The amount of people killed in the U.S annually by guns is...shocking...eventhough that doesn't even start to describe what I feel about that fact.
Oh, and of course you need automatic assault rifles for self-defense. I understand that. Who wouldn't  |
Well, it is not an automatic rifle, and of coarse I don't need it. I wanted it, and thanks to our founding fathers it is my right to own it. I have a pistol for self defense anyways.
BTW, I appreciate your sentiments towards our country.
