Do many people feel this way? I laughed pretty hard at first and then saw someone was being serious.

How would your assault rifle protect you and why would the government take over? This isn't Nazi Germany, it's the United States in 2013. There's not even a valid reason for the government to "take over."

I could care less what's banned, just curious as to the reasoning behind this government protection.
Its a baseless argument the Right uses to push their agenda, much like banning guns solves crime problems which the left pushes.

I dont think anyone can make a rational argument that they need an AR15 to combat a tyrannical govt. That war was lost 70 years ago
