It is a gun control issue.... you're not asking why i need an assault rifle because you're curious, the question is more directly "why are you resisting an assault rifle ban?"
It's not up to you to decide what i need. Me owning or not owning an assault rifle does not make you any more or less safe than you are now. You're free to defend yourself however you see fit. Until my means of self defense directly harms or effects your life, politely... and with all due respect.... shut the fuck up.
Obama is a gun control advocate. He has been from day 1 aside from during his campaigns where he tells you what you want to hear. It's no coincidence that gun sales skyrocketed when Obama became president or that they skyrocket at even the hint of Obama possibly imposing restrictions. This is not a transparent president. He works behind closed doors, says one thing and does another. Obama does suck..... and people have every right to question him. Obama creates the tension in america. To make it worse you have the constant backdrop of condescending Obama supporters like Blank saying "that will never happen". Ok.... if it never happens..... then i have a $1500 paper weight sitting in my closet.... jokes on me. I would rather be over prepared than not prepared enough.... but its hard to explain that to a legion of people dependent on government who have lost all sense of self reliance.
You're free to live your life however you wish...... our country was founded by people willing to cross an unknown ocean seeking freedom. You've made it perfectly clear that you would have stayed put and shined someone shoes or picked their garden for them to avoid that risk... good for you. Take the money you dont spend on guns, stock up on tie dye shirts and wool hats if thats what makes you happy.
