As a future former marine I have serviced this country in more ways than many of your will ever do or can ever imagine. That being said, even I support gun control.
There is no reason that civilians should be able to own an assault rifle. When the second mendment was written in 1776 all they had were muskets. Also, at the time there was no military so we had a militia instead. NOW, we have the military and the police so there is no need for a "well regulated militia".
An "assault" rifle is just that. It's a rifle designed to "assault" a fortified enemy position in a time of war. There is no reason for someone to have that sort of thing in the U.S. Somewhere in our nation's history people got this misinformed idea being a patriot means owning an assault rifle. The real patriots are those who realize that assault rifles are detrimental to this nation and are willing to give them up.
This is a discussion WORTH having. Stop burying your head in the sand you stupid, insecure assholes.

A real Marine would never say these things. Especially the part about doing more for the country than others. Marines have respect for civilians.
Grayson Foster
NOPE. 2A COVERS ALL ORDINANCE WE ARE ALL MILITIA ANY WEAPONS EMBARGO IS A FELONY SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED
As a marine you understand how difficult it is to kill people who also have a rifle.

Kid, ya' got no class. Hit the barns, kid. Run like the devil. Get a tin can and take up moochin'. Tackle back doors for a nickle. Tell em' your story. Make em' weep. You coulda' been a meat eater, kid, but you didn't listen to me when I laid it down. Stay off the tracks. Forget it. It's a bum's world for a bum. You'll never be Emperor of the North Pole, kid. You had the juice, kid, but not the heart and they both go together. You're all gab and no feel and nobody can teach you that. Not even A#1. So stay off the train; she'll throw you under for sure. Remember me for that. So long, kid.

I think of Pinochet's Chilean death squads, the Caravan of death. For anyone who says the need to be armed against a tyrannical government is outdated, I present a relevant case in the Western Hemisphere not too far away and not too long ago. And I am so beyond surprised that this debate always boils down to the same talking points and cliched arguments. The constitutionality of the Second Amendment, the purpose, intent, and relevant historical context is settled law. The debate is over. Of course I realize a lot of people would not like the debate to be over, but it is. Our 2nd Amendment codifies an individual right to bear arms explicitly for the purpose of being a member of an old school 18th century militia, but by no means limited toward that end. Hunting and self-defense are are not the explicit or primary intent of the Second Amendment, but they're covered within the individual right to own a firearm just the same. Some people ask if us gun "nuts" really expect to defeat the United States military. Of course that point is completely moot. Does anyone really expect the US military to fire an American citizens? Who would they shoot at but their families, their friends, and their neighbors? Hostilities or conflict would never get that far. In the 21st century the purpose of owning firearms in defense from a tyrannical government is not some awesome Red Dawn scenario. In the 21st century the ownership of weapons is a symbol of non-compliance. I don't know what circumstances might bring about the use of the Second Amendment or require that symbolism to be displayed. It's not the top marginal tax rate going from 35% all the way up to 39%. It's not a mandate to buy health insurance or an increase in Medicaid spending. I don't know what circumstances would bring the Second Amendment to its historical fruition, but that Amendment serves as a wonderful little "r" republican virtue...a well-armed citizenry.
In 2016, only 374 people were killed by rifles in the US, of which the AR-15 is a fraction. This is a pretty admirable record for a tool designed to kill people. If the anti-self defense crowd actually cared about saving lives, there's a long list of causes of death in the US for them to work on.
From the CDC, US death statistics for 2015: 633,842 Heart disease 595,930 Cancer 155,041 Chronic lower respiratory diseases 146,571 Accidents (unintentional injuries) 140,323 Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases) 110,561 Alzheimer’s disease 79,535 Diabetes 57,062 Influenza and Pneumonia 49,959 Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome and nephrosis 44,193 Intentional self-harm (suicide) … ... ... Sources: cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/deaths.htm ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2016/crime-in-the-u.s.-2016/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-4.xls
(From FBI 2015 Crime Statistics) 6,569 Murder by handguns 1,589 Murder by knives 659 Murder with hands, feet, etc 450 Murder by blunt objects 258 Murder by rifles (THIS INCLUDES THE AR-15)
tldr: This entire campaign against the AR-15 is bullshit. If they really cared about reducing violence they would first outlaw knives and martial arts schools.

OP here, I'm honestly not surprised that so many of you are trying to deflect by calling my military record into question.
Those who are in the wrong usually do get pretty defensive and I'd imagine that most you realize just how many deaths can be attributed to your refusal to give up assault weapons. Thousands die each year as a result of mass shootings which are the direct resault of the NRA's refusal to give up assault weapons.
