Let’s quit pretending that our corrupt society is going to help anyone. It is like pretending that we are not racist, we do not punish the poor, or treat women equally to men, or we value anything over our individual wealth: we don’t care. Our actions, not words, define what we value.
What is the rational and good reason to allow anyone to own an assault weapon? Think really hard, think like you just lost a loved one to gun violence, think like this is a really important issue for you. Let us just focus on the biggest reason that we allow this to exist:
Hunting? No, the velocity of this types of weapons travel too fast to not destroy your hunting prey. Additionally single action firing weapons can effectively replace assault weapons.
Your 2nd amendment rights? No, when this law was enacted in 1791 it was to provide a constitutional check on congressional power under Article I Section 8 to organize, arm, and discipline the federal militia. That was before we had a global military, before we had armed police, and before assault weapons, like the AR15, we made available to the public to purchase. Furthermore, no one in our society could effectively defend themselves today against our military.
Self defense? If no citizen had assault weapons, you would be on parity with society with your single action firing weapon.
It negatively affects your freedom rights? Breaking news, you're not free living in this corrupt society today, even the Matrix knows that. We are managed by fear, owned by laws that we don’t approve of, and surrounded by greed and corruption; that is your freedom.
Even if you try to defend assault weapon ownership, it will not be through the lens of a person(s) who lost a loved one to gun violence. The second question to decide quickly is: how long are you going to allow our corrupt society to continue to put us all in danger?
