You DON’T need an assault weapon to protect your family or house, nor do you need one for hunting, unless you are hunting elephants. The Only ones that need assault weapons is the military and law enforcement. [More]
It figures some insulated Piled Higher and Deeper ivory tower moron who would take on an elephant with a .223 would also express childlike faith in the “Only Ones“…
It comes from them being allowed to believe in their own propaganda vis a vis “high powered assault weapon.”
Someone needs to take this noob to a range and let him first fire a “high powered” AR15. Then let him fire an M1 Garand. After his eyeballs stabilize ask him which rifle was truly “high powered.”
If he’s still game, tell him he’s now familiar with the low and middle parts of the spectrum, and ask him if he’s interested in firing a really high powered rifle. Say, something in .458 Win Mag.
I was thinking aling the lines if the venerable and imoressive BMG FIfty. Sporterisd version so it does not LOOK quite so scary.
Then I’d take my own state’s Hunting Regulations pamphlet and turn to the page that clearly states I may NOT use any rifle firing the 5.56/.223 round for the taking of deer, elk, bighorn sheep, bear, moose… not enough power to assure a clean kill.
Then I’d take one of my dead stick milurp 6.5 Swede bolt ction rifles and ask him if he thinks this is a
high powered” rifle or some toy. I knew local chap had taken a nmber of trophy bucks and one trophy cougar with his… all of them dropped in their tracks, one round, range 400 yards.
Some folks need a gunny sack full of horse pucky to insert into their leaking pie holes.
