Are you wondering about just "assault weapons" or just guns in particular? And if why just "assault weapons", why not ask about the others?

Do you believe that this is an accurate statement? What trollish comment did I make?

Ignore the immature, defensive, idiotic responses.
I do not own an "assualt" type rifle but could see the appeal of owning one. Some get them for recreational shooting, some have them for self/home defense, some like the power trip it gives them. They are very popular and there are more out there than you would think. You won't find one law abiding citizen using them for illegal activity. That's the greatest part.
Controling these weapons is punishing the good majority for actions of a small percentage of the bad.

I don't mind the dude's question, no matter his agenda.
If you don't think civilians need guns, you don't realize how young our country is, or how unstable it is, (as all governments are)...
damn, just look how many nations have fallen, revolted against, etc just in the last 50 years.
Why do we think we're immune from this? We're just naive.

There is basically no difference in the 2 rifles below. Both are semi-automatic, have magazines that can hold multiple rounds. The have different uses but they are essentially the same, Like the forks below. all the same, but different uses.
By the way all items pictured could be used to assault someone.
I say outlaw forks!

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security...
That is why, and it is the sole reason for the second amendment.
If you truely didn't know that then you have a serious problem. You should read and understand the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

I own a black rifle/assult weapon/gun
It is not Automatic.
It is semi automatic.
I own hunting rifles that are greatly more powerful that are also semi automatic.
I have what a non gun enthuiest would call a huge arsenal. But I hunt and collect.
None of my guns have ever been used to shoot or kill people.
I chuckle every time the media calls a ak or 223 round powerful......
Match with all of the above except for the last one......
January 1986 loaned a gun to a friend and he used it to commit suicide

Because Bill Clinton and a Democratic Congress told me I couldn't. So now I own 6 Ar's 2 M1A's and 2 AK's.
Why don't you blame the assclown that pulled the trigger?

Mainly automatic weapons because I understand people owning a handgun for protection or a shotgun/rifle for hunting/protection. I just wanted to know if there were any other reasons besides collecting them as to why someone would buy an automatic weapon. I never fired an automatic weapon but I imagine it is really awesome.

Those are not easy to acquire legally. They are also very expensive.

there are very few civilians who own automatic weapons

You need to clarify your use of "automatic" because in gun talk it commonly refers to semiautomatic, which is what most of the "assault weapons" you are thinking of actually are. Fully automatic , meaning more than one round fire per trigger pull, is what you are thinking. Fully automatic weapons are a much much smaller market because of the registration process and the ridiculous pricing compared to semiautomatic weapons.
P.S. many handguns used for self defense are "automatic"

some people think they will need them to fight off their oppressors or for the apocalypse.
some people just think they're fun as hell (this would be my stance)

sigh. SEMI-automatic weapons. Why are message boards so counter-productive?

I was thinking more along the lines of AR-15s or AK-47s. Whatever category these guns fall under.

The trigger don't pull itself. Why do you blame an inanimate object? A human being loaded those weapons and pulled the trigger.
