"BUT, if you get your jollies from collecting assault rifles with large magazines which serve no purpose other than to make you feel 'important' or to compensate for some inadequacy on your part, then this does not apply to you. You don't need a gazillion-shot clip to make you a special snowflake, nor do you need it to provide food for your family. You are a danger to this country and its citizens, and all your blustering about 2nd Amendment rights or serving in the military doesn't make you right."

one question for you, why do you care what the reason is for why somebody would want to own an assault rifle with a large magazine if they are not using it to harm anyone or anyone's property??? maybe they just like having the gun and shooting it at the range once in a while, why do they have to explain themselves to you, or to anyone, if they haven't done anything wrong?

actually, one more question, how is this person a danger to the country and its citizens?
