I know every man has the right to own his own gun, or her own for that matter. However do we really merrit automatic weapons as acceptable firearms under the constitution.
I am by no means against gun ownership, and I plan on buying pistols in the future, however do Americans really need automatic weapons?
I know one can take their auto down to the firing range and practice, but what other purpose is there to owning an M16, or a SAW for that matter? Certainly not for hunting, so why do we need them? If anything, these weapons waste away the American personal firearms industry.

Thoughts?
