re: Why do civilians own "assault weapons"?

oh noz, please don't go...wait come back...no seriously gtfo you won't be missed.

Here's the thing. You say people here are ignorant etc. What you fail to understand is that to the firearm enthusiast the OP is the ignorant arse. An educated person would know that it is up to every individual to enjoy their life in the way they choose. Why come to a board filled with firearms enthusiast and try to stir shite up with a troll that is almost as common as the "what's better 9mm, .40 or .45" argument. The real question is, why does is matter to you that I enjoy owning/shooting firearms?
