..."I however do not understand the need to own an assault rifle for private use,..."

He is admitting that he has no understanding of the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution and why it was included.

Must be overdue for a donut fix….. What part of “infringement” does he not understand? He “doesn’t understand” why a citizen would want to possess an (whatever this term means) an “assault rifle”? Does he not understand that the stereotypical hunting rifle, be it Grandpa’s Winchester 94 30-30 or the beautiful walnut stocked, scoped and pampered Model 70 30-06 on Dad’s wall will ALSO slice through “body armor”? He does not understand why a citizen would want to possess a 30 round magazine? Gee, my electric can opener is potentially lethal, but I still want it. Open carry? Well, Barney here obviously doesn’t want citizens (who, by the way pay HIS SALARY) to be on the same level of playing field with him. An armed society is a polite society. I live in the backcountry. I carry – every day. Preferably a 357 Magnum or a 44 Magnum, although I have recently surccumed to the temptation of carrying a high capacity 9mm loaded with +P+’s. Often, there’s a rifle in the truck cab with me – sometimes, horror of horrors, it is a semi auto AR or AK, maybe an SKS on occasion. If a coyote is attacking my livestock, waiting for officer tootie to drop the jelly-filled and come to my rescue (VERY SLOWLY – gotta write those “rolling stop” citations those NASTY criminals are committing) is not an option. And - if I have to run in town for any reason, I’m NOT leaving the ordinance behind - gang members move about freely, thanks to LEO incompetance. I DO, however, try to carry something concealed when in town, so as not to alarm any liberal weenies - a J frame S&W 38 Special in a baggy jacket pocket loaded with 158 grain SWCHP +P’s and a couple of speed loaders in the weak side pocket works well. This guy needs to be reminded that he is to SERVE the public - not strut about like a peacock and “interpret” the Constitution.
