On The Cycle today, Howard Fineman finally asked the question I have been waiting for!

Howard Fineman asked S.E Cupp, what use to military style assault weapons have on the streets of America (paraphrasing)!

So, of course the only response she could come up with is, I do not have enough time to answer that. I want to give someone else a chance to speak (paraphrasing again)!

I have been wanting to hear what gun lovers have to say the reasoning is behind the need for a military style weapon. I feel that, unless you are in a warzone, a military style assult rifle has place in our society.

This is just my humble opinion!

the whole cutesy format. I just don't like it.
Chris Hayes has a table of people but he has in depth, intelligent discussion.

the talking over each other quite juvenile.
Krystal Ball is the most impressive. Kornacki next.

I'm trying to answer.

I swear to God this is like arguing with creationists.

And I don't own any guns.

If you don't own guns, why must you recite NRA talking points? There is only so many times a person can respond to the same question without being bored to tears.

That was you, four posts ago.

Maybe you've just ignored everyone else who has tried to answer it like I am?

masochistic glutton for punishment that I am I actually clicked on your link. But couldn't get past the 1 1/2 minute mark with the stupid ass intro graphics. They should call that show "OMG Like LOL!"

chance to tell Cupp that she could have their time so that she could answer the question. A complete missed opportunity.

You want to carry a military style assault weapon - then join the military. Makes sense to me.
