I have my Remington700 that i enjoy using for target practice... i guess that would be considered a "sportsman" firearm to The Messiah Obama... BUT i also employ my DPMS SASS quite often at the range and find it to be more accurate than my bolt action rifles on a regular basis. Occasionally i enjoy squeezing the trigger thirty times in rapid succession downrange. (knowing in the back of my mind that I'm just wasting almost 40$ worth....*sigh*)

...what do i need an assault rifle for? I need it for the same reason i "need" to modify my car: i enjoy it. I enjoy having the right to defend myself and those within my house. Couldn't i kill an intruder with one round from my .308 remington? yes, perhaps - BUT knowing that i have extra rounds just in case i miss gives one confidence. And confidence is a great ally to have when in a crisis situation IMO.
