This irritates me, koff~
Let me be perfectly clear. Hello, those who would label everyone who owns an 'assault rifle' as a ridiculous person or a gun nut: You are sorely mistaken and deceived. "Well, CoffeeDrink, what's the purpose of owning an assault rifle?" Stop calling it that! Assault rifle? Are you kidding me? Sure, there are military styled rifles, but that's it! You can't legally buy yourself an assault rifle, if you can even call them that! Stop. Please, please, please, for your own good and intellect do not call them assault rifles, and do not bring up the 'why do you own one?' topic.
I have already established that
1. assault rifles, as you put them, account for around %1 (hovering about there) of all the shooting deaths in the US
2. assault rifles are harder to conceal
3. would you rather take a .308 to your chest or a 5.56?
4. they're harder to conceal.
Hunting rifles for instance, look like regular po-dunk, non threatening hunting rifles. Turns out they can carry heavier ordnance than your assault rifles. The shells are heavier, they can fire at the same rate, they have an attached scope, often times they are just as easy to piece together, they can have magazines the same as your semi-auto assault rifles. For the love of all that you believe in please do not raise the question "why do you need an assault rifle?" ever again.
Would you question me purchasing a sniper (hunting) rifle that chambered the same rounds? Remember in Battlefield, where you can take off the scope off a sniper rifle and run around the map wasting people with it? Remember how they're semi-automatic and can kill just as effectively? Stop with the assault rifles bit. It's old, it's tired, it's a useless argument. Any gun can kill you if it hits you in the brain. Handguns can do this, rifles can do this, hell, why aren't you putting shotguns on trial here? Have you seen what slug shells can do to a man? Missing limbs and violent death. That is what a shotgun offers, and in actuality is far more effective at dispatching 'crowds' of people.
Enough with the 'lethal assault rifles' already. Please. They're semi-auto and pose no greater threat than a handgun. If you make the argument that rifles can hold more rounds than a handgun: Five-Seven. The FN Herstal Five-Seven comes standard with a 20+1 round magazine and can have a 30+1 magazine fitted for the thing. Are we done? Can we all say that a bullet to the mendula oblongata, no matter the caliber or the weapon, will kill you almost instantaneously? Please drop the assault rifle bit. You'll be laughed out of the gun club. Try it. Bring it up with a gun store owner. He'll tell you what I told you. No more of this 'assault rifle' business, koffi~
