Please tell me this - why does any member of the general public need one of these guns. These guns sole purpose is to kill someone, they are military grade weapons. It blows my mind that a member of the general public can purchase one of these guns without any questions asked. They are NOT for protection, they are NOT for hunting - there is no reason to own them.Fullxbusymom wrote: ↑Fri Sep 13, 2019 8:53 am Well that certainly will be a candidate I won't be voting for and I am not even a gun owner.

You are a bit misinformed they are for hunting and can be used for protection or just for fun. Several people I know own them and go out shooting every weekend. They are not violent actually the exact opposite. Most I find keep the peace and try and protect that.highlandmum wrote: ↑Fri Sep 13, 2019 9:01 amPlease tell me this - why does any member of the general public need one of these guns.

Did I say I was offended? I am not offended but it does not align with what I would want in a President.WhoAreYou wrote: ↑Fri Sep 13, 2019 9:04 am What about that offends you so much?

Semantics. You had a strong reaction. Could you please explain why?

Let's say you were into boats. Why buy a yacht with all the bells and whistles when a simple john boat with a little motor is just as good. They both put you on the water, right?highlandmum wrote: ↑Fri Sep 13, 2019 9:01 amPlease tell me this - why does any member of the general public need one of these guns.

Change boat to whatever it is you collect. Same principle.
