Reply #179: None of my assault weapons were assault weapons when I bought them [View All]

They were just rifles that I bought for target shooting or as enhancements to my gun collection. Their status as "assault weapons" was imposed by forces beyond my control.

I bought them to shoot at pieces of paper or for their financial value, not to "hunt" other humans.

Samurai swords were designed specifically to kill people, but lots of people own them for perfectly peaceful, civilized reasons. The same goes for firearms.
