There is NO REASON a civilian needs an assault rifle, NONE!

The constitution does not say that a civilian has to have a reason to have an assault rifle or any other weapon. It says, "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed". It might be antiquated, out of date and out of touch, but that's what it says. We cannot just pick and choose our favorite parts of the constitution and ignore the others. What if I were in the whitehouse and decided that your right to free speech was old, outdated and out of touch? The founders provided a method by which the constitution could be changed. Change it or STFU.
Liberals are like a "Slinky". Totally useless, but somehow ya can't help but smile when you see one tumble down a flight of stairs!
