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.

There is only one real answer and if you haven't seen Jim Jefferies in action it's worth a look:

@GeniUs I’ve seen this before. Love it.

He's right, isn't he? Just say, you like to handle guns and everything about them. I'm not bothered but I have a friend who spends considerable money (because we're in the UK) doing just that.
