Defend your right to own a car.

Fully automatic rifles are only useful in military situations. There is no reasonable use for them in civilian life. Would you have military grade explosives, such as C-4, available to all as well? Should an individual be allowed to develop their own nuclear weapons, if they have the capability to? There has to be a line in the sand somewhere.

I agree with where the current "line in the sand" is. But for the sake of argument.... tyranny would be a military situation and in that situation you would be defending yourself from fully automatic weapons.

Some of the current legislation i agree with or understand more than others.... some i dont. If given the option to do so, i would remove the ban on select fire rifles.Also, I understand the danger of silencers being on the open market, but it would be nice to be able to target shoot at my leisure without annoying the neighbors. A silencer isnt rocket science....... it's easily duplicated and if someone intended to use silencing for criminal purpose, they could pick one up at autozone.

Exactly how would you use a fully automatic rifle against an Army brigade with tanks and body armor? How about fighter jets and attack helicopters?
You would accomplish nothing with a machine gun - nothing.

Then why are they so worried about them? By that explanation, isnt an M16 equally as ineffective as an AR15? I think the government has a greater respect for firearms than they are willing to admit. Our country was founded on the ingenuity of gun manufacturers more than it was the military prowess of our leaders.

What makes you think that they are worried about them? As long as they can get people to vote for them, they already have the power. They actually don't need to take any weapons away, if the people continue to hand over power.

They clearly want them removed. Theyre taking steps to remove them based on false information. If they were not concerned with them, we wouldnt be talking about it.
