And your assumption...would be dead wrong.
I've owned firearms, both handguns and long rifles (.22 to .30-06), plus a shotgun of course...since I was about 13.
Since I no longer hunt (got tired of venison a long time ago), I will rarely use them and usually just use my Ruger 10/22 (10-round rotary mag)for plinking...somewhere safe in the woods.
I also know how addicting to some people, the 'sense of power' a firearm conveys and how rabid some people get, when you talk about guns...ANY guns
I've simply never been one of those types.
So sorry, reading a link from
"The Firearms Industry Trade Association" whose primary existence is to sell more guns (especially since sales have gone down, when the screeching of
"Obama is coming to take away all your guns," which was never even an issue, has now gone away) ....doesn't exactly change my mind on
military-style assault rifles.
