Button Basher, it's cool to talk to someone that isn''t going to scream and say I'm evil because I have firearms. Though our opinions are different, we can still hear each other out without anger and insulting posts that seem to be too common on the boards. You are right about the assault weapon for security in my opinion. It is funny, because I actually own an AK-47 and a AR-15(the civilian version of the M-16), both are semi-auto and not the military versions, but would never think of using them for home security. I never want to see the day that I have to pull out my pistol and point it at another person let alone think of shooting someone. And I can imagine that I'd be crapping my pants if I had a situation on my hands where I had to use the AK-47 instead. It just doesn't seem possible in the neighborhood I live in and the current life we live here. But I am not against anyone owning them as long as they are not criminals. It is certainly tons of fun to go shooting on my friends land. No I don't hunt with "assault weapons", but it is a hobby of mine to shoot them. What is so wrong with that? Here in the USA, we have many gun laws on the books already, that are not inforced strictly at all. With continued problems people see more laws as the answer when the current laws are being ignored. My problem with the assault weapon ban was that it didn't ban anything really but weapon cosmetics. It didn't do anything to stop criminals from getting guns. I am against gun control, but for enforcing current gun laws and harsher laws that punish misuse of firearms.
