Reply #9: It was good, but...

It was good, but once again, the NRA steadfastly refuses to publicly state the fundamental reason why firearms are supposed to be owned.

When asked what use a civilian assault weapon serves, he need only quote Heller:

"First, “it is useful in repelling invasions and suppressing
insurrections. Second, it renders large standing armies
unnecessary . . . . Third, when the able-bodied men of a nation
are trained in arms and organized, they are better able to resist
tyranny.”"

I am continually annoyed that, when asked straight out why people need to own firearms - any kind of firearm - the NRA won't simply say, "To shoot tyrants."
