Do they sleep with it? [View all]

Assault rifle owners will tell you one reason they want it is if someone breaks in in the middle of the night.

Anyone who's been to basic training will tell you the only way an assault rifle is going to help you in an invasion is if you've got it in bed with you with a full magazine locked, because burglars won't give you time to go to the closet for it.

The really scary part of this is, there are people paranoid enough they'd do this.
