I'm not gonna read all the posts in this thread......

Those of you calling an AR-15 an 'Assault Rifle' have no idea what you are talking about.
The AR in AR-15 means Armalite Rifle model 15. The 'AR' is Armalite Rifle & the 15 is the model number. The liberal media and politicians have brainwashed the masses in to believing that AR means 'Assault Rifle'.


There is a direct relationship why the worst mass shooting in U.S. history took place at what was deemed a 'Gun Free' zone as well as a 'Safe Area' for the LGBTQ community as opposed to the NRA convention in Louisville last month.

Let's be honest, we all know somebody with at least one AR-15, or similar type of long rifle, maybe more. If the AR-15 was really that dangerous, there would be thousands of people killed daily by them. Not just TERRORIST who invade a Gun Free zone knowing that they can kill a great number of people without resistance.

Give credit to the Orlando Police Department S.W.A.T. for making the entry on the nightclub building and killing the shooter and freeing the 30+ hostages.




Now to the question.... "why does any private citizen need an assault rifle?"
- As we have learned over the course of history, the heart of man is evil. I could list thousands of different devices humans have used to killed one another. So asking why does a private citizen need an 'Assault Rifle' is like asking "why does a private citizen need any type of knife?" It's not the object, it is the person using the object.
Example
Why does any private citizen drink alcohol and drive???? You explain that one to me.... let's make a push to ban Alcohol & Vehicles the next time there is a drunk driving fatality.

- I respect the police, state/federal agencies and our military. But each American citizen does not get assigned their own personal security detail like elected politicians and dignitaries. I've never been escorted by a thirty man Secret Service detail from place to place (who carry multiple fully automatic weapons all the time). I'm sorry, but nobody's life is more valuable than mine. Me and my family will not be a victim of terrorism.
Just because you don't understand or agree, doesn't mean it's wrong.




Lastly, here are a few things to think about.
- We protect our elected officials & dignitaries with GUNS.
- We protect our money/gold with GUNS.
- When the police respond to a crime, they bring GUNS.
- When our military gets deployed to a hostile environment or come to rescue hostages, they bring GUNS.
- We protect our court systems/Judges with GUNS.
- We protect celebrities/pro athletes with GUNS.
- Prisons/Jails use GUNS to keep inmates from escaping.

So what makes you believe that your family or my family doesn't deserve the same type of protection and security as the people/places/things I've listed above?
