Modern day battlefield capable weapons are the ultimate rage weapon, they're incredibly accurate and economical.
If you need a thirty round clip to hunt deer you're ether lazy or inacurate.
You don't need a thirty round clip or an assault rifle for home defense, if fact a pistol would probably be preferable for home defence. where your in a confined space. Probably the best weapon for home defence would be a shotgun since its almost like using a flame thrower.
I get that the whole idea of militia's and 2nd ammendment rights to bear arms is there to protect citizens from a corrupt government. But really your assault rigle or uzi is pretty useless against a government backed by armoured cav, advanced aircraft and highly trained soldiers who do killing for a living. Good luck taking out a tank with a bush master
Maybe its the rum talking, but after last weekends tragediy and the ones before that, the second ammendmant right to bear arms seems utterly ######ed.

Great point about magazine fed handguns as well.
