Why do we, civilians, need an Assault Rifle? We can't use that for hunting. Rifles and pistols are fine in my opinion. Rifles are for hunting, and pistols are for protection.
But an AR? That's used for killing people in the military, long range, and packs a lot of bullets that an wipe multiple targets with a press of the finger. It's not needed by civilians. Keep it in the military.

Don't think I'm implying the gun is a killing machine, it's whoever is using it. Don't imply I'm talking about military men either. I'm talking about civilians. ARs have that name for a reason.

TL;DR
Rifles: Yay
Pistols: Yay
Assault Rifles: Nay

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Guns can be used to other recreational activities other than hunting.

So because civilians don't need something, they shouldn't be allowed to have it? Seems a silly reason to make something illegal.

Do not invite me to your private group. I will not join.

Guns are a part of our culture. We have tons of collectors that will be rather PO'ed if you tried to take away any of their big shinny guns.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

Assault Rifles are already banned. If you're including semi-automatic rifles (which are not classified as Assault Rifles), then you need to be more specific. Also, it'll be hard taking away peoples' SKS.

And look where the people with those guns have gotten us, into terror because they're on some crazy rampage killing citizens each day.

Kid? LOL

I did. You said the same thing and then said AR's should be banned. Your logic doesnt make sense.

The same day of the shooting a Chinese man stabbed 22 children. No one died, luckily, but some were hospitalized.

The last "Mass Shooting" was six months before this one. You're over exaggerating. Also, I'd like to point out that not all shootings come from Military Grade Weapons, Virginia Tech was done with Civilian Firearms.

Wrong

Very few gun owners commit any violent crime, there are hundreds and hundreds of thousands of gun owners in America who legally own a gun and never commit any violent crime with it.

A very, very small minority do and because of that the entire group is blamed, I hate when people stereotype.

They call me graland.

Can you please define what you mean by "military grade"?
Posted by: Double A
Why do we, civilians, need an Assault Rifle?
Assault rifles are specifically rfiles that have a selector that can switch between semi-auto and full-auto. Such weapons are heavily regulated, and typically only used for target shooting and by collectors.

It's self explanatory.

OP, a pistol or a hunting rifle won't help in that case, an AR-15 or an AK-47 would do justice.

I have always wanted to own a Rocket Launcher of some sort. I think I might buy one for my midlife crisis.

I expected a gun expert to give his/her insight, instead you post this man (I think) that is not even from America to make fun of us for having guns.
