Watermark, does gun control prevent crime in this day and age?
What's the practical purpose of an assault rifle?
Marksmanship. I was in the Army and learned to shoot the M16A1 and A2. Until my divorce I had an AR15 and took it out regularly to shoot targets because I could hit more targets over longer distances over open sites than with any weapon I have ever fired in my life. There are literally tens of thousands of people who do this very same thing EVERY WEEKEND. Because ONE FUCKHEAD crazy guy kills people and you want to rip peoples property from them cause that will stop the madness in your mind. It never will. More people per capita were murdered in Mexico every year by guns than here in the US until 2002.What's the practical purpose of an assault rifle?
This boy had easy access to an assault rifle. He didn't have to go underground for it. If they were limited he would have used a less deadly weapon, like a rifle. 10 people would be alive today, and hundreds of others wouldn't be permanently shellshocked, without otherwise useless assault rifles that are only good for mowing down herds of people in rainbows of blood.
overthrowing tyrannical governents.

I am not sure what the murder rate is in Mexico currently but it is still for the most part comparable for a country with a far smaller population.
You can go here to see the murder rates by fire arm in other countries and the US

The people have to have one last check on a government that has gone too far. If you disarm the populace and a dictatorship arises you have very little recourse. An armed citizenry is the final barrier.
Assault rifle vs. tank = dead person with an assault rifle
But not often enough to justify a ban. You have a emotional reaction to this and that is fine. But this just does not happen with enough frequency to even be statistically relevent.Assault rifle + loon = lots of dead people

Banning assault rifles isn't gun control, it's fucking common sense, something libertarians completely lack. They don't even live in reality; whenever reality contradicts their dogma, reality is at fault.
Sick fucks like RS believe we should arm them with nuclear bombs.
One and the same really...We are all "alive" so unless your one of those Jesus freaks that think humans have a superiority complex...well than i dont see a problem between killing deer and killing humans...Fair comparison

Society + freedom = occasional loons.
By that logic, we should outlaw freedom.
Can you cite some examples of assault rifles being used in crimes? A ban on these rifles would really take a huge bite out of crime. You're awesome! I'll put you in the saving-the-planet file. Right here next to global warming alarmists.
LOL fucking dork
i also think citizens should be able to own tanks.
