Most? Really?
Where are you getting these stats precisely, where most gun owners are buying assault weapons?
Guns are tools, nothing more. Most gun owners look at them that way and just have one or two in their homes for that purpose and that purpose alone. Collectors are in the minority and of them, those that purchase assault weapons are in the minority.
I really appreciate how you have shown us all exactly how much you know about this topic.
As I stated above... if you do not wish to exercise your freedoms, speech, gun ownership, voting, whatever.... just don't, but don't be a fascist and try to impose your narrow minded views on other free thinkers in this nation built on tolerance and freedom.
As always, being free means you are exposed to other's freedoms. That means hearing things you will not want to hear, being around things you don't like, business existing you don't approve of, etc.
It takes a special kind of person to be free and be ok with it... we used to raise them.
I don't think we do any longer.

What is it with you gun people? You take any commentary about negative or peculiar attributes regarding gun owners as some kind of attack on the 2nd Amendment. I"ve NEVER advocated banning guns or revoking that amendment. Secondly, I never said anything about most gun owners buying assault weapons, I only commented on the people (and there must be a lot of them) who buy the glossy gun magazines, which do concentrate on the latest super-guns. One does not have to be an "expert" on guns or anything else to notice that America is a land of guns and gun fanatics. Just read this thread. You can almost feel that "my cold dead hands" mentality when reading the posts. How the hell does making some comments about gun owners make me a "fascist," or make those comments an "imposition." Are you that insecure. Maybe you should get a gun.
"..to impose your narrow minded views on other free thinkers in this nation built on tolerance and freedom."
You are so self-contradictory it's sad. What would you call this BBS? A place to express free speech, perhaps? And I'm not so myopic to believe that this nation was built on "tolerance and freedom." You really believe that? I think guns, ironically, had a lot to do with building this nation, and not in the most honest or ethical ways.
I've held guns, I've shot guns, and I've lived in some very dangerous places, but I've never felt a real "need" to own one. Sure, people don't "need" a lot of things that they own or enjoy, but must guns have been and continue to be made to do one thing only, and that is to kill. Sure, you can "use" a rock to kill someone too, but guns are MADE to kill.
I think fascists use guns too.
