Because there are evil forces at work that run in packs and gangs. And we voted for a lot of them.
I do just in case something happens to my Tavor or I can't get to it. And because the budget doesn't accommodate an M4 yet.
I still ask the question, why do you need yours?
Yep, so "they" have something to take out of my COLD DEAD HANDS !
Am I the only "gun guy" who can't get excited about an AR-15? I want to get one at some point from a practicality standpoint, but the platform doesn't do "it" for me.

Reminds me of a certain presidential candidate. I don't really want to vote for him, but just knowing that it is making the libs and establishment types cry, makes it a very attractive proposition...Because it REALLY pisses Liberals off!

I'm half-serious... I had no interest before the first AWB. I then realized how much of an attack it was on our rights, so I then really felt like I NEEDED at least one.
If my interests run contrary to a particular left wing bush pig...I am likely on the right track.

I am NOT an AR fan. I hated the M16 when the USMC took away my M14 and gave me an unreliable, plastic, squirrel rifle.I'm with you, Nate. I have one, and it's a nice one at that, but I don't shoot it nearly as often as my Henry. I was excited about it when I first got it, but that excitement has waned... that said, I won't get rid of it.
This whole "Why do you NEED??" line of questioning is irrelevant. Me justifying owning one will never validate my "need" in the minds of those who don't want them to exist. The fact is, it's a VERY good tool for what it does; so good in fact, it's worth me having one in the event I ever need to use it to defend myself, my family, and my property. Why would I not choose one of the best tools available for something as important as my family? The 2A offers me the right to defend myself, and an AR is an incredibly effective choice.
