"Justifiably-Maligned Assault Rifles"
straightarrow at The War on Guns - Bob Confer, a self-proclaimed supporter of the right to keep and bear arms, thinks that "assault rifles" have no roll other than warfare. But he's open-minded enough to be willing to ask for direction at David Codrea's blog. Straightarrow sets him straight. [codrea]
200 million people were murdered,often after torture, by their own governments in the last century. Every one of these killing programs were "legal". What happened in Nazi Germany was legal, what happened in China was legal, every place a genocide or pogrom was undertaken the law of the slaughtering regime provided for it. Every single time.
Every single program of pogrom or genocide also had another common theme. They only occurred after the people of those regimes were disarmed, by law. Only after they were divested of the tools that were "only good for killing people". That theme has been a constant in every case of government sponsored murder since the beginning.
Those tools are useful for one other thing that you didn't mention and I have yet to hear from anyone of your opinion. That is simply, these tools are also very useful in STOPPING the killing of people.
