What he is trying to say is that its a weapon the military uses. It's not for hunting or personal security. It's purpose is to kill people. So in that respect is doesn't matter if its semi or fully automatic, which is more of a legal distinction.

Right.

No, its not a weapon that the military uses. The military uses assault rifles. That said, In Arizona it is legal for me to buy an assault rifle or "Class III" weapon here. but it is heavily restricted and many laws that you have to know and abide by to have one weapon. A common criminal probably doesn't want the BATF go into their lives or an the mininum volunteer their fingerprints.

But i will play along with your statment. You say it is to kill. Well that is not correct. Take for example me. I have shot thousands of rounds. Not a single living person was even at the very least injured. If you research a bit, you will see that there are many competitions for these weapons as well. I would write more but i'm cooking!

P.S. I'm not trying to say you are wrong. I just saying that there is more than just that thought. Alcohol is worse than these weapons. They will more people than guns.

Alcohol probably ends up creating more people than it kills, to be fair.

It's incredible isn't it? One of the major reasons why I would never raise kids in the US.

You're probably right, an ex-penal colony would be a better place to raise a kid.
