Assault weapons are the problem the only reason you "need" an AR is if you're hunting invasive species like boar

Australia permits you to have a gun if you want to shoot for sport but not for self-defense purposes. Yeah. REAL sensible politicians

If the government decides to disappear you, I'm afraid having a military grade AR versus a normal pistol/shotgun/hunting rifle ain't gonna change much. Dated chart and multiple factors at play but clear correlation between assault weapon ban and amount of shootings... the # of mass shootings in America vs anywhere else is astronomical To me the net benefit to society of banning assault weapons is worth way more than an off-chance of an extra 30 seconds of fighting off a wave of Feds
