I am sick of hearing about how no one needs a military style rifle, handgun, shotgun, weapon, etc.
Do people who make those claims realize that a musket was a military weapon? What about long bows, short bows, re-curves, etc? Archers were a big part of military history and were even used against those armed with muskets, pistols, and rifles.
Many hunters use a bolt action rifle with the joke being they are based on the Mauser action or the Winchester Model 70 action. The Mauser was used as a military rifle. The Mosin Nagant is a military rifle and so are most of the bolt action rifles in use. Most hunting rifles have a design that has been used by the military at some point in time. From muzzle loading, falling blocks, rolling blocks, lever actions, bolt action, and various auto designs.
As for semi-autos, like the AR15 the military took as used a varmint hunting round the .222Rem and made first the .223Rem and for the sake of out NATO "allies" loosed the .223Rem up into the 5.56 NATO. Either way semi-autos went out into the hunting world were improved upon and then taken up by military forces because they work. So, if the military uses the same design does that suddenly turn that style of action into a military style weapon?
Then there are pistols. The military went from a muzzle loading pistol to the new revolver at the time. Should that not make all revolvers military style handguns? What about the 1911? It was designed for and used by the U.S. military for many years. Then there are all the other manufactures who sell different handguns to different military forces around the world.
So an attack on military style weapons is really just an attack on all weapons and firearms fueled by the stupid, the ignorant, the unthinking, and those who want to impose tyranny upon us.
Use the basis of this rant to help you think of ways to counter all those who say we should ban military style weapons.
