re: 70% of Young Americans think we should be allowed to own Assualt Rifles

I own many rifles on their lists and i can assure you they have never jumped off the rack and assaulted anyone To me they are just the natural evolution of the rifle. More ergonomic and practical for their intended application. Lets face it the point of any firearm design is to kill. They are a tool for a job. Some were designed to hunt men others animals but both can serve either role at the will of the user. I have bolt action rifles that are far more lethal than a gangsta looking MAC-10.
