That statement shows you are clearly out of touch with reality.

If we need AR-15s, than all must also have bazookas and 155mm howizters. Since those are also 'needed'. At what point does something become excessive? Never discussed because 'need' (an emotion) trumps logical thought.
There is no "we". I don't speak for you. You, despite your delusions of grandeur, don't speak for me. If you feel you need a bazooka then you're confirming your disconnect with the subject.

Everyone (virutally) says many need guns. But not guns that are only for killing people. That AR-15 (that comes under many names) is only for killing people. It is not even acceptable as a hunting rifle. And clearly not for sportsmen - unless your sport is mass murder.
That shows your virtual reality is created on misinformation and emotional hyperbole. Hmm... sort of like a child's fantasies.

What need is created by bullets that travel for thousands of feet?
You really should read before writing, kid.

Well a hunter in Allentown was hunting with that type of gun.
What exactly is "that type of gun"? Do you mean a semiautomatic rifle?
Quote:
He shot a pregnant woman in her driveway because he bullets traveled thousands of feet. At trial, he so needed that gun as to even refuse to apologize to the woman he shot. He refused even when asked by a reporter. That is the need.
There was a drunk driver in MI last week who killed five people on bicycles with his truck. Should we outlaw trucks? Bicycles? MI? Driving? How about drunk driving? Oh, wait, we already did. How about against shooting people? Oh, wait, we did that too.
Since you're not part of the solution, that makes you part of the problem, boy.
