35. Anyone who wants AR15 type guns and high capacity magazines deserves...

Dec 2012

every word of scorn they receive. There is no good reason for any citizen to have those type guns/magazines. Having them legal poses a threat to the rest of us. Sure, maybe you won't kill someone with them but someone else surely will. And until the day you can guarantee that no one will ever commit mass murder with one your argument is mute and they should be banned.

No civilian needs AR15 type guns and high capacity magazines, period.

edit to add: There are ways to get them off the streets.
