The thing that so many of the apathetic masses don't seem to understand is why we have a 2A. It is NOT about sporting arms, collectors, or any other "civilized" use of firearms. It is about the PEOPLE'S right to protect themselves from tyranny, oppression, or maybe more to the point in today's society, terrorism or gang crime. As much as I love my six-shooters, they are NOT the most effective for this means. To have meaningful protection against the tyranny or terrorism, the PEOPLE must be armed as well as those who may harm them, and this means effective, military-style weapons. Oppressive governments, terrorists, and or others who would do the people harm will not be using six-shooters, over-under shotguns, or other quaint and "friendly" comfortable weapons. Wayne said it when he said the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. I would take it further and say the only way to protect against bad guys with AKs is good guys with ARs (and mags with plenty of bullets). Do I NEED my "assault rifle" today? No I do not. But I may NEED it some day!
