I do. I'm not here to shite on the second amendment or support an agenda. I'm asking a question.

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"

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

I own one complete AR and two that are not but are in various stages of complete.

I own them because they are a lot of fun to shoot and the second amendment tells me I can.

I also will use it for hunting pigs, coyotes, etc

If things get really bad it could also be used for personal defense.

Big difference between automatic weapons, and what the media(and New York/California/Chicago/DC) considers an "assault weapon". I own one because I can. The one thing the media will never say is that it is possible to hunt with an AR/AK type weapons. Some people actually do this.
