Have more to add? News tip? Tell us

The folks who are so adamant about the necessity of owning military-type assault weapons actually believe we need to be prepared to protect ourselves from our own government! They routinely quote the Second Amendment, which is not a reason why, only their perceived right to own these guns. They like to refer to the Hitler regime for proof that this can happen.

The NRA argues that the only people who need to be denied the right to own these weapons are the mentally ill. I would submit that this group of self-appointed "defenders of the people" fits this criteria perfectly.
