A: I believe one should have the right to own fire arms in attempt to protect ones home and family.

Having military grade, fully automatic assault rifles with extended magazines is a tad excessive.

As are grenades.

In my opinion.

@PolyamorousPlaymates you are not allowed to own grenades and full automatic is also illegal

@Sara05f I am not sure the fully automatic comment is true. Its true now that you can't sell or buy them, but I believe there was an "if you own it, its OK" type grandfather clause in there somewhere.

@PolyamorousPlaymates so you disagree with liberal position as this is already the case.

@PolyamorousPlaymates Grenades would be very helpful in a zombie invasion 😁

@Pherick They are rare as hen’s teeth, but yeah a few of them are out there. A full-auto AR-15 will set you back $20k or so.

@PolyamorousPlaymates Aimed semi-auto fire is the real killer on the battlefield anyway, and many riflemen only fire their weapons in that mode - even for suppression.

Tbh people wrangle about this topic a lot, but in terms of combat effectiveness there isn’t necessarily a [i]vast[/i] difference between civvie and military versions of the AR platform.
