Mags, I haven't agreed with a lot of things said by you, and others for that matter. I have guns, I like guns, I have my CCL, I practice CCL, and I'm a pretty big redneck at heart. BUT, I do agree with this statement, and the fact that every "assault rifle" is pretty much sold out around here in 5.56/.223, actually scares me too. I am concerned irresponsible people will be buying them and not practicing safe storage, practice, education, everything and this could end poorly. Now I am not saying I think we need to ban them, or do anything like that, but I do feel there needs to be more evaluation of people getting guns like these. I am sure I will get flamed for agreeing with Mags and stating my feelings, but I am not hating on gun owners, or people who disagree with adding more restrictions. Like I said, I have my AR, a long with several other guns, and plan to continue to purchase these guns, teach my kids about them, but I do feel that right now it's too easy for criminals to obtain weapons.
