Constitutional neophytes ask time and time again why an American would need a SEMI-AUTOMATIC (means you pull the trigger each time you want to fire) AR rifle- which for the record is NOT an 'assault rifle'- assault rifles must have a full auto feature, or multi-round burst option which are illegal for the American public to own.
The SEMI-AUTO AR-15 is without question the modern day equivalent of the musket of 1776. Actually We The People have taken a step down in relative firepower to the 'King' whose men now have superior rifles with automatic capabilities- not to mention the rest of the King's arsenal.
Those who would deny their fellow citizens the right to own the modern day musket are no better than boot licking loyalists that King GeorgeIII enjoyed and you deserve no better than to live life under the boot of the tyranny you promote.. Not only do you fail me in your DUTY as a fellow citizen (virtually all men owned muskets in 1776), but you fail yourselves and future generations. The brave men that risked their lives and fortunes to give us this gift of TRUE freedom, that no people in human history had ever enjoyed before, are surely rolling over in their graves at your foolish apathy. Your subserviency and dereliction of duty may one day soon cost us the Republic itself.
I can easily accept the reality that not every one of my fellow citizens is a true patriot but I will not accept in any way shape or form their attempts to dislodge true patriots' means of keeping tyranny from emerging or dislodging it when it does. Remember absolute power corrupts- ABSOLUTELY. The 2A prevents absolute power.
