Why?

Okay, let's keep this civil. I want to know why owning a semiautomatic, military style firearm, with quick change magazines exceeding let's say 8 rounds, is so important to you. Why? What do you use it for that you could not otherwise do with something like a Henry Long Ranger.223 Remington, or let's say a Model 48 9mm S&W Revolver?

I have other questions concerning the whole firearms issue, but let's start with this.

Before you launch into a tirade, know that I started shooting at around the age of 10, am a combat veteran, a retired Mastersergeant, own and always have owned, at least one firearm, and support our 2nd Amendment. I sincerely want to know your reasoning.

They are only needed in war and in the event of an apocalypse.

@Keepitsimple Yah, I agree and if an apocalypse occurs, I'm pretty sure it would be a bit futile to worry about guns anyway.

@Keepitsimple Well republicans can use that as justification then, because according to the Abrahamic religions, the apocalypse is nigh. ☺
