It is very accurate out to 400 meters, with a scope even farther. That might also be useful when hunting (4 legged) varmints. Then again it is a scary looking gun so you may just want it to discourage visits from the in laws or the neighbors.

There might be other useful reasons to own one but I'm blanking

Respectfully yours
