Reply #35: No modern military uses "assault weapons"

[benEzra]

For militia sake , owners should be able to own assult weapons .

Common sense says individuals should not be able to own them as they are strictly for military use , multiple deaths , rapid fire.

No modern military uses "assault weapons" as defined by the expired "assault weapons ban." Militaries use automatic weapons, not fake civilian lookalikes. You appear to be under the impression that the assault weapons ban restricted military infantry rifles?

AFAIK the only gun affected by the "assault weapons ban" that the U.S. military uses would be the Beretta M9 pistol, which is simply a civilian Beretta 92F anyway. (The 1994 AWB dramatically raised prices on replacement magazines for that handgun, among others.)
