Who is deciding who's ordinary and who isn't? Also why do we really NEED the 1st amendment, or the 4th amendment, or any of that pesky constitution? All it does it hold us back... :banghead:
I recently had a conversation with a friend about this (he is thoroughly anti gun) I tried to explain to him that there is a big difference between what is readily available and what is more restricted (NFA items). I tried to explain that as citizens we are the last line of defense for this country we all love. I understand the likelihood of citizens having to fight a tyrannical government is low, as are the chances that a foreign army will launch a full scale invasion, and in spite of that I have still chosen to arm myself. I think it's the responsibility of citizens in this country to defend it if the time does arrise. In the event of these unlikely things coming to pass (stranger things have happened though) I want our citizenry to be equipped as best as possible to give us a fighting chance.

Why? Because...
They make the best defense rifles. Ask any vet.

This one's gotten goofy.
The sane and persuasive answers are here with tinfoil ones. Let's hope that the folks who see this thread see clearer than some of the folks that have posted.
