Besides the obvious they're a blast shoot and it's a great gun for shooting hogs.

The same reason they want cars that go faster than the speed limit

I know it's a played out argument, but it works.

That is the main reason.





Other reason can be that citizens are armed to prevent a government tyranny (not saying it will happen, but its a reason)

"Because I can" will be my response if ever asked.

First step is correcting them on what is and is not an assault rifle.

I tell them it's not an assault rifle. It's a high powered military styled weapon of death. Most high powered gun in the world. America frick yeah.

That guy who did the interview in WV last night said it best.

Why do police have assault rifles? Avg response time is 4 minutes and the same people come after me first. Why can't I have them then? It is the same criminals armed with the exact same weapons so why do I have to wait for the Police to get there to protect myself? They have no obligation to protect anyone

IMHO that video should've gone viral

Yep. This is #1 because most think they are machine guns.

#2 is that a minute fraction of crimes are perpetuated with rifles, period.

#3 is that it's a damn fine weapon for self defense and I prefer to stack the odds in my favor if I were to ever be victimized.

Maybe some more will pop in my head later...

I don't need one. But I can. Why a 200mph car?
