"The right to defend ones home and ones person when attacked has been guaranteed though the ages by common law.''( Dr.Martin Luther King Jr.) Why sude that change. Also True assault weapons can not be owened unless you fork out a lot of cash an have a FFL licenses.Now if your talking about a AR 15 .There great as a hunting rifle .Not only can you hunt hogs (Nice one Kip.)its great for deer,turkey,coyote,wild dogs,ground hogs ,gators not to mention a lot of other huntable animals.Its great for home defence too.Here is a pic of one that a person could buy during the last assault weapon ban.Has No flash suppressor or bayonet lug.This Colt has put food on a lot of peoples table.
