The caliber of many "aussault" weapons makes them illegal (at least in my state) to hunt with. The .223 for example does not have enough foot lbs. to be used for big game. Small game sure, and again, a select fire weapon is not legal to own. Unless a special license is obtained.

Semantics seem to get in the way of our rights as anything else. The public schools have not helped either! Understanding the fine details of such things is too difficult in this sound bite age.

Unfortunately, I tend to not be very optimistic of our future. We are just supposed to keep quiet, go to work, and spend our money. At times it feels like a sophisticated serfdom we have.
