I also actually wanted to know what the reason is you want them? Hunting/defense or something else?

If you want to be taken seriously, you probably need to be specific about what the hell you are talking about. Because I think you are using a some what perjorative phrase which has no meaning except hot button emotional impact assigned to it by dumb ass idiots.

I have never heard people who are knowledgable about guns, and that includes police, soldiers, FBI, as well as guys that just like guns; use the phrase "assault rifle".

They usually refer to M4 or M16 or AR15, AK74, they may use a phrase like semi auto, or full auto. Etc, etc, you get my point.

As for hunting I know lots of people who are good with the AR15 platform, possibly the best general purpose adaptable design ever created. Yes that includes the shorter barrel M4 style.

I am against guns in general actually, and assault rifles are a first step, that includes burst firing / semi auto weapons.

And your reasoning is? Anything logical, or just pure emotional rhetoric that repeats what the anti gun crowd says ad naseum despite it being proven false time and time again?

My reasoning for assault rifles first or that I am against guns?

Why you're against guns?

M

It is a weapon intended to kill. And gun related murders are relatively much higher in the US that in Germany. Like I said maybe you are able to handle guns resposible, but what if your neighbour isnt?

Per 100.000
Germany 1.24 (2010)
United States 10.3 (2011)
